| Description: | For generations, the Ethereal Fissure spell was considered lost and forgotten. The recent discovery of an ancient scroll by two mages, Vortressa and Blacklark, has returned the spell to common knowledge at last. Once again, Warrior Mages can open a rift to the very fabric of our Plane of Abiding and augment the local mana streams with raw power from one of the Elemental Planes. | |
| Effect: | Unknown | |
| Example Messaging: | You roll your hands in an elliptical pattern in front of you.
A spinning ball of vivid blue aether appears within the pattern your hands define. The spherical ellipse of vivid blue aether flattens and expands. A fine mist covers the ellipse, which clears on a gust of wind leaving a fissure in its place. For additional messaging, see the Messaging section in the notes below. | |
| Devices/Tattoos: | No devices or tattoos documented. | |
Notes
- To cast this spell, one must select an element to base the fissure on. Valid options are: AETHER, AIR, EARTH, ELECTRIC, FIRE and WATER.
Do not cast with an element opposed to the one already in use (Fire <=> Water, Air <=> Earth, Aether <=> Electric) unless you intend to destroy the fissure and cause mild vitality damage to all in the area. - After your initial cast you can bolster the fissure with additional castings. You may continue to add power and duration based upon your primary magic and mana used up to a point when additional casts will have no effect on duration or size (effectiveness) of the fissure.
- The amount of mana a fissure generates is related directly to its size, which in turn is related to the amount of mana you initially put into it: tiny, small, <no description>, large, gaping, enormous.
- Over the duration of the spell the fissure will shrink in size, thus lowering the boost of available mana.
- A very effect use of this spell is to charge cambrinth in a room with better mana, then use that cambrinth in a room with worse mana to aid your casting of Ethereal Fissure.
- There is a brief delay between casting or bolstering the fissure before the increased available mana is visible through perceiving the mana.
