Moon Mages are an esoteric collective of magicians, scholars and soothsayers from several different sects. Known for the versatile and powerful magic that flows from their fingertips and their ability to foretell the future, Moon Mages are among the most potent spellcasters on Elanthia.

Their abilities are tied closely to the rising and setting of the three moons Xibar, Yavash and Katamba, as well as the motions of other heavenly bodies. Thus when the skies smile down upon a Moon Mage, his powers are strong; yet when all the moons have set, he is considerably weaker.

Moon mage spells

Guild Sorcery

Moon Mages as a magic prime guild have access to a guild specific sorcery called Teleologic Sorcery. These spells are a mixture of Lunar and either Holy or Elemental mana. The common theme of their effects is the manipulation of Fate in ways that most Moon Mages would deem fundamentally wrong. As these are sorcery spells, the Moon Mage guild does not endorse nor teach their use thus requiring any mage wishing to learn their secrets to seek them on spell scrolls.

The casting of these spells carries several possible consequences.

  • The possibility of volatile backlash that can happen when mixing mana types.
  • Accusation and arrest for Forbidden Practices which will also give Social Corruption.
  • Small amounts of Teleologic Corruption. This is a corrupting factor on a Moon Mage's link to the Plane of Probability and will affect the mage's ability to predict the future.

Moon Mage Attunement

Moon Mages have a unique variation on perceiving power that goes beyond what most other guilds can do. While most magic users find the number of mana streams to be location-dependent, the mana streams for Lunar Magic are time-dependent, reflecting the conditions of the moon and stars.

As such, Moon Mages may perceive:

  • The moons of Elanthia, either individually or all at once
  • The available mana for each Moon Mage spellbook, either individually or all at once
  • The source of a Locate spell
  • A rough estimate of the current time, even underground
  • The magical status of other characters or creatures
  • The distance to nearby planets

Prediction

The ability to foresee a character's future. This ability will either provide a temporary bonus or penalty to the recipient's skill.

Several tools may be of use in performing predictions:

Enchanting

The ability to imbue spell-like effects onto items.

Astral Travel

Astral Travel is an ability that allows Moon Mages to enter and navigate the Astral Plane, allowing them to bridge massive distances on the Plane of Abiding in almost no time. The ability is dangerous and often fatal and was only recently made possible by the invention of the Naming Ritual, which is used on Grazhir shards to imprint them with a magical pattern of its name which allows a mage to use it as an anchor.

Recall Heavens

Moon Mages have the ability to use the RECALL command to aid in deciphering the heavens.

  • RECALL HEAVENS will give information regarding the individual constellations and what skillsets they give prediction information on.
  • RECALL HEAVENS GRAZHIR will remind the mage which Grazhir shards they have memorized.

100th Circle Ability

Upon being promoted to 99th circle the Moon Mage Guildleaders will task the mage with a quest for better understanding of the cosmos. This quest must be completed in order to advance to 100th circle and beyond. After completion the mage is granted the ability to tap into the Astral Plane from anywhere in the land by teleporting or moongating to Grazhir rather than the three other moons. This ability also provides security to teleporting to a moon that is no longer in the sky by automatically shunting the mage to the nearest Grazhir shard rather than the typical messy outcome.

Lesser Guild Abilities

Time Sense

The ability for a Moon Mage to tell the time of day even when they cannot see the sky due to affinity to the moons and celestial bodies.

Backtrace

The ability to trace a Locate back to the caster and his/her location.

Align

Align is an ability learned by Moon Mages and has several effects.

  • When the mage is aligned to one of the moons, spells that require a moon will default to the aligned moon.
  • When the mage is aligned to Grazhir and has completed the 100th circle ability quest, any rogue teleports or moongates will send the mage to the nearest Astral Plane conduit.
  • When using the prediction system or the Tangled Fate spell the mage must align to the skillset or individual skill they wish to predict upon.
