:''The skill of Concoctions has been replaced with the skills of [[Harvesting]] and [[Remedies]].''
Elementalism is a relatively straightforward skill. By opening channels to four of the five Elemental realms (Magi do not use the Spirit realm), practitioners can cast a wide variety of elementally-based offensive and defensive spells. The effects of these spells might range from summoning an efreeti to calling down the might of Vastar, the Skylord, in the Stormhammer, to bringing forth fog or hail. Elementalism used to be practised by the [[Sylvan]] class as well, but was abandoned in 680 AF when they syncronised their abilities with a great storm and it was replaced with the skill of [[Propagation]].


Concoctions enabled forestal [[adventurers]] to brew healing [[:category:elixirs|elixirs]] and [[:category:salves|salves]] from a variety of medicinal [[:category:herbs|herbs]]. Only concoctionists used to be able to harvest herbs, provided the corresponding [[:Category:Abilities|ability]] in [[Groves]] or [[Woodlore]] had been learned. However, the implementation of the [[Harvesting]] and [[Remedies]] [[trade skills]] opened up the ability to harvest herbs and brew medicinal cures to all classes, and the Concoctions skill ceased to be.
The skill of '''Elementalism''' is available to members [[Magi]] [[class]], along with [[Crystalism]] and [[Artificing]].


The skill of '''Concoctions''' was available to the three forestal classes: [[Druid]], [[Sentinels]] and [[Sylvan]]. With the advent of trade skills Concoctions was split into [[Harvesting]] and [[Remedies]]. Druids, Sentinels and Sylvans gained the new skills of [[Reclamation]], [[Skirmishing]] and [[Weatherweaving]] respectively.

  |detail=Prickly ash is a small, squat tree that grows in the swamps. Its bark may be consumed to restore many sanity-imperiling afflictions, like dementia and confusion.
  |detail=Certain Elemental Spells cause a form of resonance with the Elemental Planes upon which they draw(*). As your resonance grows, the last target of the spell you cast to cause that increase in resonance will suffer various affects, listed below. Resonance is fleeting and will fade over time.<br><br>Air:<br>-Minor resonance: gives asthma.<br>-Moderate resonance: gives sensitivity.<br>-Major resonance: gives healthleech.<br>Earth:<br>-Minor resonance: breaks a random limb (it will always pick an unbroken limb).<br>-Moderate resonance: stuns the target for a short time and gives paralysis.<br>-Major resonance: gives cracked ribs (it does not increase the number of cracked ribs a target has - only ever gives the base affliction).<br>Fire:<br>-Minor resonance: gives an affect which prevents the raising of the temperance defence (does not strip this defence, however).<br>-Moderate resonance: strips the temperance defence. If this defence is already stripped, sets the target ablaze and deals some damage.<br>-Major resonance: gives the blistered affliction. If they're already blistered, gives a stack of the ablaze affliction.<br>Water:<br>-Minor resonance: gives the frostbite affliction. If it is already present, does some damage.<br>-Moderate resonance: gives the stuttering affliction and deals some cold damage.<br>-Major resonance: gives the anorexia affliction.<br><br>* These are listed under AB ELEMENTALISM.<br>** Note that resonance is only generated if your spell is targeted against an adventurer who is directly within your location when it resolves (i.e. ranged firelash will not generate resonance, but in room will).<br>*** You can set your verbosity for seeing resonance messages to none, low or high. The default is low.

Revision as of 20:36, 1 January 2024

Elementalism is a relatively straightforward skill. By opening channels to four of the five Elemental realms (Magi do not use the Spirit realm), practitioners can cast a wide variety of elementally-based offensive and defensive spells. The effects of these spells might range from summoning an efreeti to calling down the might of Vastar, the Skylord, in the Stormhammer, to bringing forth fog or hail. Elementalism used to be practised by the Sylvan class as well, but was abandoned in 680 AF when they syncronised their abilities with a great storm and it was replaced with the skill of Propagation.

The skill of Elementalism is available to members Magi class, along with Crystalism and Artificing.

Abilities in Elementalism

Channel Open conduits to the Elemental Realms.

Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Self
Cooldown: 1.50 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Using this ability, you may open a channel to one of the four basic elemental realms. Keeping these channels open has a cost in willpower. SEVER

AIR/WATER/EARTH/FIRE will close that channel. CHANNELS will list what channels you have open.

Note: {{{note}}}
Light Light up your surroundings.
Syntax: CAST LIGHT
Required: 50 mana
Channels: Fire
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Room
Cooldown: 3.00 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}

Note: {{{note}}}
Fortification Protect your open channels from attack.
Syntax: FORTIFY <channel>
FORTIFY ALL
Required: 100 mana
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Self
Cooldown: 1.00 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Using this ability will provide you protection against abilities that may attack your open elemental channels. These abilities will first have to attack your fortification before destroying your channel. However, fortify does have a regular willpower cost associated with it.

If you choose to fortify all, the mana and eq costs will be the cost of fortifying a single channel multiplied by the number of channels you have open.

Note: {{{note}}}
Scry Locate another adventurer.
Syntax: CAST SCRY AT <target>
Required: 30 mana
Channels: Water
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}

Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Adventurers
Cooldown: 1.00 seconds of equilibrium

Note: {{{note}}}
Resonance The Elemental Planes are at your fingertips.
Syntax: RESONANCE
RESONANCE VERBOSITY <NONE
Required:
Channels:
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against:
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Certain Elemental Spells cause a form of resonance with the Elemental Planes upon which they draw(*). As your resonance grows, the last target of the spell you cast to cause that increase in resonance will suffer various affects, listed below. Resonance is fleeting and will fade over time.

Air:
-Minor resonance: gives asthma.
-Moderate resonance: gives sensitivity.
-Major resonance: gives healthleech.
Earth:
-Minor resonance: breaks a random limb (it will always pick an unbroken limb).
-Moderate resonance: stuns the target for a short time and gives paralysis.
-Major resonance: gives cracked ribs (it does not increase the number of cracked ribs a target has - only ever gives the base affliction).
Fire:
-Minor resonance: gives an affect which prevents the raising of the temperance defence (does not strip this defence, however).
-Moderate resonance: strips the temperance defence. If this defence is already stripped, sets the target ablaze and deals some damage.
-Major resonance: gives the blistered affliction. If they're already blistered, gives a stack of the ablaze affliction.
Water:
-Minor resonance: gives the frostbite affliction. If it is already present, does some damage.
-Moderate resonance: gives the stuttering affliction and deals some cold damage.
-Major resonance: gives the anorexia affliction.

* These are listed under AB ELEMENTALISM.
** Note that resonance is only generated if your spell is targeted against an adventurer who is directly within your location when it resolves (i.e. ranged firelash will not generate resonance, but in room will).
*** You can set your verbosity for seeing resonance messages to none, low or high. The default is low.
Note: {{{note}}}
Erode Destroy the defences of your opponent.
Syntax: CAST ERODE AT <target> [defence]
Required: 75 mana
Channels: Air, Earth, Fire and Water
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Adventurers and denizens
Cooldown: 2.50 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: With the destructive fury of all the elements at your command, you may destroy a defence on an opponent. This spell will strip the first defence it does not find from the below list, and if none are present strip any random defence. You may also specify one of the listed defences and target that on in particular:
Shield, chargeshield, insulation, and temperance.
* Note that this spell is special in that while it will not increase resonance, it will reset the decay of all elemental resonance you presently have accumulated.
Note: {{{note}}}
Suppression Destroy the sustaining partita harmonic.
Syntax: CAST SUPPRESSION
Required: 200 mana
Channels: Air and Earth
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Room
Cooldown: 4.00 seconds of equilibrium
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Before using a cube sigil to destroy bardic harmonics you may need to first suppress the partita harmonic that protects the other harmonics from the cube sigil. This ability will do just that.
Note: {{{note}}}
Binding The magic of channel binding.
Syntax: BIND <channel>/ALL

Works against:

Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: Like fortification, binding provides protection against losing your channels due to others attacking them. If a channel that is unfortified is attacked, binding will protect that channel a large percentage of the time. It has a willpower loss associated with it, however.
If you choose to BIND ALL, the mana and equilibrium costs will be what it costs for a single channel binding, multiplied by however many channels you have open.
Note: {{{note}}}

Additionally, they will become very vulnerable to all forms of elemental and magical damage coming from your arcane personage, and your magic will bypass any shield or prismatic barrier they may attempt to raise(*).
