Air Evocation is the conjuration and manipulation of air directly from the Void in order to cast it in waves or project it in other means, such as a whirlwind or sphere of compacted air. Air overall is simple, yet much more elegant in its form as opposed to other branches of evocation.
Contents
History
Such a fickle element is that of wind, from creating a soft breeze to blow upon one’s face, to sending torrents of wind which stand testament to the very harshness of nature. It is a power so many take for granted, and yet holds much power and elegance in it, as opposed to the crudeness of other evocations. While the more simple minded of mages may opt for learning a concrete art as fire, it is those who seek finesse and elegance within their craft who pursue the path of air evocation, conjuring forth air from the Void to manipulate at their whim.
Learning & Teaching
Conjuring air first requires one to establish a mana anchor, requiring them to be in a more meditative state of mind. While this may be particularly difficult for newer magi, as one progresses through this art and other arts of the Arcane, they will find it to become easier as they go along. Once the anchor has been established, the mage must then picture the air they wish to conjure before pulling it out from the Void.
Akin to other Arcane Arts, Air Evocation is an art of repetition and intense study, requiring the mage to study air devoutly before they may consider drawing upon its properties from the Void. Air in particular, however, may be more difficult for a mage to study, as air is often a more invisible force as opposed to other elements such as earth or fire. Regardless, with enough study of the element, particularly how it moves and feels, one may be able to successfully conjure air to use at their disposal.
- Air Evocation takes up [1] magic slot.
- Air Evocation can be practiced with a valid [MA], which can be obtained by learning under a mastered air evocationist with a valid [TA].
- Air evocation requires a stable connection to the Void.

Progression
T1 - Novice
The mage has just begun to connect, assuming they haven’t learned to already. Assuming this is the case, they will have trouble connecting for the first two tiers of their training. If they have already connected, they will only be able to conjure a faint brush of air before becoming exhausted. Lasts two [OOC] weeks.

T2 - Apprentice
The mage has gained better experience in connecting and near mastered connection, as well as being able to conjure a soft gust of air before becoming exhausted. They can form vague shapes, though nothing complex or large. Lasts three [OOC] weeks.
Spells: Conjure Air, Gust, Redirect, Air Sweep
Skill Level — All non-combat spells may have a maximum size/radius of five square meters at [T2]. The detail level of air at this stage is a bit less faint, light streaks of air able to be seen, albeit still formless. The evocationist may conjure a softer breeze and maintain it briefly before becoming exhausted.

The detail level of air is much more refined, the mage air evident through much more visible streaks or aura. The evocationist can now summon forth more adept air spells as well, as well as begin to compress air.
T4 - Expert
The mage now has nearly mastered their elegant and free element, possessing far greater combat and out of combat capability, the shapes of their spells now much more precise than before, though are still not perfect. Their compression capability has vastly improved as well, allowing them much more versatile attacks, and they can begin to study and conjure air to create sounds. Lasts six [OOC] weeks.
Spells: Conjure Air, Gust, Redirect, Air Sweep, Air Shield, Air Blast, Launch, Sound Blast, Windstorm
Skill Level — All non-combat water spells may have a maximum size/radius of twenty-five square meters. The detail level of air is very refined, practically mastered, streaks very clear and visible. The evocationist has much more experience with compression and has begun to use that to create sound.
T5 - Master
The mage has completely mastered their Voidal art, able to manipulate their water to a very fine degree as well as maintain a far greater concentration than before. They can use all the spells of Air Evocation, able to perform powerful feats of their art in both combat and non-combat.
Spells: Conjure Air, Gust, Redirect, Air Sweep, Air Shield, Air Blast, Launch, Sound Blast, Windstorm, Compression, Whirlwind
Skill Level — All non-combat air spells may have a maximum size/radius of fifty square meters. The detail level of air and sound is mastered both in and out of combat, able to be as refined as the mage wishes. The evocationist has truly mastered every aspect of their craft.
Limitations
Properties
While other elements of the Void may appear more concrete, Voidally conjured air itself still holds a myriad of properties which, while mirroring the natural element, differ it from your typical breeze or average whirlwind. These properties must be taken into account when conjuring air for any purpose.
- Air is a pushing force, used to move objects or people in various directions. It cannot be used as a sharp slash, and only in certain cases may it be used as a compressed, solid force. Typically it is very free and flowing.
- Conjured air can appear either as faint streaks or can be colored with one’s aura. Whichever the mage choses for their aesthetic is up to them. Additionally, where air is conjured, objects may rustle and there may be disturbances of wind pushing or pulling in lighter objects. Most air cannot be conjured subtly, as at least one of these tells must be utilized alongside the mage’s connection tell.
- Air may be made warmer or chillier for aesthetic, however, warmer air cannot cause fires nor burns on its own, and chilled air may not yield frostbite. Air may be able to fan or help flames to grow, though may never create fire on its own.
Redlines
- An Air Evocationist cannot manipulate real air, only control what they themselves have conjured forth from the Void. Once they have cast their air and it has made contact with the real world, it cannot be controlled again, dematerializing back into the Void once its task has been completed.
- All spells require line of sight, that being their maximum range, unless specified otherwise. The further the spell is casted, the more draining it may be and the more time it may take to charge
- One may not suffocate, inflate, or in any way manipulate one or anothers breathing in any shape or form.
- Any aesthetic of any spell cannot change its mechanical function. For example, one could make a small arrow out of an Air Blast as a projectile only, though not as a primordial conjuration, rather simply being a projectile composed of air that appears in the shape of an arrow.
- Casting Air Evocation, as any Void Magic, can be tiring, draining energy and mana from the mage. The more a mage casts, the more exhausted they will become progressively.
