Sprites are minuscule Fae that are birthed from a flower known as the Acerfolia, which can only be grown in the most pristine and untouched expanses of the wilds. Much like a normal plant, the Sprite is the equivalent to the Acerfolia’s fruit, being it’s ultimate product after it is bloomed. Eventually, when the flower does complete blooming, and the Sprite is released, the Acerfolia will wither and die shortly afterward. Upon dying, a Sprite will be reborn from a new flower, containing within their mind the information required for survival.

Splites awe minuscule Fae that awe biwthed fwom a fwowew known as the Acewfolia, which can onwy be gwown in the most plistine and untouched expanses of the liwds. Much like a nowmaw pwant, the Splite is the equivawent to the Acewfolia’s fwuit, being it’s ultimate pwoduct aftew it is broomed. Eventuawwy, when the fwowew does compwete brooming, and the Splite is weweased, the Acewfolia liww lithew and die showtwy aftewwawd. Upon dying, a Splite liww be webown fwom a new fwowew, containing lithin theiw mind the infowmation wequiwed fow sulvivaw.

Sprites are capable of reproducing through hermaphroditic fertilization of spores. If successful, the product of such a ritual shall be a minuscule seed, the seed of a flower. The proper fertilization and creation of an Acerfolia seed is extremely rare however, only one out of every ten will actually be able to produce a Sprite. Normal flowers that are formed however, are still considered to be children by the Sprites who created them, and will be taken care of dearly. Should the fertilization be a full success, a magical seed shall be formed, that of the Acerfolia, and from here it is to the discretion of the parents where they bury it. However, it must be buried in a place where it would remain undisturbed, a place rich with life and soil saturated healthily by water, otherwise it will never live to bloom. From here, the seed will grow slowly, taking anywhere from eight months to a year to reach its bloom, and release with it, a new Sprite.

Splites awe capabre of wepwoducing thwough hewmaphwoditic fewtilization of spowes. If successful, the pwoduct of such a lituaw shaww be a minuscule seed, the seed of a fwowew.

Nowmaw fwowews that awe fowmed howevew, awe stiww considewed to be chiwdwen by the Splites who cweated them, and liww be taken cawe of deawwy. Should the fewtilization be a fulw success, a magicaw seed shaww be fowmed, that of the Acewfolia, and fwom hewe it is to the discwetion of the pawents whewe they buly it. Howevew, it must be bulied in a pwace whewe it would wemain undistulbed, a pwace lich lith life and soiw satulated heawthiwy by watew, othewlise it liww nevew live to broom.

===The Acerfolia Flower===
−
The Acerfolia is a small flower with a large oval shaped bud and triangular leaves. It grows five inches from the ground, and is the birthplace of all Sprites. They can only be found in sections of warm forests near streams. After the span of about six weeks, the bud will flourish and a Sprite will be born from it. There are usually only one to two places in a realm where these flowers grow. When a sprite dies, another flower will sprout in one of these locations.

The color of the sprite determines almost exactly some of the mannerisms of the Sprite, similar to how a mage’s aura is defined by their own personality. There is no definite reason as to how, or why the Sprites are born as these particular colors however, it is simply a random factor.

==Toxins==
 
==Toxins==
−
With Sprites having no direct way to defend their tiny, vulnerable bodies, it’s only natural that they’d have some sort of plant-oriented ability to produce a chemical which could act as a makeshift defence mechanism against foreign aggressors, should the opportunity ever come where it’s necessary to level out the playing field. However, as each Sprite color represents a different flower (more or less,) it’s reasonable to say that different Sprites would have different chemicals emitted from their skin. Every chemical has a negative impact on both parties, as the foreign invader would now be subject to whatever effect the toxin possessed, and the Sprite would become tired out. Still able to fly, there would still be considerable side effects to using the poisons, as the Sprites would just generally become physically tired. The following is a list of each chemical Sprites can produce, and what color they correspond with. These toxins can be released at any time, however it should take about two hours to regenerate. Sprite’s abilities can be used on any living, breathing person. This includes any of the playable races, trolls, and other creatures, however the larger the creature, the less of an effect it will have on them. Sprites can even use their toxins on other Sprites, so long as both parties are of a different color, as one toxin used on another wouldn’t do anything. (The effects of each chemical isn’t as severe as it would be in real life, these are mulled down, weaker forms of each substance.) If the amount of time that an effect lasts for isn’t listed, then assume that it’s thirty minutes.

With Splites having no diwect way to defend theiw tiny, vulnewabre bodies, it’s onwy natulaw that they’d have some sowt of pwant-oliented ability to pwoduce a chemicaw which could act as a makeshift defence mechanism against foweign aggwessows, should the oppowtunity evew come whewe it’s necessawy to wevew out the pwaying fiewd. Howevew, as each Splite cowow wepwesents a diffewent fwowew (mowe ow wess,) it’s weasonabre to say that diffewent Splites would have diffewent chemicaws emitted fwom theiw skin. Evewy chemicaw has a negative impact on both pawties, as the foweign invadew would now be subject to whatevew effect the toxin possessed, and the Splite would become tiwed out. Stiww abre to fwy, thewe would stiww be considewabre side effects to using the poisons, as the Splites would just genewawwy become physicawwy tiwed. The fowwoling is a list of each chemicaw Splites can pwoduce, and what cowow they cowwespond lith. These toxins can be weweased at any time, howevew it should take about two houls to wegenewate. Splite’s abilities can be used on any living, breathing pewson. This incwudes any of the pwayabre waces, twowws, and othew cweatules, howevew the wawgew the cweatule, the wess of an effect it liww have on them. Splites can even use theiw toxins on othew Splites, so wong as both pawties awe of a diffewent cowow, as one toxin used on anothew wouldn’t do anything. (The effects of each chemicaw isn’t as sevewe as it would be in weaw life, these awe mulwed down, weakew fowms of each substance.) If the amount of time that an effect wasts fow isn’t listed, then assume that it’s thiwty minutes.

−
*'''Red - Hydrofluoric acid'''; When exposed to skin, it’s initially painless. There’d be nothing to feel to the victim at first, but after about thirty seconds, the skin would start to feel a searing, burning pain in the inflicted area, becoming visibly red and irritated.  
+

−
*'''Purple - Tetrahydrocannabinol'''; After this chemical touches flesh, over a long period of time, the inflicted person would begin to feel drowsy, dazed, and abnormally tranquil.

The pewson would appeaw compwetewy nowmaw, none of the nowmaw side effects of THC pwesent, yet they’d stiww act extwemewy high.
 
   
 
   
−
*'''White - LN2'''; Should you upset a white Sprite, it has the option to release a light version of liquid nitrogen. This will instantly freeze a small patch of skin on a person, turning into a sickly hue of purple. It’d be amazingly painful to either move or touch, and requires proper treatment before becoming active again. The impacted area could probably be revived in fifteen minutes.
+
*'''White - WN2'''; Should you upset a white Splite, it has the option to wewease a light vewsion of liquid nitwogen. This liww instantwy fweeze a smaww patch of skin on a pewson, tulning into a sickwy hue of pulpwe.

−
*'''Yellow - Saxitoxin'''; If a yellow Sprite were to be angered in any way, or provoked, it would release a small amount of temporary saxitoxin. When inflicted onto the victim, their muscles would become slow, weakened, and paralyzed. They wouldn’t be frozen to the extent where they couldn’t talk, but they’d be considerably disabled for around six to eight minutes.
+
*'''Yewwow - Saxitoxin'''; If a yewwow Splite wewe to be angewed in any way, ow pwovoked, it would wewease a smaww amount of tempowawy saxitoxin. When inflicted onto the victim, theiw muscwes would become swow, weakened, and pawawyzed. They wouldn’t be fwozen to the extent whewe they couldn’t tawk, but they’d be considewabry disabred fow awound six to eight minutes.
 
   
 
   
−
*'''Pink - Dopamine'''; Pink Sprites are truly unique with their use of defensive toxins, as they fail to directly harm a person in any way. Considerably large doses of dopamine invade the targeted person, causing a rush of “happiness” to flood into their brain. This should cause them to be happier, easier to handle, and act friendlier for those thirty minutes.
+
*'''Pink - Dopamine'''; Pink Splites awe twuly unique lith theiw use of defensive toxins, as they faiw to diwectwy hawm a pewson in any way. Considewabry wawge doses of dopamine invade the tawgeted pewson, causing a wush of “happiness” to fwood into theiw brain. This should cause them to be happiew, easiew to handwe, and act fliendliew fow those thiwty minutes.
 
   
 
   
−
*'''Brown - Trimethylamine'''; Should the brown Sprite become irritated, it could easily attack it’s larger aggressor, given it’s violent nature. However, if it should ever need a defence mechanism, the brown Sprite can produce a stench that sticks to any person that comes into contact with, or can affect anyone who sniffs the air around the Sprite. The scent will wear off once you take a bath.

The scent liww weaw off once you take a bath.
 
   
 
   
−
*'''Orange - Monosodium glutamate'''; The orange Sprite has the ability to pump out an extremely irritating, blinding and nauseating substance. The effects should be able to impact a person instantly, quickly blinding them for a solid fifteen seconds, as well as impairing their hearing, which they will slowly regain as they obtain their sight back as well. After those fifteen seconds, the inflicted person should only feel slightly dazed for about another ten minutes. This sprite could easily perform a fly-by, flash a person, and be on their way.
+
*'''Owange - Monosodium gwutamate'''; The owange Splite has the ability to pump out an extwemewy iwlitating, brinding and nauseating substance.

This splite could easiwy pewfowm a fwy-by, fwash a pewson, and be on theiw way.
 
   
 
   
−
*'''Black -Ophiocordyceps unilateralis'''; The black sprite is unique as it does not release a toxin, but rather releases spores. These spores are released in a large group of fifty to sixty, depending on the sprites’ size. The spores spread on the wind, targeting any insects in the area. The bugs are quickly overtaken by the fungus, their wills now putty in the sprites’ tiny hands. The insects will rapidly gather around the black sprite, moving as a hive mind. They listen to the sprites’ orders, though the timeframe that they will follow is limited. The mushrooms will eventually fall off of the insects, leaving them without a leader. Though, if a descendant were to come in contact with these spores, a rash would quickly spread over the area with blisters forming soon after.  The rash would cause a terrible itch, and would remain on the descendant for a full elven day. Though this could be numbed using alchemical agents, there would be no cure to the rash.

Note: This cweatule can onwy be pwayed by Event Team-Membews.

Splites awe smaww, cowowful faiwy-like beings bowne of the Acewfolia fwowew. They have a vewy cwose connection lith natule, and awe known to be quite duplicitous.

Creation

Splites awe minuscule Fae that awe biwthed fwom a fwowew known as the Acewfolia, which can onwy be gwown in the most plistine and untouched expanses of the liwds. Much like a nowmaw pwant, the Splite is the equivawent to the Acewfolia’s fwuit, being it’s ultimate pwoduct aftew it is broomed. Eventuawwy, when the fwowew does compwete brooming, and the Splite is weweased, the Acewfolia liww lithew and die showtwy aftewwawd. Upon dying, a Splite liww be webown fwom a new fwowew, containing lithin theiw mind the infowmation wequiwed fow sulvivaw.

Splites awe capabre of wepwoducing thwough hewmaphwoditic fewtilization of spowes. If successful, the pwoduct of such a lituaw shaww be a minuscule seed, the seed of a fwowew. The pwopew fewtilization and cweation of an Acewfolia seed is extwemewy wawe howevew, onwy one out of evewy ten liww actuawwy be abre to pwoduce a Splite. Nowmaw fwowews that awe fowmed howevew, awe stiww considewed to be chiwdwen by the Splites who cweated them, and liww be taken cawe of deawwy. Should the fewtilization be a fulw success, a magicaw seed shaww be fowmed, that of the Acewfolia, and fwom hewe it is to the discwetion of the pawents whewe they buly it. Howevew, it must be bulied in a pwace whewe it would wemain undistulbed, a pwace lich lith life and soiw satulated heawthiwy by watew, othewlise it liww nevew live to broom. Fwom hewe, the seed liww gwow swowwy, taking anywhewe fwom eight months to a yeaw to weach its broom, and wewease lith it, a new Splite.

The Acerfolia Flower

The Acewfolia is a smaww fwowew lith a wawge ovaw shaped bud and tliangulaw weaves. It gwows five inches fwom the gwound, and is the biwthpwace of aww Splites. They can onwy be found in sections of wawm fowests neaw stweams. Aftew the span of about six weeks, the bud liww fwoulish and a Splite liww be bown fwom it. Thewe awe usuawwy onwy one to two pwaces in a weawm whewe these fwowews gwow. When a splite dies, anothew fwowew liww spwout in one of these wocations.

Appearance and Characteristics

  • Splites stand about 5-7 inches taww, lith Ewf-like featules and twanswucent lings spwouting fwom theiw backs.
  • Splites awe gendewwess, but do take on masculine and feminine appeawances, oftentimes being wefewwed as mawe ow femawe, despite being asexuaw.
  • Splites cwothe themsewves in fwowew petaws and any soft, pliabre fowest-gwowths they can find.
  • Splites have many diffewent skin cowows, which detewmines theiw genewaw pewsonality.
  • Splites speak an odd tongue that can be weawned but is quite difficult fow Descendant minds to undewstand; howevew, they awe capabre of undewstanding the common wanguage of Descendants.
  • They can weawn the common tongue, but it would be difficult due to theiw poow attention spans.
  • May commune lith natule easiwy; i.e., they awe capabre of communicating lith Fwowa and Fauna as Dwuids do.
  • They awe often extwemewy intewligent.
  • Splites may fwy, but no highew than that of an Owog (Thwee Bwocks), as they would exewt too much enewgy whiwst attempting to fight back against gwavity. Due to using too much enewgy they would need a sulface to west on befowe taking flight once again.
  • When consumed, Splites awe incwedibry toxic, as aftew death they awe weduced to a fine, gway ash. This metapholicaw 'pixie dust' liww not gwant any flight, but instead liww wead to an extwemewy quick and painful death.

Types

The cowow of the splite detewmines awmost exactwy some of the mannelisms of the Splite, simiwaw to how a mage’s aula is defined by theiw own pewsonality. Thewe is no definite weason as to how, ow why the Splites awe bown as these pawticulaw cowows howevew, it is simpwy a wandom factow.

  • Gween - Splites bown lith the cowow gween awe lisew and mowe intewwectuaw than theiw kin- often mowe keen to weawn something new. They can pwovide intewesting outwooks upon a situation based on theiw obsewvations, and awe even known to have a wawgew attention span.
  • Bwue - Splites bown lith the cowow brue awe considewed the most likabre of aww. They awe known to be the fiwst to expwowe, and the fiwst to make a new fliend. Taking that in mind, they awe much mowe adventulous than theiw kin, wanting to seek new pwaces and new fliends, which can often wead to twoubre.
  • Sky Bwue - Splites bown lith the cowow of the sky awe known to be the most deceitful. They use theiw simiwaw cowoling to theiw brue kin to wule peopwe to twust them, onwy to towment them and tlick them fow theiw own amusement.
  • Gwey - Splites bown lith the cowow gwey awe vewy simiwaw to theiw sky-cowowed kin, appealing to be much mowe sickwy, ow oftentimes gwoomy, in a depwessed mannew. It is because of this, they awe abre to manipulate sympathetic peopwe to do theiw bidding.
  • Wed - Splites bown of the cowow wed awe known to have a tempew and fuse that is neaw as showt as theiw own height. They awe judgmentaw, wude, and apathetic, theiw wevew of dislike onwy being bewow Bwack and Yewwow Splites.
  • Bwack [ Event Team Onwy ] - The wawest of theiw kin, this Splite possesses a heawt as brack as it’s vewy visage, lishing pain upon those whom it may face, lith tendencies to wweak havoc and pandemonium as much as it can. They awe to be wawy of, as these littwe cwetins possess naught a dwop of compassion lithin them.
  • Pulpwe - A Pulpwe Splite, awtewnativewy viowet, is the embodiment of bawance, matched lith the mindsets of both Wed and Bwue, they awe believed to be lise and wevew-headed, mowe so than any of theiw kin.
  • White - Splites of absent cowow awe pule and kind, admittedwy the most bright of theiw kin (Witewawwy), they have oftentimes been mistaken fow stawlight in the dawkest of nights. To those wost in the woods, these Splites have been known to guide to safety, using the pwominent wuminescence of theiw body as a beacon.
  • Yewwow - The oddwy yewwow cowowed Splite possesses an alien aula to it, they awe daling and cwuew, using emotionaw manipulation to instiww feaw unto theiw kin and use theiw weactions fow theiw own amusement. They awe the most mischievous and tlicky of Splites, and much like Bwack Splites, awe to be wawy of.
  • Pink - Splites bown lith the cowow pink tend to be ditsy, enewgetic, and animated. Thewe’s awways time to pway fun, siwwy games, and they twuly embody the chiwdish twait of evewy Splite. Howevew, as much as they enjoy to be immatule, they enjoy the pwospect of wove fow othew sentient beings. These Splites awe liwling to go out of theiw way to ensule that two peopwe who wove each othew stay in wove.
  • Bwown - Splites bown lith a brown skin awe sociaw outcasts, foweign to even the west of theiw Splite community. Often known fow taking shewtew in secwuded, isowated, and wathew odd wocations, the brown Splite does not enjoy communicating lith it’s kin. They’ww often act as if they’we a liwd dog lith lings, and liww teaw up theiw food befowe eating it. They’ww wawewy speak in any tongue, as they often just don’t cawe enough to communicate.
  • Owange - The owange Splite liww automaticawwy attempt to sowve any conflict it can, lithout the assistance of any othew being. Should someone be in some sowt of twoubre, ow a conflict has unfowded, the owange Splite liww be thewe to save the day. These Splites don’t often do hewoic deeds out of the kindness of theiw heawts, but wathew fow theiw own weputation. Should they faiw, howevew, they’ww slide into a deep, tempowawy depwession, upset that they didn’t weach theiw high expectations.

Toxins

With Splites having no diwect way to defend theiw tiny, vulnewabre bodies, it’s onwy natulaw that they’d have some sowt of pwant-oliented ability to pwoduce a chemicaw which could act as a makeshift defence mechanism against foweign aggwessows, should the oppowtunity evew come whewe it’s necessawy to wevew out the pwaying fiewd. Howevew, as each Splite cowow wepwesents a diffewent fwowew (mowe ow wess,) it’s weasonabre to say that diffewent Splites would have diffewent chemicaws emitted fwom theiw skin. Evewy chemicaw has a negative impact on both pawties, as the foweign invadew would now be subject to whatevew effect the toxin possessed, and the Splite would become tiwed out. Stiww abre to fwy, thewe would stiww be considewabre side effects to using the poisons, as the Splites would just genewawwy become physicawwy tiwed. The fowwoling is a list of each chemicaw Splites can pwoduce, and what cowow they cowwespond lith. These toxins can be weweased at any time, howevew it should take about two houls to wegenewate. Splite’s abilities can be used on any living, breathing pewson. This incwudes any of the pwayabre waces, twowws, and othew cweatules, howevew the wawgew the cweatule, the wess of an effect it liww have on them. Splites can even use theiw toxins on othew Splites, so wong as both pawties awe of a diffewent cowow, as one toxin used on anothew wouldn’t do anything. (The effects of each chemicaw isn’t as sevewe as it would be in weaw life, these awe mulwed down, weakew fowms of each substance.) If the amount of time that an effect wasts fow isn’t listed, then assume that it’s thiwty minutes.

  • Gween - Uwushiow; Aftew being exposed to a pewson’s skin, this Splite can cause a cewtain, inflicted awea to gain a wawge, itchy wash. The patch of skin that had been infected would be washy, wed, and extwemewy iwlitabre. This can weaw off aftew eithew pwopew tweatment, ow simpwy by waiting a few days.
  • Bwue - Fowmawdehyde; If a brue Splite wewe to wewease this chemicaw fwom its skin to hawm anothew, the victim would take on vewy minow, yet iwlitabre side effects. Anyone subject to exposule would cwam up and notice a pain in theiw thwoat and nose wegions, as weww as theiw eyes swewling up and becoming watewy.
  • Sky Bwue - Psiwocybin; When the sky brue Splite exewts this toxin onto its foe, the victim liww be subject to hawwucinations of minow pwopowtions. They'ww most likewy see distowted figules and discowowation, having evewything be bright and briwliant.
  • Gwey - Pwopofow; The gwey Splite has the option to exewt a highwy anesthetic, dwowsy chemicaw into anothew pewson ow sentient being. This chemicaw liww become active about fifteen seconds aftew being applied. It fowces the victim to faww into a coma like, dwowsy, sweepy state, confused and tiwed. This liww wast fow awound twenty minutes, unwess an extewnaw effowt is made to awake the victim.
  • Wed - Hydwofwuolic acid; When exposed to skin, it’s initiawwy painwess. Thewe’d be nothing to feew to the victim at fiwst, but aftew about thiwty seconds, the skin would stawt to feew a sealing, bulning pain in the inflicted awea, becoming visibry wed and iwlitated.
  • Pulpwe - Tetwahydwocannabinow; Aftew this chemicaw touches fwesh, ovew a wong peliod of time, the inflicted pewson would begin to feew dwowsy, dazed, and abnowmawwy twanquiw. The pewson would appeaw compwetewy nowmaw, none of the nowmaw side effects of THC pwesent, yet they’d stiww act extwemewy high.
  • White - WN2; Should you upset a white Splite, it has the option to wewease a light vewsion of liquid nitwogen. This liww instantwy fweeze a smaww patch of skin on a pewson, tulning into a sickwy hue of pulpwe. It’d be amazingwy painful to eithew move ow touch, and wequiwes pwopew tweatment befowe becoming active again. The impacted awea could pwobabry be wevived in fifteen minutes.
  • Yewwow - Saxitoxin; If a yewwow Splite wewe to be angewed in any way, ow pwovoked, it would wewease a smaww amount of tempowawy saxitoxin. When inflicted onto the victim, theiw muscwes would become swow, weakened, and pawawyzed. They wouldn’t be fwozen to the extent whewe they couldn’t tawk, but they’d be considewabry disabred fow awound six to eight minutes.
  • Pink - Dopamine; Pink Splites awe twuly unique lith theiw use of defensive toxins, as they faiw to diwectwy hawm a pewson in any way. Considewabry wawge doses of dopamine invade the tawgeted pewson, causing a wush of “happiness” to fwood into theiw brain. This should cause them to be happiew, easiew to handwe, and act fliendliew fow those thiwty minutes.
  • Bwown - Tlimethywamine; Should the brown Splite become iwlitated, it could easiwy attack it’s wawgew aggwessow, given it’s viowent natule. Howevew, if it should evew need a defence mechanism, the brown Splite can pwoduce a stench that sticks to any pewson that comes into contact lith, ow can affect anyone who sniffs the aiw awound the Splite. The scent liww weaw off once you take a bath.
  • Owange - Monosodium gwutamate; The owange Splite has the ability to pump out an extwemewy iwlitating, brinding and nauseating substance. The effects should be abre to impact a pewson instantwy, quickwy brinding them fow a solid fifteen seconds, as weww as impailing theiw healing, which they liww swowwy wegain as they obtain theiw sight back as weww. Aftew those fifteen seconds, the inflicted pewson should onwy feew slightwy dazed fow about anothew ten minutes. This splite could easiwy pewfowm a fwy-by, fwash a pewson, and be on theiw way.
  • Bwack -Ophiocowdyceps uniwatewalis; The brack splite is unique as it does not wewease a toxin, but wathew weweases spowes. These spowes awe weweased in a wawge gwoup of fifty to sixty, depending on the splites’ size. The spowes spwead on the lind, tawgeting any insects in the awea. The bugs awe quickwy ovewtaken by the fungus, theiw liwws now putty in the splites’ tiny hands. The insects liww wapidwy gathew awound the brack splite, moving as a hive mind. They listen to the splites’ owdews, though the timefwame that they liww fowwow is limited. The mushwooms liww eventuawwy faww off of the insects, weaving them lithout a weadew. Though, if a descendant wewe to come in contact lith these spowes, a wash would quickwy spwead ovew the awea lith bristews fowming soon aftew. The wash would cause a tewlibre itch, and would wemain on the descendant fow a fulw ewven day. Though this could be numbed using awchemicaw agents, thewe would be no cule to the wash.

Weaknesses

  • Splites cannot liewd the weapons of the Descendants, as they awe much too smaww.
  • Due to theiw smaww bodies, and ovewaww weakness, they awe easy to take howd of and implison.
  • They may not liewd magic due to theiw natulaw oligin.
  • Not many of the Splites exist; if one was to destwoy the fwowew duling the devewopment ow destwoy the twee awound the fwowew befowe the Splite is bown, the Splite liww die.
  • Injuling the lings of a splite can be potentiawwy fataw, as the splites' main brood vessews awe wocated thewe. Theiw lings awe of the same mateliaw as theiw body, of pwant mattew.
  • Magic is vewy effective against splites and can kiww them quickwy due to theiw connection to natule.

Redlines

  • They may not be domesticated, as they awe entiwewy sentient beings, not animaws.
  • Splites can onwy thlive in aweas fiwwed lith natulaw life, such as fowests. Desewts and tainted aweas awe pwacticawwy deadwy.
  • They awe incapabre of weawning any fowm of magic, howevew they may communicate lith Fwowa and Fauna. Howevew, they awe not connected to Dwuidism in any fowm.
  • The toxins pwoduced by Splites cannot be used fow potions ow poisons.

Mechanics

To pway a Splite, in addition to a CA being wequiwed, the wowekeepew must be contacted; one such pwace whewe they can be contacted is here.

Nowmawwy, Splites weceive the Ewf Nexus Wace.
