Air Magic

This spell is a part of the Airess spell chain and can be found in the Airess rune stone.

Not every aeromancer who calls on the West Wind is asking for shelter. Zephyr's gift, after all, was never only comfort - spring is also the season of sudden squalls, of gentle mornings turning sharp without warning, and an aeromancer who has learned to ask for protection eventually learns they can ask for something with more bite instead. Air Burst is usually the first such lesson, simple enough that even a young aeromancer barely past their first cast of Airess can manage it, though simple does not mean gentle.

To cast it, the aeromancer gathers a fistful of West Wind's own current and works it between their hands until it thickens - folding, compressing, refusing to let it dissipate the way loose air always wants to. What results is a taut, invisible bubble of concentrated wind, no bigger than a melon, humming faintly with the pressure it's holding in. Thrown at a target, it doesn't so much strike as arrive - and then, all at once, it isn't a bubble anymore. It pops with a violence entirely disproportionate to its size, the compressed air unleashing outward against whatever it touched, dealing 2d12 points of damage. The aeromancer, more often than not, grins at the sound of it - Zephyr's currents were never meant to...

The same breath the aeromancer once learned to hold and shape and hand away has, by now, become something they barely think about - which is exactly what makes Scent of Dreamers possible. If air can be made to sustain a life without asking permission, it can just as easily be made to do the opposite: to slip in quietly, uninvited, and simply turn a body's attention inward until it stops paying attention at all.

There's no wind here, no gust, no gathering of pressure - just a strange, sweet-smelling gas that spreads outward from the aeromancer without any real drama announcing it. Everyone within its reach - friend and stranger alike - breathes it in without noticing, and one by one, wherever they stand, they simply sit down and sleep, right where they are. There's no violence in it, no struggle, no moment of realizing what's happening before it's already happened. The affected stay asleep until something wakes them - a shake, a shout, a slap, anything loud enough to cut through it - and the aeromancer, watching a room go quiet all at once, generally finds this a good deal more useful than dramatic. After all, what better whimsical prank is there than to simply make everyone fall asleep?

Dishevel teaches a young aeromancer that anger has a shape and a name they cannot give it - a nameless thing that lives, however briefly, in the space between one wind and another. It can only be described by the friction and disaster it can cause - the Tornado. What it does not teach, not yet, is scale. Vortex is the lesson that follows, often sooner than the aeromancer would like: that the same friction they touched once, aimed at a single target and scattered by their own effort, can just as easily refuse to be aimed at all.

When Vortex is cast, the aeromancer doesn't reach outward this time - they let the friction gather around their own body instead, current after current pulling inward, tightening, until the air itself seems to hold its breath. Then it releases all at once, in every direction simultaneously, indifferent to who stands where. Everyone within the vortex's reach - ally and enemy alike - is thrown back 4 spaces, or roughly 20 feet. Should the force fling one target into another, both go down hard, the collision doubling the damage between them. Should it fling someone into a wall, a tree, anything that doesn't yield, the impact alone is punishment enough. There is no bracing against...

Vortex teaches an aeromancer that the friction between winds can be aimed - but aimed is not the same as obeyed, and Chaotic Winds is where that distinction finally becomes impossible to ignore. Where Vortex simply let the Tornado go and trusted it to scatter fairly, this spell asks something far more presumptuous: point it. Narrow it. Send the whole formless disaster down a single, deliberate line at one target instead of every direction at once. The Tornado, as it turns out, has opinions about that request.

The aeromancer draws the friction inward the same way they did for Vortex, but this time refuses to let it simply erupt - twisting it instead into a tight, cork-screwing shot of compressed air and hurling it at their chosen target with everything they can put behind it. The base damage rolled is 5d10. What actually lands, though, is not entirely up to the aeromancer. Something in the Tornado's nature resists being pointed anywhere in particular, and that resistance shows itself the instant the shot connects. Roll 1d3 immediately after: a 1 cuts the damage in half, a 2 lets it land exactly as rolled, and a 3 doubles it outright. The aeromancer who casts this spell learns to...

When the aeromancer was young, the aeromancer often played with their runic connection. They used the wind to help them run faster, and when they would jump, they would use the wind to help them jump farther, and higher. This play had developed over time into actual spells. Running faster became Haste, where they felt the West Wind's hurry make them run faster than before. But what more could the developing aeromancer ask of the West Wind? The druids say that the god of the West Wind is Zephyr, and that Zephyr is a gentle god that brings aid. The symbol within might not be the god, but the West Wind is very similar - a runic connection to the deity's power perhaps. One that gives aid. One that likes to play just as much as the aeromancer. "If I can use the wind to jump higher, maybe I can use it to hold myself up." is the statement that set the playful, creative aeromancer's mind in motion, and the outcome was Levitate. It was as if Zephyr herself was responding, showing a lack of care for being stationary and grounded.

Levitate asks nothing more complicated of the wind than to hold something up. Cast normally, it gathers beneath the target and lifts them one space (5 feet) into open air, steady as if standing on solid ground...

Aeromancers are aeromancers because of their connection to the element of air itself, and air is something that is more often than not felt, not seen. This is something the aeromancer has always known instinctively, from even a very young age when they marveled at how something invisible like the wind could move things, even when they began to use the same wind themself to blow about fallen leaves or propel them forward at faster speeds. The one trick that first brought fear to the aeromancer before it brought them joy was when they watched their hands seemingly vanish, as if they were becoming like the air itself. Now that the aeromancer is older and more skilled, they have learned how to tap into the runic power within their runic soul - the West Wind - and become like the wind itself. To become translucent.

The change isn't invisibility - anyone looking hard enough can still find the shape of the aeromancer standing there. What gives is everything around that shape: edges blur into whatever's behind them, color and outline thin toward the same soft transparency the open sky has, and the eye simply struggles to hold onto something that no longer insists very hard on being there. It fools sight alone - footsteps...

Zephyr offers aid and protects those who ask it of her - such is what the druids say about the deity that controls the West Wind - the wind of new beginnings, uncertain weather, and the particular kind of hope that arrives when winter ends and is not yet sure of itself. The West Wind that lies within the aeromancer's runic soul is almost an exact copy of this - both a symbol of the positive nature of air and a representative of the deity of one of the four winds that the druids pray to. The West Wind offers aid and protection to those who call upon her. If the aeromancer asks for all aid and protection, the West Wind responds and that response is West Wind's Charge. 

Wrapped around the target - the aeromancer themself, or whoever they trust most at their side - the West Wind settles in twice over: once as an edge, sharpening every blow the target lands by 1d10, and once as a shield, thickening whatever armor they wear by a quarter (25%) against harm. And because it is Zephyr's own current doing the wrapping, nothing born of air can find purchase against it either - the charged target stands immune to air magic entirely for as long as the charge holds. Struck, sharpened,...

The dark symbol that is the Tornado and the aeromancer are in many ways very similar in nature. Both are chaotic and mischievous. Both also have quick and destructive tempers. Down Burst is that temper put into action. It is not as elegant as Aero Disk - instead it is something else. It is pure, sudden violence matching the aeromancer's quick temper. 

There's no throwing motion here, no arc to admire. There is only sudden destruction. The aeromancer calls the compressed vortex up directly above the target and lets go of it entirely, and the Tornado does what it's always secretly wanted to do given the chance - it comes straight down, fast, crushing, a single column of violent wind slamming into whatever's standing beneath it before the target has any real chance to move. There's no finesse left in it by the time it lands, no controlled curve, no clever cut across the torso - just raw weight and speed meeting flesh all at once, dealing 8d8 points of damage in the instant it strikes. It isn't the aeromancer's most creative trick. It's just one of the most effective, and sometimes that's enough of a reason on its own. As quickly as the aeromancer's temper fades, so too does the spell - gone in an instant with the Tornado's...

Tornadoes are seen as a chaotic disaster by any who have witnessed them. They are known for being completely destructive, chaotically unpredictable, and short lasting. The symbol of chaotic friction that aeromancer scholars had labeled as the Tornado though, are not entirely the same as a tornado spun during a powerful storm. While chaotic, the Tornado is a symbol of magic, a reflection of the carefree aeromancer's darker side - the quick burst of uncontrolled anger that can spin up without warning and fade just as quick. But it is a symbol of an unknown force and not the force of nature itself, and aeromancers - unlike tornadoes, can learn to control their rage. Worse, they can learn to control the dark chaotic symbol itself. They can direct it, make it stay - and make it last. 

Focusing their anger, controlling it to a point that would make even the patient aquamancer take notice, the aeromancer lets loose a small, contained funnel that gathers around the target and stays exactly where it's put, spinning in place with a discipline nothing in this whole restless lineage has shown before. Each round the target remains inside it, they take 5d10 damage, battered from every side by winds that refuse to wander even an...

West Wind's Protection taught the aeromancer that the air could stand between someone they cared for and whatever meant to hurt them - though never perfectly, never against everything, and the aeromancer has long since made peace with that gap. What the West Wind offers here is the other half of the same care: not standing in harm's way this time, but tending to what's left once harm has already had its say.

Settling over the target like something breathed rather than cast, the air undoes what it can of the damage already done. Whatever lingering affliction has taken hold - poison, fear, weakness, anything short of death itself - simply loses its grip and lets go all at once. From there, the same gentle current keeps working for as long as it lingers: 1d4 Vitality returned every round, closing wounds a little at a time, and 1d6 Soul returned alongside it, easing back whatever the fight itself demanded to draw on. It isn't dramatic, and it isn't instant. It's patient, the way care usually has to be.

The West Wind never seems to mind picking up wherever Protection left off. Some hurts simply need mending more than they ever needed stopping.

Scent of Roses taught the aeromancer that whatever rides on the air a target breathes can be turned to suit whoever's shaping it - sweet dreams undone, or given back. Such is fitting for the mischievous, playful minded aeromancer. But when angered is when an aeromancer stops playing and becomes a force to be feared. Tornadoes are feared for a reason, and when the aeromancer casts Wisps of Death, the aeromancer takes on the worst outcome of the Tornado - the death it leaves behind. Wisps of Death in practice is not far removed from Scent of Roses. It is the same trick with none of the playfulness left in it at all. Some threats don't leave room for mischief, and the aeromancer, however much they'd rather this never needed learning, has learned it anyway.

There's no gas cloud to see coming, no scent to notice and flee from - so long as the target stands within six spaces of the aeromancer when the spell takes hold, the poison doesn't fill the air around them, it becomes part of the air already inside them, mixed into every breath they draw from that moment on. For three rounds it works quietly through their system, dealing 1d8 poison damage to their Vitality each round, before the body...

The Choking Gas spell fills the area with a putrid gas. This gas causes everyone under it, ally and enemy, to take 5d12 damage per round while they are in the gas. Once the gas dissipates or a target, ally or enemy, gets out from the gas, they begin taking poison damage of 1d8 until cured or dead. You are not effected.

This manipulation enchants a weapon of the target with the ability to knock down a target on hit and dealing an extra 1d20 points of damage with every hit. You can cast this spell on anyone’s melee weapon. The magic appears to be wind swirling around the part of the weapon that hits the enemy. You can only use this spell on melee, hand-held weapons.

The chaotic and devastating power of the Tornado is not only a power that destroys, it is a power than can help another destroy. Having learned the lesson of control through Tornado's Restraint, Tornado's Strength shows the aeromancer that chaos can also be used to empower. Through the Tornado, the aeromancer offers raw and undiluted power with nothing held back and nothing spent in violence. 

The aeromancer reaches for the same coiled discipline they learned holding the Tornado in place, but instead of releasing it as wind or damage, they pour it directly into the target's body - muscle, sinew, the raw physical capacity for force. The target's Strength stat doubles, and every Strength-based trait increases by 2 for the duration, enough that almost any feat of physical power, within reason, simply succeeds. There is no damage here, no destruction, no scattering - just the quiet, strange fact that the same force which once could only lash out has become, in the aeromancer's hands, something they can simply give away. It is, in its own way, the furthest the Tornado has ever traveled from where it started: from a nameless anger with no temple to a gift with someone else's name on it.

This manipulation summons up a spiraling wind around the target of your choosing. Whenever the protected target is attacked, whether it be by ranged, melee, magical, breath weapon, or any other form of attack, the attacker is instantly dealt 9d10 points of damage.

Suffocate creates an air vacuum in front of the mouth of the target. This vacuum stops all air from being taken in by the target. The target tries to breath, gasping and terrified. For three rounds the target struggles for air. Finally the target passes out and dies. At any part of the suffocation, someone can break the magic of suffocation by dragging the body from the area of the air vacuum. The target though is unable to act or move during this spell.

This spell creates two large globes of glowing light. Each one will go to an ally of your choice. This can be two allies or 1 ally and yourself. There are only two globes so you can only choose two targets. The globes go to the locations selected. Each target who gets the globe has a choice of an Armor Defense, Armor Spirit, Power, and Vitality bonus of double their Arcana or a boosted Offensive, Bow, and Runic Power of + 1d20.
