Celestial Beacon (constellation jewelry)

The Celestial Beacon enchant allows a user to create a beacon point for a Moon Mage to cast a moonbeam on via Focus Moonbeam.

Creation

Components

• A moonbeam
• Imbue
• Enchanter's Burin
• Celestial sigil of the Xibar, Yavash,Katamba, Cat and Magpie
• Activating Spell: Shadows, Dazzle or Unleash

Steps

• STEP 1 -- making the shard

1. Cast Imbue after having focused a moonbeam into the area via Focus Moonbeam

• STEP 2 -- after shard has been created:

1. CHARGE shard <mana>
2. Cast <Shadows/Dazzle> on the shard -- Shadows if it was a Katamba moonbeam, Dazzle if it was a Yavash/Xibar moonbeam

• Note: The shard will be constantly and quickly leaking the mana you put into it. You must keep mana in the shard, while filling it with shadows/dazzle, by CHARGEing it. If it runs out of mana, the shard will poof. You can charge, charge, cast. You can charge, cast, cast. It doesn't matter; experiment, and find a way that works for you. Remember, both charging and casting takes mana; try to balance how much you charge it with, and how much you cast shadows/dazzle at, with the amount of mana you have. Having a shadowling around helps. Other people cannot help you charge it or fill it.

• STEP 3 -- when shard is solid, and you're holding it.

1. Scribe the Cat sigil
2. Scribe, activate, and bind the Magpie sigil
3. Scribe, activate, and bind the <moon> sigil

• STEP 4 -- bonding it to the mage that will be sending the moonbeam.

1. CHARGE shard <mana>
2. FOCUS shard -- if you charged it with enough mana, it should bond to you, if not, repeat step 4.

Use

In order to use a Celestial Beacon:

1. The person with the beacon raises it. This stuns them and sends a message to the bonded moon mage.
2. The moon mage casts focus moonbeam on the appropriate moon (red - yavash, etc). The beam will drop where the beacon is instead of at the mage's location. You have about a minute to drop the beam before the timer runs out and you will need the target to raise the beacon again.

Note: the beacon is consumed in this process.

Notes

• The forming of the shard is a concentration check and will drain concentration while solidifying the shard for use."Moon mage" is not in the list (None, Bard, Barbarian, Cleric, Empath, Moon Mage, Necromancer, Paladin, Ranger, Thief, ...) of allowed values for the "Guild association is" property.
