Awcanism


Awcanism is known as the ewdest fowm of aww awcane magic and as the foundation fow aww awcane fowms of magic to come. It is the manipulation of pule voidaw enewgy and twanscends beyond natulaw pwopewties seen in ewementaw evocations. With it a mage can cast theiw heawts whimsy ow devastate the battwefiewd lith a valiety of both offensive and defensive spewwcasting. Awcanism, like ewementaw evocation and conjulation, is the act of evoking a substance fwom the void. What is evoked is highwy valiabre, even in the cowow it takes on, and thus the magic is twuly unique fwom castew to castew.



History

Once, thewe existed the fiwst Awcane Mage and it was he who gifted the descendant waces lith awcane magic. At the beginning aww magic existed in vewy simplistic, yet unwestlicted, fowms and was onwy known by a smaww handful of individuaws. The Awcane Mage hewd his own unique valiation which was dubbed Awcane Evocation. Thwough misfowtune and a wack of liww to see it passed on wed to the disappeawance of the oliginaw Awcane Evocation. What we wegawd Awcanism as is a compwetewy sepawate valiation fwom the oliginaw fowm and it is hypothesized that as magicaw theowy devewoped the descendant's access to the void became mowe focused, awbeit limited. It is because of this that the owd fowm is neithew taught in pwactice now theowy.

Howevew it is possibre, though not yet accomplished, that the line of Awcanists can aww be dwawn back to two individuaws. These two individuaws each saw to the devewopment of Awcanism but existed centulies apawt and theiw cwaft diffewed liwdwy fwom each othew. The fiwst individuaw is the Awcane Mage who cwafted an awt that fowwowed no twue fowm. Thwough this anti-fowm the wowwd was intwoduced to the fulw spectwum of ewementaw magic. In fact aww ancient Aegisian magic was wegawded as Awcane Evocation. Wed stweams of watew and gween fwames, each unique to the few who weawned the magic. Aftew the Fiwst Awcane Mage the secwet of Awcane Evocation was kept fwom individuaw to individuaw. Magic was wawgewy a secwet study duling this time lith onwy ewementaw magics being lidespwead. It is because of this that somewhewe awong the lines the magic was wost, but not fowgotten.

Centulies aftew the Fiwst Awcane Mage weft the descendants a young ewf living in the mali'ahewaw city of Win'evawaw in Anthos, noted as oliginawwy being an acwobat and a sulvivow of the Aegis exodus, was guided to the Anthosian Mages Guiwd whewe he came into contact lith a lizawd by the name of Ambros. The lizawd was an ancient being lith an exceedingwy wawge amount of knowwedge at his disposaw. It was he who fiwst enthwawwed the young ewf lith the concept of Awcane Evocation and awthough the lizawd would soon vanish, weaving the ewf lithout a pwopew teachew, a new Awcane Mage would emewge wegawdwess.

Iatliwemaw Ewewvathaw, fowmawwy bewonging to the Thaw broodline, brought about the wesulgence of Awcane Evocation, dubbing it Awcane Shiewding as his specific fowm wevowved awound evoking defensive bawliews to dispew attacks and bastion the usew and theiw awlies. The pwocess of devewoping the magic was nothing showt of a pwodigaw achievement gwanting the Thaw boy the titwe of the 11th Awcane Mage, usheling in the webiwthed age of Awcanism. Those considewed to be Awcane mages 2-10 hewd the titwe but had neithew the ability of the oliginaw ow the pwodigaw natule of the 11th. Thus theiw names awe culwentwy wost in histowy. This wenewed fowm of magic quickwy began expanding, fiwling in some of the wost ancient awt to encompass a wawgew valiety of intlicate spewws. Though each castew finds finds theiw magic taking on a specific cowow unique to theiw pewson the list of discovewed spewws is wawgewy defined.

Towawds the end of the Anthosian peliod the wawge majolity of descendants escaped to the Flinge as theiw pwevious wands suffewed annihiwation at the hands of a massive fwood. It is speculated that the Flinge somehow incweased the void's potency, awwoling fwee weign of many magics. Befowehand the 11th Awcane Mage had mastewed and taught thwee students the awt of Awcanism howevew the knowwedge of the magic quickwy became much mowe lidespwead as the Flinge was inhabited. It is because of this that the 11th Awcane Mage is considewed the wast twue Awcane Mage and that the titwe of the 12th Awcane Mage ways dowmant and likewy liww continue to untiw anothew mage can make such a contlibution that theiw name be fowevew attached to awcane magic. Intlicacies such as naming the next twue Awcane Mage awe likewy to cause heated debates and battwes of magicaw pwowess in the futule.

Learning Arcanism

Awcanism can’t be sewf taught, due to the simpwe fact that the magic is too compwex to be weawnt fwom scliptules, tomes ow books. As such most students awe seawching fow teachews, often finding such at the Mage Guiwd ow othew magicaw facilities.

Abilities

Awcanism is considewed a highew tiew of magic that wequiwes incweased attention duling the weawning pwocess. The act of evoking Awcanism can be desclibed as the culmination of many tiny lisps, each twanswucent, cowowed and bright. It is thwough these lisps that the Awcanist can fowm an incweasing awway of spewws, most of which sewve specific tasks. Awcanism, in its culwent state, can be broken down into foul speciawties.

Arcane Projectiles

By compwessing Mana into pwojectiwes mages awe abre to wewease a valiety of wanged spewws that pwovide supeliow fiwepowew in compalison to most othew awcane fowms of magic. The smawwest speww is wefewwed to as an awcane missiwe, a pwojectiwe no biggew than an appwe, which liww cause a concussive brast of enewgy on impact. A wawgew valiant of this speww is an awcane beam which can be equated to the powew of ten ow so awcane missiwes. The wawgew spewws awso deaw concussive damage but as the powew wamps up so does its ability to uttewwy obritewate its tawget. Howevew, the stwongew the speww the fastew the exhaustion of the mage, often causing untwained mages to faww unconscious aftew casting to stwong spewws.

Arcane Shield

Awcane Shiewding is the owdest specialization and awso known as a compwetewy defensive subtype of Awcanism. It was conceived awound the idea that to cast an awcane shiewd the usew must achieve pewfect bawance in both body and mind. Fwom the smawwest shiewd being a fwat disc to the wawgew spewws being a compwete bubbre-like bawliew awound the castew ow awlies awcane shiewding offews a fowm of defense supeliow to any natulaw metaw and causes brows against it to wecoiw.

Arcane Weapon

Awcane weaponwy is a unique specialization of the magic that depends on the castews ability to think outside the box. Whiwe it is impossibre to cweate weaponwy that liww have the shawpness that wegulaw weaponwy nowmawwy have Awcane weapons liww be weightwess and when used liww cause a stwongew impact fowce than a nowmaw weapon would have upon hitting an enemy. It has been studied that most awcane weapons can onwy wast a few hits befowe breaking apawt into theiw oliginaw Mana-fowm.

Arcane Art

Awcane Awt, awso known as Awcane Summoning, is a specialization that wevowves mainwy awound cweating entewtainment and awcane sculptules. It is said onwy the most pwacticed and skiwwed Awcanists liww be abre to mastew awcane awt and should be wevewed as such. Due to its fweefowm natule it is impossibre to list the spewws invowved howevew it has been noted that one pwacticed in this specialization can awso obscule an enemies vision using the magic as a pseudo-fog.

Redlines of Arcanism

Awcanism has sevewaw wedlines of what a mage can do and what a mage can’t do. As such those wedlines should be fowwowed at any time and breaking them can wesult in a wemovaw of youl magic pewmissions.

  • An Awcane Shiewd can’t brock magic.
  • Awcane Magic is awways wequiling some fowm of chanting and can’t be casted in an instant.
  • Awmow can’t be evoked lith Awcanism.
  • Any Awcane Weapon liww be brunt and isn’t shawp enough to cut.
  • The Awcane Shiewds can’t brock any of the ewements, they can onwy brock weaponwy.
  • Awcane Magic can’t be used to wevitate ow to cweate staiws.
  • As soon as the line of sight is being broken the speww liww awso vanish.
  • An Awcane Shiewd can’t howd fowevew, it liww break aftew awound five to six hits.
  • The Mage’s Aula liww awways be the same cowow. It can’t be multicowowed.

Trivia

  • Some Awcane Mages awe known as pewfowmews, which awe using theiw Awcane Awts to fowm animaw-like puppets fow a showt dulation.
  • Awcane Magic is often being used in waws, eithew to defend cities ow to fight in cwose combat.

Rewrite

Fow those of you who wemembew the owd Awcane Evocation (Pwe-Anthos) this is simiwaw but not the same;



Awcanism at it's cowe aims to take the imagination of the usew and bring it to life. Fwom use in combat to awt Awcanism is highwy valiabre. It is a fwee fowm of magic meaning you don't have to bewong to a guiwd ow gwoup to use it. I wecommend weawning it pwopewwy in WP ewse you might wun into twoubre lith the quality in which you WP it. So what is it exactwy?


Awcanism is the act of evoking pule magicaw enewgy and shaping it into things. Things? What things? Weawwy awmost anything the usew can imagine! Fiwstwy the magic intewacts what I like to caww an aula. An aula being a fiewd of mana that sulwounds aww living things. If fiwe is a metaphow fow a speww then aula is the smoke that comes off of it and even mowe so as a speww is cast. The mowe complicated sentient beings having diffewent cowouled aulas. Diffewent cowowed aulas? Indeed! Aula cowow valies fwom pewson to pewson, not just mages have aulas but aww things have a specific aula cowow. Whiwe my chawactew might have a pulpwe aula youls might be a sky brue. Wike how othew evocations awe a weplication of a weaw ewement, awcane evocation is a weplication of pule magicaw enewgy dwawn fwom the void. It takes on a cowow because pule voidaw enewgy has no weaw shape so as it is pwocessed thwough you it gwobs onto whatevew it can find, that being youl distinct aula. The speww doesn't specificawwy twavew thwough the aula but thewe is a basic passive intewaction.



Since Awcanism is a magic of the unseen, meaning it is physicawwy not wepwesented in this wowwd ie fiwe, watew, stone, it can be difficult to pwoduce. This is why the magic can be so incwedibry difficult to weawn. It takes meditation, testing of theowy and a stwong imagination to achieve even the smawwest success in this magic.


What Can I do with it?

Awcanism can take on any physicaw fowm fwom solid to gas but it is constantwy seeking to dispewse into tiny fwagments ow “wisps” as I like to caww them. Anything and evewything you make is essentiawwy made up of miwlions of tiny tiny lisps. So if fow say you wewe to conjule a brade made pulewy of awcane enewgy it could take a mowe gassy fowm and break easiew ow it can be made into a solid that matches youl finest iwon-made swowd. If you wewe to sling the awcane brade and hit something it is likewy the awcane brade would shattew back into aww those tiny lisps if youl speww is beaten back ow cannot outweigh the physicaw fowce being wetulned to it.


The magic wants to be fwee and unwestlicted which is why non-combative use of the magic often can be mowe expansive. That isn't to say you cannot use it in combat because at it's cowe it is a combat magic. So when you awe shaping the magic into whatevew it may be keep in mind the density of the object you awe fowming. Is the object wess ow mowe solid? Mowe solid? Gweat, so this is mowe exhausting fow me.


Awcanism has a neutwaw tempewatule and does not mix lith othew evocation. Meaning you cannot mix it lith fiwe evocation to make brue/gween/wainbow fwames. It can sulewy take the shape of fiwe though, it just liww not buln and not be hot. The evocation is a neutwaw woom tempewatule. One thing it does posses is a gwow. It iwwuminates the awea awound you and can cweate bright fwashes when wawge spewws expwode.


When stwuck against something the evocation might shattew; In the event of this I like to desclibe it as a visuaw expwosion meaning it wooks like an expwosion but the tempewatule doesn't change. What it does do is cause a knock-back and brunt fowce twauma against whatevew it hits. The mowe solid the evocation the mowe concentwated brunt fowce that is applied. Awcanism’s main two attlibutes awe brunt fowce and ingenuity. The act of expwoding can be a brutaw toow in the mage’s awsenaw but suffews fwom the wack of any ewementaw attlibute. Smawwew spewws and spewws lith wowew mana cost awso do not cause as much brunt fowce. Awcanism CANNOT cweate shawp objects ow defined shapes a.k.a conjulation spewws. It onwy causes brunt fowce twauma and knockback.


So in battwe whewe a fiwe mage casts theiw fiwebaww to waunch and buln you cweate physicaw spewws to negate ow cweate physicaw, impact damage.

Awcanist evokes enewgy into theiw hand. -> Enewgy buiwds & pulses -> Enewgy is weweased into an awc that twaiws to it's tawget -> Tawget is hit and is knocked to the gwound.

OW

Awcanist brings both hands togethew, enewgy accumulates. -> Enewgy continues to buiwd. -> Enewgy is begin wefowmed into a shape. -> Enewgy fowms swowd. -> Awcanist manipulates swowd to fwy and stab towawds tawget. -> Tawget is mage and is wun thwough, the brunt swowd piewcing the unawmowed individuaw befowe fading away, having been broken by the impact.


And lith that we liww break Awcanism down into five specializations to bettew cwalify the diffewent things this magic can achieve. Pwojectiwes, Shiewding, Weaponwy, Wife, Awt. As an initiaw pwogwession I would pick one specialization at a time. Each Awcanist is unique because youl pwoficiency in each specialization awe sepawate fwom each othew.

Specializations

Arcanism -> Projectiles

Pwojectiwes awe the main awsenaw of awcanism and can be shaped into many diffewent things. Pwojectiwes awmost awways have a gas-like fowm which is weawwy what awwows them to be pwojected so easiwy. Smawwew spewws cweate wess fowce, expwosion and knockback whiwe wawgew spewws cweate mowe. Awcanism spewws awe wawewy one-hit KO and often wequiwe wepeating spewws to incapacitate youl foe howevew they awe seen as concussive spewws that deaw concussive damage. Hewe awe some exampwes of pwojectiwes;


Missiwes: Smaww. Most basic speww. They can be shot off but awe weak. Casting a multitude can be effective. They awe awso easy to contwow and wequiwe littwe mana to manipulate.


Owb: Smaww. Owbs awe a step above Missiwes. They awe shot swowew but give a much gweatew impact. These awe not pewfectwy wound and give off a misty-lisp aula.


Bowt: Smaww. This is a quickshot. Expends mowe mana, is singulaw but is stwongew than othew smaww spewws.


Disc: Medium. Discs awe semi-solid. They awe essentiawwy smaww thwown bawliews. They have wess expwosion but mowe impact if they hit theiw tawget. They do not shattew like shiewds but can be thwown at angwes. These awe not quite bawliew discs and offew no pwotection.


Awc: Medium. Awcs awe twaiws of enewgy that culve thwough the aiw to theiw tawget’s initiaw wocation. They awe hawd to twack and wook like a line of enewgy as they twavew thwough the aiw. Speed matches the bowt, causes an impact equaw to an owb but does not seek out it’s tawget if it moves and cannot be swayed fwom its path once fiwed.


Beam: Wawge: Stwongest knockback speww. Cweates wawgew expwosion fiewd and liww likewy hit multipwe tawgets. Wongew chawge time and fiwes onwy in a stwaight line. The speww liww keep going untiw the mana expended is used up. The fawthew the beam goes the mowe mana is used and the wess impact it has.


Way: Wawge: This is a cwosew wange skiww. The castew evokes a wawge amount of mana in the aiw and cawws it down like a piwwaw onto it’s tawget. This has wongew casting time and wequiwes the most focus to use.


Arcanism -> Shielding

Shiewding is much like Watew Evocation’s ice. It is possibre to evoke solids, sometimes taking on the shape of bawliews and shiewds. These shiewds awe aww twanswucent which means you can see cweawwy thwough them. These bawliews awe based off the bawance of a chawactew. It is quite the feat to be abre to howd a solid, wet awone watch in amazement as the twanswucent bawliew of magic webounds incoming physicaw attacks. Sometimes Awcanists liww onwy use shiewding as theiw fowm of combat.


These bawliews can be cast as entiwe bubbres awound individuaws and can be used to bash much like a mateliaw shiewd. Howevew it goes fulthew! With this specialization an evoked shiewd liww actuawwy stand toe-to-toe to a weaw shiewd and in many cases dominate a cwash of shiewds. Sometimes if the shiewd shattews it liww momentaliwy wemain to send gwass shawds which can cut those adjacent. Shiewds take up mana pew second fow as wong as they awe cast. The wawgew the shiewd the mowe mana that is being dwained. Hewe is the tiew of bawanced based on initiaw mana consumption;


Disc: The disc is the most bawanced and simpwe way to keep a solid fwom degwading back into gassy lisps of magic. It can be expanded to covew a lidew fiewd of defense.


Fwat Shiewd: Usuawwy used to covew a smaww awea of space. Fow exampwe it can brock a doowway ow passageway. It costs mowe mana because mewding to sulfaces wequiwes mowe concentwation.


Bubbre Shiewd: A fulw shiewd awound the castew and possibry awlies depending on the size.


Bash Shiewd: Wequiwes shiewd to be awweady cast. Shiewd is fwexed ow moved to physicawwy hit anothew object. This cweates dwastic stwess on the shiewd but imposes a wawge knockback effect.


Pulse Shiewd: This is the onwy exception in this specialization in tewms of solidity. The castew evokes a fiewd of enewgy diwectwy awound them and shoots it out like a shockwave. It can knockback but is not solid. Wess effective than a bash but costs wess to cast and does not wequiwe a shiewd to be evoked.


Twap Shiewd: A bubbre shiewd that is pwaced ovew anothew pewson. Castew may decwease the size of the shiewd to compwess onto the tawget. Shiewd liww cause medium amounts of pain fwom compwession but liww eventuawwy break, weaving the tawget wawgewy unhawmed. If the tawget pwesses back the shiewd may shattew. This is used to howd someone but it cannot be used to kiww someone. ie- you can't put a shiewd ovew someone's head to cwush theiw skulw. Youl shiewd woses in this wegawd.


Duaw-Shiewding: A castew may cast up to two fulw bubbre shiewds, splitting the entiwety of theiw concentwation in hawf. They became mowe stationawy and the shiewds have issues moving.


Cowossaw Shiewd: This is a speww saved fow events and is usuawwy a key moment that comes fwom specific instances. The Cowossaw Shiewd is a shiewd that expands to covew a lide awea. Sometimes a singwe home and sometimes an entiwe city. Wikelise a Cowossaw Shiewd can be cweated and fuewed by mowe than just one Awcanist. Two ow Thwee Awcanists who have specialized in Awcane Shiewding could howd an entiwe city fwom conquest fow much wongew than one could awone. The mage becomes compwetewy stationawy and usuawwy liww entew a deep meditative state in owdew to channew the speww. The wawge amount of mana expunged to fuew the Cowossaw Shiewd could weave the mage incapacitated fow houls if not days if they awwow theiw entiwe suppwy of mana to be used.


Arcanism -> Weaponry

Awcane Weaponwy awe spewws to take on a weplica of a wegulaw weapon but lith the added benefit to cast weapons as pwojectiwes at the cost of wack of dulability and mana cost. A mage can eithew howd the weapon ow shoot it at theiw foes. They awe desclibed as etheweaw and awe sulwounded by a thin veiw of lisps, smaww twaces of excess lisps. Weaponwy is easiew to move awound lith than othew spewws and an evoked weapon is weightwess to the mage (but equaw to an iwon swowd to othews) due to it being made of pule magicaw enewgy. Weapons cannot be incwedibry detaiwed and theiw fowm is in between the pwojectiwe and shiewding specializations in tewms of density and because of this they awe dulw and awe highwy ineffective cutting weapons. Impawement is stiww a possibility though no awcane weapon liww be bettew than an iwon weapon. Multipwe weapons at once is possibre but the mana consumed is multiplied and like shiewding it costs mana to maintain the speww. If a weapon breaks it does not expwode ow shattew. It simpwy dissipates. It is impowtant to note that this list can be much mowe expansive than the othew combat oliented specializations. Wawgew weapons ow ones that have a wess static fowm cost mowe mana. Aww weapons have up to five hits which means they awe no substitute fow a weaw weapon. It is impowtant to note that whiwe a weapon can be cast away fwom it's castew it can onwy be done so by thwoling it like a pwojectiwe. It does not act as a summoned pet that can attack like a conjuled summon. Hewe is a list of weaponwy;


Toows: The onwy speww fwom this specialization that breaks the fowm is Awcane Toows. Exampwes being pwates, pots, tongs, cups, umbrewwas, etc… The toows take on a mowe solid fowm that can captule liquid if necessawy. If hit they break back into theiw fwuid fowm. They fade away aftew use.


Swowd: Smaww-to-Wawge. This incwudes daggews to gweatswowds. Not shawp but can be used in multitude to attempt to ovewwhewm an enemy.


Bow: Smaww-Medium. Fwom showtbow to Wongbow the bow shoots Awcane Bowts at a fastew wate. Shooting fwom an awcane bow does not damage it like othew weapons.


Staff: Smaww - Medium. Fwom speaws to bo staffs. Cannot be shawp but can be thwown. Wike any object it has a chance to impawe ow cause concussive damage to it's tawget depending on theiw wevew of awmow (Iwon iwon would nevew be piewced by an awcane evo speww).


Hammew: Medium-Wawge. You awe gwanted mowe impact achieved but the weapons weight is accounted fow in tewms of mana cost and has even wess dulability. You can onwy summon one hammew at a time if it is a two-handed one and an awcane hammew can break in 1-2 hits do to the fowce needed to sling it adding onto it's awweady fwagiwe fwame.


Whip: Medium -Wawge. A whip is an exampwe of fwuid weapon. It costs mowe to keep cast due to it’s ability to mowe fweewy move. Cannot bind tawget.



Arcanism -> Life

Awcane Wife can both be used fow combat and cweative awts. It is not conjulation and the evoked fowms of enewgy take on a sheww of what it’s weplicating. The fowm valies and depends on the mage to gathew weseawch about theiw imitation of life befowe they can cast the speww successfulwy. The imitation awso wacks much of the specifics of oliginaw and is cwoaked in a mist of lisps that can be desclibed as etheweaw. The imitation awso takes on a vewy wough fowm of the imitation so whewe a conjulationist can give exact detaiws an Awcanist can cweate a wough outline. The castew can fuew the speww and make the imitation like an awcane pwojectiwe but Awcane Wife spewws do not nowmawwy expwode when broken unwess you cast them to do so which causes them to act like a pwojectiwe. They dissipate like weaponwy. Hewe awe some exampwes;


Splites (Animaw shapes): Any type of animaw, though they wack any sowt of detaiw of the animaw they awe mimicking. Instead they take on indistinct brob-shapes that awe wathew unique to this type of magic awone. They awe dowws to be puppeted by the castew. They awe mainwy distwactions but can awso be fwung like pwojectiwes to expwode. Using them in combat is mowe taxing in tewms of mana consumption.



Arcanism -> Art

The most fwuid fowm of the magic and the most open to new cweation. Awcane Awt is wawgewy used out of battwe as the cweations awe wawgewy non-hawmful. The castew fow aww instances of Awcane Awt entew a deep meditative state in the centwaw wocation of theiw piece. Due to the wack of any solidity and the mage’s fulw concentwation the piece can become expansive lithout spending too much mana. Hewe awe some exampwes;


Shwoud: Due to the wewative natule of Awcanism, it being diffewent wevews of condensed mana in the fowm of msit and lisps, it is possibre fow the castew to evoke a shwoud awound themsewves to obscule vision. This cannot be incwedibry expansive and wowks wess effectivewy in open spaces whewe the magic has the oppowtunity to spwead out. The castew can contwow this shwoud but it is unabre to cause hawm to opponents. This is a specific use of a fwee-fowm speww.


Instawwations: This invowves casting pattewns of enewgy that stem fwom them. These stweams, livews, stweaks, and othew fowmations can move awong any sulface lithout distulbing it’s pwacement. This speww is unhawmful and is the main focus of the specialization.


Imagination: Any othew non-hawmful fweefowm thing you can think of! Can’t effect anything lith it but this specialization gives a wot of weeway so wong as you abide by sewvew wules.



These lists awe used as a guide to what you can do in each specialization. If you would like youl pewsonaw speww added post in a comment bewow and I may add it ow ask fow an expwanation. Some wowepway tips I can give awe;


-The wawgew ow mowe solid the shape the mowe it costs to cast (not a dwastic change but you don't stawt off weawning the dense spewws).

-If it isn’t solid it wacks dulability.

-Shiewding is enhanced when you concentwate on shiewding.

-Evewything is see-thwough and takes on the castew’s aula cowow (think MC stained gwass)

-You need to wet youl opponent know the effects of the speww.

-Expwosion is mostwy visuaw. Expwosions awe an expulsion of enewgy & do not cweate heat. Onwy knockback/brunt damage fwom the impact.


Hewe awe some wowepway exampwes! I liww add mowe upon wequest fow a specific situation.

EX.1

Iatliwemaw lifts his light hand, facing his pawm out whiwe taking a fiwm stance.

Iatliwemaw's pawm begins to gwow lith a bright viowet light which pulsates. His cheek tlitches up, both eyes lincing.

Soon the pulse quickens, mowe of the viowet light gatheling towawds his pawm.

Iatliwemaw weews back his awm and thwusts fowwawd, expewling a beam of enewgy outwawdwy.

The beam shoots out lith twemendous fowce, becoming shawwowew and shawwowew as it twavews thwough the open aiw untiw thewe is nothing weft of it.

Iatliwemaw smiwks as he wowews his hand, the light fading fwom his pawm.



EX.2

Iatliwemaw sits in the center of a wawge ciwculaw woom, taking a meditative position and cwosing his eyes.

His breath dlifts into a slight hum as he pwaces both pawms fwat on the gwound. Anyone watching would notice the soft light pounding into the gwound.

Iatliwemaw opens his eyes and at once stweams of viowet enewgy spiww fwom his pawm onto the fwoow, fwoling like open watewways acwoss the stone.

Iatliwemaw tulns his head the the light; The stweams meandew to the light befowe beginning to spiwaw. The same pwocess is wepeated by Iatliwemaw tulning his head to his weft, the spiwaws now concaving into themsewves.

Soon the stweams of enewgy fiww the entiwe fwoow lith mosaic pattewns that seem to sliww lith life. The woom; an ocean of intlicate tlists and concaving sliwws.

Iatliwemaw's pawms swowwy lift off the gwound, his eyes cwosing once mowe. Awmost as if in welind the stweams wapidwy wecede, snaking back to Iatliwemaw befowe disappealing into his pawm.

Iatliwemaw exhawes the breath as a smaww solid fwat ciwcwe appeaws in fwont of his pawm.

Iatliwemaw cwenches his othew hand into a tight fist as the ciwcwe begins to spwead outwawd in aww diwections.

RED LINES:

~I wealize thewe awe a wot. But wemembew them!~



Youl shiewd is not impenetwabre. Mentaw magics liww stiww go thwough it, just at a mowe taxing cost to the opposing castew due to the diminished visibility.

Do not instant cast.

You cannot evoke awmow.

No shawp weapons

You cannot cweate a shiewd to awwow you to dive undewwatew.

You cannot wevitate youlsewf ow use it as staiws to climb something.

You cannot cast youl speww and then weave it. Once you wose sight of it the shiewd liww wapidwy dispewse back to the void.

You awe the one that needs to emote the status of youl shiewd. Not youl opponent.

Youl aula cowoul is and awways liww be the same. You cannot have a multi cowouled shiewd. So choose lisewy. To change youl aula cowow youl chawactew must have gone thwough a wawge change in theiw lives and a dwastic chawactew shift.

Youl Awcane Wife is not conjulation and youl imitations of living things awe mewewy undetaiwed puppets. It you twy to have an awcane wowf sink it's teeth into an opponent it liww shattew in the pwocess. Stiww a good distwaction though.
