Tome of Fulgur

This is the ***Tome of Fulgur***.

This Tome is publicized to the people of Azura, and mainly Ludwag. I go by many names, but I am mainly known as Cloud. Electromancy, an extraordinary phenomenon, encompasses the profound art of manipulating weather patterns and harnessing the mighty forces of electricity. Witnessing an electromancer in action is a truly exceptional occurrence, comparable in rarity to even the most elusive practitioners of necromancy. The magic demands great proficiency and finesse to wield safely. Without the proper mastery and dexterity, the unbridled power of electromancy can prove fatal, leading to catastrophic outcomes such as the untimely demise of the wielder or unwitting harm inflicted upon others. Therefore, it is deeply important that this extraordinary gift is handled with utmost care and precision, for its potential consequences are as immense as the tempests it can conjure.

With the introduction of what Electromancy is, we can start by saying common ways of attuning to this said mancy. For starters, I attuned to Electromancy by meditating during thunderstorms, usually from high up places. It is important to keep your mind clear and your body still. You could also do other more…unique ways such as hunting electric eels and letting them shock you, or getting an attuned Electromancer to send low voltages of electricity throughout your body. But don’t tell you I taught you that. Either way, to attune to that magic you will have to be exposed to some sort of electricity or rough weather.

Now, you are now a part of the School of Calor, and you feel an odd sensation within your gut after you’ve attuned. You are at a Beginner or Novice level assumedly. As for a beginner, you have quite very little vitor, the most you can probably do at this level is just bright sparks of static. Although at Novice you are able to have more condensed and concentrated forms of electricity, yet nothing to halt anyone. At novice, Electromages can exert enough volts that could make small limbs have spasms for a short moment but you shouldn’t try attacking anyone with your magic at this progression of attunement. Just mainly use it for passive tasks such as lighting firewood, doing aim training on small flammable objects and your vitor pool should grow more as you get more experience in.

Finally, at Intermediate! It took you a good amount of months, possibly even a year to reach this level. You find your vitor pool larger, and it is about the size of an Ale mug. And you can finally cast pure bolts of electricity. Although not entirely lethal one’s at this level, you should still be careful. Casting when it is raining can be fairly difficult, and you might have risks of your spells backfiring, and shocking you if you miss-cast. Your electricity at this progression will be more focused on stunning, as you’re able to execute out enough volts of electricity to give someone intense muscle spasms, and burns that are of first degree. As stated before, your vitor pool is only about the size of an Ale mug, so make sure to use your casting when needed and try not to exert too much vitor to exhaust yourself quickly. You still can use a weapon at this level so you should be fine!

Proficiency in the field of expertise marks a significant shift towards a more intensive and specialized practice. With progression, the scope of an individual's skill set broadens, enabling them to employ intermediate-level spells with reduced strain and fatigue. At the expert level, one's reservoir of vital energy, known as vitor, expands gradually, resembling the capacity of two ale barrels. Furthermore, the manifestation of electrical manipulation becomes increasingly perilous and potentially lethal, granting the adept the ability to cast spells even amidst inclement weather conditions, albeit with caution. At this stage, the individual should be capable of conjuring bolts of lightning, albeit not comparable to the natural discharge emanating from the skies. Nevertheless, such an ability proves remarkably efficacious. Ho-ho, but it surely is quite effective! Before getting into the Lightning spell, let’s talk about Electricity. Your Electricity becomes more damaging and its voltages are amped up. Within the realm of expertise, the practitioner's control over electricity intensifies, bolstering its capacity to inflict greater harm through amplified voltages. The application of electrical currents can be tailored to immobilize muscles, resulting in temporary paralysis of the affected limb. Furthermore, with sufficient concentration of electricity in a targeted area, second-degree burns can be induced upon an individual. You won’t send out bolts of Electricity like it’s nothing, it still clearly takes casting time so make sure to do it from a distance. Ah! That also reminds me. Safe spots you should cast from. Don’t try to be different and cast from weird parts of your body like your eyes, mouth, feet, and etc. Try focusing on the tips of your fingers and point them to your target. Or something a bit more advanced, you can try casting from the air and bringing the electricity directly down onto your target, although it is a bit tricky to hit if your target is moving. Having staffs also help you focus your vitor into one part and exert that vitor out to hit your opponent. You can form objects of electricity but it isn’t too useful, it’s more recommended to make shapes of electricity to trap or protect yourself from attacks. Simple shapes such as squares, circles, triangles, you know the rest.

Now moving onto Lightning, you aren’t exerting actual Lightning but if you use this spell it is fatal most times. It is different from actual bolts of electricity due to the difference in its chaotic nature, and not being able to be controlled as well. That is why it is highly recommended you should cast this sort of spell from the air, and strike down on them–like actual lightning would. If they are hit by this Lightning and have no form of protection to protect them from the full conductivity of the Lightning, they will have intense 2nd degree burns across the point-of-impact, and most likely won’t be moving for a while. Let’s call your lightning at this level… watered down Lightning rune!

If you have progressed far enough to reach Mastery, I doubt you need my guidance. But let me congratulate you! Mayhaps we can have our own spar. You can find me living on the Clouds if you ever find me up there. But let me explain more on the natural nature of Electromancy. It is similar to how Cryomancy naturally makes things cold, and Pyromancy naturally burns things, without needing vitor. Sure, the only amount of vitor they needed was to create the ice or flame in the first place, but its effects are natural. Electricity tends to find the fastest route to the ground, and things such as rubber are good insulators against electricity. Those damn Lattish even had Copper rods one time to try to mess up some Rogue Electromage! But guess what? You’re an Electromage. You control where your electricity goes, all you have to do is understand the output of electrical charges. Of course, you need to learn how to do that in the first place, and I was only able to do it at Mastery. If you’re facing a plated foe, your stunning nature of Electricity won’t affect them completely, but they still have to deal with the heat and impact force it carries. What I usually like to do is cast from below them, and the lightning goes up into their body–sending them a few feet into the air and follow up with another bolt of lightning. Ah, that also brings me to another point, remember when I mentioned Electricity finds its fastest route to the ground? Well, what if your opponent is flying? Simply, since there is no ‘ground’ for the electricity to travel in, the opponent takes the full volts of the electricity, which is quite the mark.

I believe that is all I have to give out for public knowledge. But there is a section I would want to go into later, for now, I’ll just mark it as ***BLACKLISTED INFORMATION***. This information is barred from you chaotic mages, and if you want to learn it you will have to reach out to me personally. Anyways, be safe and don’t get struck by lightning.
