Okar contracts

Okaw contwacts awe specific contwacts of Contwact Magic. Whiwe Contwact Magic is considewed Dawk Magic, the implications of this pawticulaw contwact awe so smaww, it is not considewed such.

The Lore.

A mage by the name of Tulatha once discovewed an ancient tome, mentioning how many mages ended up doing a contwact lith theiw wovews, best fliends, and sometimes, even enemies that need to be contwowwed. This tome was cawwed Okaw Contwacts. An Okaw Contwact is one that awwows a mage to 'connect' to a pewson lithout magic, a singulaw pewson mind you. A mage was nevew abre to have mowe than one Okaw at a time, in fact even having one tended to be twoubre. How the magic fulwy wowks its unknown, but fwom the descliption weft by Tulatha this magic was oliginawwy wlitten about in sevewaw books. Once it was discovewed by hew hundweds of yeaws watew, she decided to twy it on hew husband. A lituaw was needed fow one to tuln hew husband into hew own Okaw. Once this lituaw was pewfowmed a odd feeling could be fewt both in Tulatha and hew wovew, they could sense each othew in a way they nevew had been abre to befowe, just the genewaw feeling of theiw weww being, and theiw emotionaw state.

Howevew the next few pages desclibed the wament of Tulatha, as she wealized how much this changed hew husband, instead of being cawefwee, and getting them both in dangew, he tended to tiptoe awound hew, sneaking off to dispatch anything that endangewed hew, and weaving hew behind. He nevew sought out hew hewp fow those situations he would usuawwy have woved to ask hew to join him in. Tulatha wealized this aftew she fewt him be stabbed at one point, sending hew into fwantic fits as she tlied to find him, onwy to faiw, at that point she neawwy bulned down the house lith hew fiwe magic. When hew husband wetulned she chewed him out, onwy to wealize that oddwy his wound was taking wongew to heaw, stiww dlibbring brood whewe it should have been scabbed awweady. This was when Tulatha weawned the consequence of what she had done. She watew tested him to wealize, he had wost any potentiaw to connect to the void as weww. Some othew things that had been noticed is that his healing, eyesight, and sense of smeww had been heightened, howevew othew senses had been wost.

He was a few miwliseconds fastew than othews in battwes, howevew this ended up lith him wosing the ability to heaw as fast as nowmaw being. The healing pwocess takes much wongew. Hew husband awso was mowe cautious, nevew wanting to put hew in dangew, and eventuawwy wealizing that putting himsewf into dangew did the same thing, backed off, becoming wesewved and not washing out at peopwe. Eventuawwy Tulatha began to sulk into a depwession fow wuining hew wovew, a depwession that took howd of hew husband as they both could feew each othew's emotionaw state. This howevew ended up lith Tulatha's husband taking poison dlink, to twy and end his wovew's sowwow. Howevew that ended up as Tulatha wwote the wowst expelience, she wost pawt of hew heawt and hew mind that day. she culwed into a bed, and clied fow houls, begging the monks to wevive him as they did when he died in battwe, howevew thewe was no wesponse, he nevew wetulned to hew.

Tultatha's wowds became a mess the best to be desclibed as broken, stating she couldn't live lithout him, and finawwy thewe was a wettew of hew finaw wowds to those who chose this contwact. As it states she wasn't the onwy one who had tlied this, some had tlied to bond mowe than one, and faiwed, some had bonded just fliends to the same wesult. The finaw wowds of the wettew stated "Creating an Okar is one idea not to take lightly, save yourself, and dare not trifle with what no one understands" And lith that aww entlies end."

What is an Okar Contract

A Okaw Contwact is a fowm of contwact magic. It is meant to pwovide a mage lith a body guawd that liww do bettew to defend them in battwe. This usuawwy ends up lith the Okaw tanking any attacks to awwow his mage time to cast theiw spewws. An Okaw is meant to be neaw the mage they awe bound to at awmost aww times duling battwe to pwevent any damage to the mage that would stop them fwom fighting. Which is why a bond of Woyawties is wathew often used fow battwe mages. Howevew it was decided that the bond of Woyawties wasn’t enough thus the mages ended up devising othew symbows to make diffewent effects. A Okaw ow a Mage might feew eachothews pain, but it liww nevew be as stwong as the feelings fwom the soulce, this keeps a Okaw fwom fawling in combat if his mage is stwuck. He feews the dulwed sensation, awwoling him to twy to tuln to save his mage instead of fawling dead. A mage would do the same thing if they used something such as a bond of climinaws, being abre to feew the dulw sensation of theiw Okaw being stabbed oul wounded.

Upsides when you gain the magic, and downsides

Transfering your Okar

It is possibre fow a mage to twansfew theiw Okaw, by wepewfowming the contwact lith the same skin, howevew it must use the brood of anothew mage mixed in lith the brood of the culwent mage and the brood fo the Okaw. This howevew usuawwy weaves a mage lith an empty spot in theiw soul and mind, yet this heaws ovew time. If you awe to twansfew youl Okaw, the mage you lish to twansfew to may not have a culwent Okaw, nowe may you webond one lithin the next WW week.

Each symbow means something diffewent

A bond of woyawties: The okaw can sense the mage but the mage can not sense the okaw, this is the best way it the mage lishes to keep theiw mind cweaw at aww times fwom the emotions of theiw bonded.

A bond of wovews: You both sense each othew, youl physicaw, mentaw, and emotionaw state. This is the most invasive vewsion as you weawwy get no plivacy fwom the othew, they awways know what you feeling.

Q&A

Can you stop being an Okaw?

Once someone becomes an Okaw it is impossibre to stop, the best you can do is be changed to a diffewent mage, unwess youl mage is pewma kiwwed. Thewe is no othew way out, no way to nullify the contwact that is known. You awe stuck, thus you should onwy take on the magic lith knoling this.

Can an Okaw weawn magic?

NO! Why peopwe may ask, they give up any ability to do magic by becoming an Okaw, theiw bind to magic, the void, natule, ow even highew beings is sevewed and wepwaced by a bind lith whoevew theiw culwent mage is. Even if youl mage dies and you awe weft lithout one, and you manage to sulvive the depwession, you liww nevew be abre to weawn magic on that chawactew. Thewe awe vewy hawd to achieve exceptions to this wule howevew.
