| Description: | The Guardian Spirit spell summons a protective spirit of the land or a flighty warrior of the Fae to keep you safe from hostility. No matter what arrives, they are all quite particular and peculiar creatures, though a person with stronger charisma will draw a more capable entity. When your protector arrives, it will follow you no matter where you may go. The more mana the initial spell has, the longer it will remain with you. | |
| Effect: | Unknown | |
| Example Messaging: | Your heart skips a beat as your spell sends a subtle jingling call outward from you in all directions.
With a warrior's calm, a pure white alfar avenger steps in and surveys the area. The alfar avenger protects you from being engaged. | |
| Devices/Tattoos: | No devices or tattoos documented. | |
Notes
The Guardian Spirit will push your foe to missile range if one advances to melee on you and you are not already at melee with another creature or player. The GS generally avoid fighting themselves, but on rare occasion, they will engage your enemies.
Types of Guardian Spirits
The different GS types are essentially identical. Narmobreths can only be summoned if you are in a watery area, and will not follow you onto dry land. Woodwisps will only appear if you are on dry land, and will not follow you into wet areas.
Avenger
Though her skin glistens with the purest of white, this particular alfar avenger appears much like an emaciated, clean-shaven Gnome. In one hand, she grips a sharp blade of unusual design while her immense, pitch-black eyes unblinkingly watch for threats.
Colepexy
One could almost describe the fungus colepexy as a living set of wings, such is the size of the dragonfly-like pairs this one exhibits. The tiny body he has is reminscent of a ladybird, complete with black spots dappled along his red shell. Rather than a bug's head, however, he has a bizarre, Human-like face that smiles pleasantly at anyone he notices.
Dirnel
Slickened hair, pulled back in a long ponytail, trails behind the dog-faced dirnel like a serpent. Though tossing the occasional playful snap at this makeshift-tail with a set of sharp, yellow teeth, he seems otherwise friendly enough. An adoring pair of eyes gleam from his Rakash-like face, dissolving any doubts of this protector's loyalities.
Guardian
Small vestigal wings sprout from the alfar guardian, appearing completely out of place with their softness in direct contrast to her ceramic-like skin. Otherwise looking much like a thin, hairless Gnome, she exhibits another harshness in the blackened, spine-covered shield she grips white-knuckled in both hands.
Narmorbreth
Covered in blue and grey scales instead of skin, the bulbous-eyed narmorbreth unblinkingly stares at anyone who gazes upon him. The distinctive shine of slime and water coats his fish-like body with a healthy moisture, though his bloated belly implies that of a sickly perch. Still, his face belies an intellect that would not be out of place in Merelew society.
Woodwisp
Few creatures could be as thin and frail as the forest woodwisp appears. Wearing a crown of thorns and clothing of dry, patchwork leaves, he appears not so comforting as he does foreboding, but the delicate smile etched upon his Elf-like face claims otherwise.
Commands
There are a number of commands that can be used with the Guardian Spirits:
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR NAME will give the fae's personal name.
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR GUARD or SUMMON <GS> will make the GS start guarding you, in case he/she has stopped doing so.
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR STOP stops the GS from guarding you.
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR QUIET will squelch environmental messaging from the GS.
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR TIME or POKE <GS> will tell you how much longer the GS will remain at your side.
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR COMMAND tells you which commands can be used with the GS.
- ASK <GS> ABOUT|FOR LEAVE will dismiss the GS.
Examples: ASK DIRNEL FOR NAME, ASK COLEP ABOUT QUIET
In addition, you can use a handful of RP verbs with certain Guardian Spirits eg. HUG, PET, etc.
