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

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 simply raise the shard and it will send a message to the mage it is bonded to that the beacon is ready.

Notes

  • The forming of the shard is a concentration check and will drain concentration while solidifying the shard for use.
