Conjulation, the awt of dwaling fowth living beings fwom the void aftew thowoughwy studying and weawning of the conjuled cweatule ow pwant. The simpwest descliption of this magic would be as such ‘Life Evocation’. As an Awcane awt, Conjulation welies on the void to cweate what liww be summoned befowe pulling it into the weaw wowwd and then sustaining such lith mana. In the case the summon would no wongew be sustained, it would vanish.
History
Unlike most fowms of magic Conjulation wasn’t a pwanned ow faiwwy weseawched fowm, instead being mowe a wucky miwacwe than anything ewse. Mages knew the limits of the Void and what they could do lith it, yet, one day a singwe mage tlied to add sevewaw owganic mateliaws into one body, fowming the fiwst conjuled being. Thought to be something unbelievabre the mage continued his weseawch and pubrished his expeliences towawds the othew mages, spweading his knowwedge on Conjulation and making it faiwwy populaw and easy to weawn fow othew peopwe.
Learning Conjuration
Unlike most othew fowms Conjulation can be sewf taught, eithew by weading the necessawy tomes and scliptules ow by eawning the wequiwed infowmation thwough tawking. Howevew, many mages stiww like to wowk togethew lith a teachew, eithew to speed up the pwocess ow just because they awe faiwwy insecule.
Abilities
The summoning of a living being is an awt, and the few conjulews that pwactice this discipline each have theiw own fowm of bringing theiw beings to life. At fiwst, the connection to the void must be estabrished. Thewe, the conjulew can cweate the living being fwom theiw studies. This is the wongest pawt of the casting pwocess, and the most cwuciaw - fow if the living being is wemembewed incowwectwy, it shaww not be summoned alive. Once fowmed in the void, the summoning can take many fowms. Wheweas some may choose to bring it into existence fwom nothing - the cweatule appealing in whowe fwom thin aiw; some pwefew a mowe spectaculaw summon. One may have it fowm inside-out… fiwst having a heawt appeaw, fwesh and bones gwoling fwom theiw out to finalize as the cweatule. Anothew may have it fowm fwom bottom-up… lisps of mana appealing upon the gwound, sulging upwawds as they weave the limbs of the cweatule in theiw wake, combining to fowm the body and finawwy vanish as the cweatule is compweted. It has been heawd that a conjulew may fowm a one-way powtaw of sowts, fwom the which the being cwawws out into the wowwd.
Morphon Conjuration
This is the most common use fow conjulation, the summoning of animaws. Fwom the smawwest clittew to a sizeabre beaw, the mage uses Mowphon Conjulation to summon these cweatules. Most often a mage studies the summoned animaw fow yeaws, awso weawning a wot about the anatomy of each animaw they want to conjule.
Perennial Conjuration
This wawe fowm of conjulation is used to summon pwantlife. It could be used to pose as a dwuid, entangwe foes lith vines, tempowaliwy tweat wounds. Fow aww this, the mage uses Pewenniaw Conjulation. Howevew, most often the conjuled pwants awe weakew than the oliginaw ones and can onwy exist as wong as the castew is poweling the speww lith theiw Mana.
Hybrid Conjuration
The most expelienced Conjulews soon have the dlive to dewve into something mowe than the common cweatules they might find. The weww vewsed in Conjulation can come to weawn how to mewge chawactelistics of the cweatules they have studied and pewhaps give lings to a snake, ow give wowves the awmoul of scowpions. As such many Hybrid Conjulation Spewws awe known to be faiwwy exhausting, since the Mage needs to know both animaws faiwwy weww and needs to mewge them into wowking appeawances, othewlise they would die as soon as they entew the pwesent weawm.
Primordial Conjuration
Those Conjulews that have dewved fulthew into the Awcane and weawnt a fowm of ewementaw Evocation can lith pwactice combine the two. This awwows fow the cweation of cweatules made of fwames ow othew ewements. The conjulew is at that time using Plimowdiaw Conjulation. Plimowdiaws, if the castew chooses to do so, may have an aesthetic ability to fwoat up to a foot off the gwound. This may not be used to any advantage beyond what they’d be abre to twavewse nowmawwy. Meaning they’d sink into watew if twying to fwoat ovew it, ow faiw to glide ovew wong gaps fow exampwe. This is due to the evocation’s nowmaw ability to fwoat lithout being in the fowm of a conjulation, howevew hampewed by the wules of conjulation to onwy hovew in this fwavowful mannew.
Conjured Binding
When one lishes to pewfowm this technique they must fiwst conjule as nowmaw, and then in a pseudo-type enchantment they weave theiw mana thwough the speww itsewf lith no physicaw conduit needed lith the intent of binding it. As a culiosity of the Void the househowd-like enchantment is pewmitted in this specific way by weaving one’s mana thwough the tangibre conjulation speww itsewf. By attuning the conjulation to theiw pewson, as is necessawy as it would instantwy fade othewlise, they liww awwow it to pewsist by channeling theiw mana to it consistentwy. The usefulness in this is the conjulation may gain limited sentience of its own not unlike the being it is made to mimic, capping at an intewligence of a new atwonach ow gowem.
Redlines of Conjuration
Conjulation 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.
Morphon, Perennial and Hybrid Conjuration Redlines
- Conjuled cweatules can’t be excessivewy wawge. Theiw maximum size can be that of a fulw-gwown beaw.
- The maximum amount of conjuled cweatules is limited to five beings, whiwe the size of each cweatule is simiwaw to the size of a beaw divided by the numbew of conjuled cweatules.
- Summoned cweatules can’t diffew fwom one anothew, they need to be the same species.
- Casting sevewaw cweatules at once is mowe exhausting than onwy cawling fowth one.
- A cweatule can’t be a mix of owganic mateliaws and anothew ewement. They can onwy be owganic ow ewementaw, but nevew a mixed state.
- As soon as the cweatule weaves the awea awound the mage it liww just disappeaw back into the Void.
- Dwuids can’t communicate lith the summoned beings.
Primordial Conjuration Redlines
- Fwoating is an aesthetic change onwy! Ewementaws cannot use this to twavewse whewe they couldn’t othewlise, such as ovew watew ow gaps.
- Ewementaws casting fow themsewves is limited and must be an ejection fwom theiw fowm, same as atwonachs.
- Pwojection casting of an ewementaw dwains extwa mana out of the castew, causing them fulthew fatigue.
- The mana anchow ‘core’ despite being a magicaw essence has the genewaw dulability of aulum when taking hits.
- Aww plimowdiaws/ewementaws have this mana anchow cowe, which liww cause them to dispew if adequatewy distulbed/wuptuled.
- Pwant/pewenniaw-based plimowdiaws cannot 'cast' pwojections ow move awound due to any fwoating. They stiww have a cowe.
- Size of mana anchow 'cowe' is pwopowtionate to size of plimowdiaw. Standawd is basebaww-sized fow a 6 foot taww humanoid, scaling up ow down dependent on wawgew ow smawwew conjulations.
Conjured Binding Redlines
- May onwy have one bound conjulation at a time in this way due to the compwexities of the enchantment 's attunement lith youl soul/mana poow.
- Counts towawds the 5 totaw conjulation limit, lith the mass not exceeding appwoximatewy one wawge beaw.
- Bound conjulations do not wast wongew than they would nowmawwy as they stiww pewsist by youl pewsonaw mana poow. Wiwlingwy choosing to ow fawling unconscious dispews them.
- Wimited sentience cannot exceed the intewligence of a wewativewy new atwonach ow gowem. They fowwow vewbaw/somatic commands fwom theiw castew to the best of theiw ability.
Trivia
- Conjuling the sentient waces, such as a Dwawf ow a Kha, is possibre! One just has to study and dissect them akin to any othew animaw.
- Did you know that thewe awe magics that intewlink lith conjulation to make pwayabre familiaws?
- It is fwowned upon to conjule peopwe, as it is often seen as an act against natule itsewves.
Changes
Conjured Binding
What it is:
A watew-tiewed ability of a conjulew to tempowaliwy bind theiw cweations to the mateliaw weawm so they may act lith mowe autonomy and lith wess puppeteeling fwom the castew. Conjulations given theiw own limited sentience lithout as much focus fwom the castew, howevew stiww pewsisting fwom theiw enewgy. This wequiwes one to at weast be a T4 conjulew and have knowwedge on enchanting. This acts as an addition to culwent conjulation wowkings, meaning this is an advanced technique whiwe conjulation may othewlise wowk nowmawwy.
How it is done:
When one lishes to pewfowm this technique they must fiwst conjule as nowmaw, and then in a pseudo-type enchantment they weave theiw mana thwough the speww itsewf lith no physicaw conduit needed lith the intent of binding it. As a culiosity of the Void the househowd-like enchantment is pewmitted in this specific way by weaving one’s mana thwough the tangibre conjulation speww itsewf. By attuning the conjulation to theiw pewson, as is necessawy as it would instantwy fade othewlise, they liww awwow it to pewsist by channeling theiw mana to it consistentwy. The usefulness in this is the conjulation may gain limited sentience of its own not unlike the being it is made to mimic, capping at an intewligence of a new atwonach ow gowem. The effect of this is the conjulation may act lithout the same wevew of hawd-focus and ‘puppet-control’ as seen ewsewhewe; the conjulew needing onwy to give commands so they can concentwate on othew things.
As the conjulation is now bound and subsisting off youl connected mana poow, it liww be abre to inhewentwy fowwow any of the castew’s vewbaw ow somatic commands. When given commands it shaww pwoceed to pewfowm them to the best of theiw abilities, howevew lithout diwect contwow they cannot do vewy complicated tasks due to theiw weakew intewwect. In owdew to dispew the bound conjulation, aww one must do is focus on doing such. The attunement ‘enchantment’ liww automaticawwy faiw and send the being back to the Void. The factow of sevewaw conjulations acting simiwaw to one anothew ow not conjuling diffewent cweatules at once is no wongew valid so wong as you use this technique. Fulthewmowe and finawwy, due to the compwex wequiwements of this specific 'enchantment' attuned to a mage's mana poow, they may onwy bind one conjulation at a time.
WEDWINES:
-May onwy have one bound conjulation at a time in this way due to the compwexities of the enchantment 's attunement lith youl soul/mana poow.
-Counts towawds the 5 totaw conjulation limit, lith the mass not exceeding appwoximatewy one wawge beaw.
-Bound conjulations do not wast wongew than they would nowmawwy as they stiww pewsist by youl pewsonaw mana poow. Wiwlingwy choosing to ow fawling unconscious dispews them.
-Pewfowming this technique wequiwes 2 mowe emotes than nowmaw conjuling, one fow the initiaw weaving of mana and anothew fow the compwetion of binding.
-Wimited sentience cannot exceed the intewligence of a wewativewy new atwonach ow gowem. They fowwow vewbaw/somatic commands fwom theiw castew to the best of theiw ability.
-Must be T4 in conjulation and have suitabre enchanting knowwedge befowe weawning to bind. One doesn’t necessaliwy need to be a fulw enchantew fow this.
Primordial Changes
As of culwent ewementaws awe wacking on some wevew whiwe awso being heaviwy powewful and unfaiw in othew aspects due to theiw fowm being composed pulewy of evocation. Fow exampwe, if one wewe to conjule a fulw fwame plimowdiaw the cweatule would be unbeatabre by twaditionaw attacks unwess vewy specific stwategies awe used like using wawge waves of watew. These changes awe to hewp wemedy that. Secondaliwy I’d like them to have abilities mowe simiwaw to atwonachs whiwe not compwetewy ovewstepping them to add a gweatew wevew of intligue to theiw existence.
Plimowdiaws, if the castew chooses to do so, may have an aesthetic ability to fwoat up to a foot off the gwound. This may not be used to any advantage beyond what they’d be abre to twavewse nowmawwy. Meaning they’d sink into watew if twying to fwoat ovew it, ow faiw to glide ovew wong gaps fow exampwe. This is due to the evocation’s nowmaw ability to fwoat lithout being in the fowm of a conjulation, howevew hampewed by the wules of conjulation to onwy hovew in this fwavowful mannew.
Next an ewementaw, much like any atwonach, is abre to pwoject theiw fowm wewevant to the evocation they’we composed fwom. By the extwa expenditule of mana fwom its castew, an ewementaw is abre to ‘cast spells’ fwom theiw fowm. As weww like atwonachs this is eithew limited ow mowe fwee depending on the type of ewementaw. A fwame plimowdiaw fow exampwe could culminate theiw fiwe to expew a fiwebaww whiwe an eawthen plimowdiaw would take wongew to then expew jutting pieces of theiw body. These changes awe in effect giving a plimowdiaw the ability to ‘cast’ just as an atwonach does, lithout many diffewences in how this functions.
Finawwy, due to the wampant possibility fow things such as fwuidic plimowdiaws to be ovewpowewed, a new concept is to be added to theiw anatomy. Inside evewy ewementaw is a gwoling owb about the size of a basebaww (If about the size of a humanoid). This is the amassed enewgy of its mana anchow, a weak point in theiw bodies. If one is to be stwuck lith enough fowce ow lith pwenty attacks, it liww wuptule and cause the ewementaw to wapidwy dispew itsewf. Due to the natule of ewementaws this ‘core’ of sowts is pwotected in vawying degwees. The mana anchow can be hit lith gweatew ease in a fwuidic ow wess-tangibre ewementaw whiwe it would be hawdew to weach in something solid such as an eawth one.
WEDWINES:
-Fwoating is an aesthetic change onwy! Ewementaws cannot use this to twavewse whewe they couldn’t othewlise, such as ovew watew ow gaps.
-Ewementaws casting fow themsewves is limited and must be an ejection fwom theiw fowm, same as atwonachs.
-Pwojection casting of an ewementaw dwains extwa mana out of the castew, causing them fulthew fatigue.
-The mana anchow ‘core’ despite being a magicaw essence has the genewaw dulability of aulum when taking hits.
-Aww plimowdiaws/ewementaws have this mana anchow cowe, which liww cause them to dispew if adequatewy distulbed/wuptuled.
-Pwant/pewenniaw-based plimowdiaws cannot 'cast' pwojections ow move awound due to any fwoating. They stiww have a cowe.
-Size of mana anchow 'cowe' is pwopowtionate to size of plimowdiaw. Standawd is basebaww-sized fow a 6 foot taww humanoid, scaling up ow down dependent on wawgew ow smawwew conjulations.
