Introducing the Spellbound Archives

The Spellbound Archives is a new series that will discuss the world of Erudus. Today’s post is the third key of magic. In the following weeks, information on how magic works, the 13 keys, and the Magus Alliance, will be discussed further. Other elements of Erudus, such as creatures, world building, and sound will be explored.

What is Evocation Magic?

Evocation magic is used to tap into the universe to create or summon energy. It is often explosive, and can cause massive damage. As such, it is often used by masters in battle to destroy, turn, or send supernatural forces away. Individuals who become leaders in the Magus Alliance, tend to have, at least partial mastery of this magic.

Evocation magic throughout history has been used to stop evil forces from destroying the universe. While, all twelve of the other types of magic are important, evocation magic is what ties them all together.

This type of magic is uncommon, but for those who have mastery’s in multiple keys, it tends to be one of the foundational types learned. Mastery, is often obtained, late in an individual’s magical journey.

What can a character, who is an expert in Evocation magic, do?

Summon up energy from the universe, condense it, and send it outwards. Often in the form of fire and lightening.
Calling up the forces of lightening, fire, frost and snow.
Basic guards of the Magus Alliance often have simple Evocation magic. Used only for protection purposes.
To call on the supernatural (spirits) to rise and present themselves. This is usually used by individuals who are masters in other keys. Often the master calls the spirit in order to communicate with them in some fashion.

Who Uses High Illusion Magic?

Angelika Moonglen - Angelika is a master. Although, she can produce large amounts of energy, she tries to avoid this. This type of energy causes her to get dizzy and pass out, putting her in danger. She uses the magic mostly to communicate with the supernatural.
Chaiz Wolffired IV - Member and leader in the Magus Alliance. As head of the unit that goes around and “fixes” areas in the universe where magical beings are causing problems, he often uses this type of magic in battle. He rarely uses the supernatural element.
The Magus Alliance - Used by guards, in limited capacity, to help keep the peace. Elon and Chaiz are masters.
Keefee Minoth - Leader on Erudus - Keefee uses this magic in limited capacity. He cannot produce energy. He can, in times of pressure, see the supernatural, and in extreme pressure, he can call on certain members of the dead.
The High Dragon Rider Brynn - Head of the dragon riders - Brynn has the unusual ability to call upon his ancestors to aid him. He cannot use this often. If he calls on the dead too often they will take his soul.

Limitations and Costs of Illusion Magic

Newcomers to this key face huge challenges. The energy, if used incorrectly, can destroy them. This has caused people to be incinerated.

Walking amongst the dead is always dangerous, especially for the newcomers, who can’t protect themselves. Sometimes, they can be pulled into the unknown realm.

Great evocation magic, that is used to confront and destroy a God, demon or strong supernatural being, can pulled the maga into the other’s realm. The portal then kills her.

Masters must also limit their use of fire, or lightening. While must decide what is the limit of the energy that their body can contain. If they misjudge the amount, she individual can roast herself. Death is immediate.

Other marks can appear on a person who uses this magic. Streaks of premature white hair, permanent dark bags under the eyes, extremities that always tingle, and burns that never heal, are common.

People often stay away from the masters of evocation magic. They fear them.

Masters also must use evocation in limited amounts. If they don’t, their body will become unbalanced, and they will become ill.

Society, Technology and Daily Structures.

The Magus Alliance, the magic “police”, is filled with individuals who have some form of this key. The alliance protected people during great wars and has become legendary. Universal laws allow the alliance to take over any society when needed.

The Magus Alliance is at the forefront of technology, especially for technoligies that are important in the protection industry. Davius Kings, for example, invented a type of medical device which reverses the effects of certain poisons that only affect magical beings.
