Aethereal pathways are a Warrior Mage ability that manipulate targeted magic spells in various ways.

Syntax

PATHWAY LIST - Lists out which Aethereal Pathway abilities you know
PATHWAY CHECK - Displays which pathway ability you currently have active. PATHWAY STOP - Ends whichever Pathway ability you may be using.
PATHWAY SENSE - Lets you sense your charge level.

Elemental charge

Your ability to manipulate pathways is based on your elemental charge. Similar in concept to a mana pool, this pool is used only for manipulating pathways. Your charge drains constantly as long as a pathway is active; thus, you don't want to keep a pathway focused unless you are actually casting spells with it, and should stop the pathway when you take a break from casting.

Before you can manipulate pathways, you must ALIGN to an element and build charge. Charge can be built with SUMMON ADMITTANCE or by casting spells of your aligned element. Manipulating pathways teaches the Summoning skill. You can see if you are currently focusing on a path by typing PATH CHECK. You can check the status of your pool with PATH SENSE.

Elemental charge levels

2. A small charge lingers within your body, just above the threshold of perception.
3. A small charge lingers within your body.
4. A charge dances through your body.
5. A charge dances just below the threshold of discomfort.
6. A charge circulates through your body, causing a low hum to vibrate through your bones.
7. Elemental essence floats freely within your body, leaving little untouched.
8. Elemental essence has infused every inch of your body. While you could contain more, you'd do so at the risk of your health.
9. Extraplanar power crackles within your body, leaving you feeling mildly feverish.
10. Extraplanar power crackles within your body, leaving you feeling acutely ill.
11. Your body sings and crackles with a barely contained charge, destroying what little cenesthesia you had left.
12. You have reached the limits of your body's capacity to store a charge. The laws of the Elemental Plane of [Element] scream demands upon your physiology, threatening your life.

Casting spells

• Aligned element: The complementary nature of the spell empowers you.
• Opposing element: The conflicting nature of the spell diminishes you.
