| Charmcraft | This is the craft of creating temporary charms which are the manifestations of mystical energy. In essence a Charmcrafter learns to weave the energies around them into solid objects that hold their charge for a short period of time. The Charmcrafter first learns to release that bound energy upon or through themselves and as their understanding of charms and the energy that goes into making them increases they are able to learn different ways to release and bind the energy involved. All Charms are considered non stealable IG items that are bound to whomever they are cast upon. A charmcrafter begins play with the ability to create a very basic charm an infinite number of times: create light. This charm allows the charmcrafter to create a magical source of light to see by. All Charms are destroyed by the spell Negation and only last until the end of the event. In order to use a charm given to you by a skilled charmcrafter you must be conscious and able to speak. All charms require you to use the incant: “By the power of Charmcraft” and then the spell effect. You do not have to have a free limb to activate a charm, although you must be conscious. The effect is always targeted upon the person who incanted the charm and may not target anyone other than them. Different charms are learned in game from an appropriate teacher. Each charm is purchased independently and as a representation of the charmcrafter’s power are learned in order. Rumors of even more powerful charms do exist, although the creation of such is rumored to be extremely difficult. |
