| Description: | The Abeyant Orison spell lets you intercept self cast, beneficial spells and place them at rest within an Osrel Meraud orb. Later, by invoking the Abeyant Orison spell from the orb, you can release the energy of the spells stored within, activating all of them rapidly.
Abeyant Orison is known to work with almost all beneficial spells, even those outside the realm of Holy magic, though the strength of those spells is limited based on the energy invested in the initial casting. The Osrel Meraud orb must be attuned to Abeyant Orison in order to place any spell in abeyance. | |
| Effect: | Unknown | |
| Example Messaging: | Through your magical link to the cerulean orb, you force it to spin with incredible speed!
The structure of your spell manifests in the air as a pattern of dazzling light, swirling inexorably toward the spinning orb. Your orb lets out a short burst of light along its axis as the spell impacts its surface, disappearing from this plane and into timeless abeyance. | |
| Devices/Tattoos: | No devices or tattoos documented. | |
Notes
- "This one is one of my favorites," Esuin continues, nodding. "There's something sublimely pleasing about dodging a spray of Necromancer teeth, their jaws having smacked the floor in surprise. Once, I even saw one's eyes pop out of her head. It was hilarious."
- "I find this spell very reassuring," Jelna continues. "It's useful even when I wouldn't expect it to be! By the luck of Be'ort, when I'm reading my lantern always burns out when I get to the good part. That's when a fresh Divine Radiance matrix always pays off. I don't even want to think about preparing a spell when I'm reviewing guild contracts... or worrying about whether Nalia will choose Lorminus or Herdinin," she says, gushing a little.
- "This spell has an poignant history," Sothavi continues. "First discovered years ago, the only scroll of it sat, literally, in abeyance for seven decades, collecting dust in a sub-basement of the Crossing temple. It wasn't until that structure was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt that anyone noticed the yellowed scroll with the word 'Abeyance' scrawled at the top of it."
"Unfortunately, its liberator was an upstart acolyte of little merit, connected to a guild official who shall remain nameless. He misread the scroll's title as "Obedience" and believed it the secret to controlling familiars. Only after he perished in the jaws of a black bear did anyone pay attention to the peculiar scroll, which has since been translated by High Priestess Tallis. The spell was given its current title to stave off confusion, though some Warrior Mages still mockingly refer to it as "Obey-ance".
