-	=Joining the Azure Magi=	+	=Guild Help=
-	{{spoilers}}	+
		+	You are a member of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, a cabal of magi attuned to meteorological energies.
-	On the main Almerian map, at coordinates 19, -33 there is an exit eastup into the Azure Magi guildhall. Presumably the Azure Magi live high in the mountains as it is close to the chaotic winds of the world -- otherwise I have no clue why they live up there.	+	Like all magi, you require a handful of esoteric skills that will allow you to manipulate the arcane, as well as a deep reserve of spiritual energy. In addition to these skills and energies, you will use several techniques and power stores unique to your order.
		+	Your primary style of spell usage is aeroturgic. While many factors affect the weather, the atmosphere is the medium in which those factors combine with the most dynamism and fungibility. Elemental air energy is thus of great value to a Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris.
-	<pre>	+	Underlying the patterns of the atmosphere is raw chaos, and it is incumbent upon you to reflect this chaos within your spirit. This will both allow you to better manipulate and draw out the deepest mysteries of the weather, and give you a valuable ethos by which to live your life. The universe, like the weather, is fickle, and it takes a certain acceptance and transmission of its fickle nature in order to harmoniously express and manifest one's most personal self. (More on this below.)
-	the Azure Magi guildhall [n, wd]	+
-	You see a wooden-framed white wooden bulletin board and Torlira the Master of the Wind.	+
-	This relatively large room is where the Azure Magi make their home. The walls are all painted bright azure, and give off a warm glow. To the north is another section of the guildhall, while westdown leads out. Obvious exits are north and westdown. You see a wooden-framed white wooden bulletin board and Torlira the Master of the Wind.	+	Overlaying the patterns of the atmosphere is electricity, the highest and most intense form that the weather takes. Electricity is the fuel for the most powerful and dangerous of your spells.
-	Torlira is a middle aged aviar of approximately forty years. Her proud face bears the marks of intelligence, experience and power. She is the leader of the Azure Magi, a guild of powerful aeromancers. She looks about nineteen and a half dimins tall, five and two fifths dimins wide and one and seven twentieths dimins long. She is in good shape and is resting. Snowy-white mists surround her. She wields an iron-banded oak quarterstaff in her hands. She wears a robe around her body.	+	These three things -- elemental air, chaos, and electricity -- serve as fuel that you can use to manipulate and resonate with any number of natural phenomena. Almost as many of us find comfort in a life at sea as one in the clear skies; some prefer the starry night, others a tempestuous storm. Precipitation is commonly manipulated by the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris, but there have been those that could call upon fiery heat of the desert, or the lensing effects of water droplets, or even the atmospheric vacuum of deep space.
-	If you are not a member of a guild, you may receive information on the Azure Magi by typing 'help guild'. If you wish to join the Order of the Azure Magi, say 'pledge me to the Azure Magi'. To leave them, say 'I renounce the Azure Magi'. Azure Magi may say the command 'advance'.	+	As mentioned a moment ago, a certain type of chaotic ethos is central to your spellcasting prowess. This does not mean that you must be a prancing fool (after the fashion of Discordians) or rampantly destructive (after the fashion of most adventurers) -- though some of us have been those things. It means rather that you must strive to maintain a certain degree of independence and spontaneity within you. As the weather emerges as a system in its own right out of a confluence of forces, so the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris must always strive to be more than the sum of his surroundings; he must always bring something new and uniquely himself to every situation.
-	Torlira's limbs are named head, chest, right wing, left wing, right arm, left arm, right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg, right foot and left foot. Torlira was created by Rand; the source code was last updated Wed Mar 07 11:05:29 2007. The aviar race was created by Chaos and Nightmare; the source code was last updated Fri Jun 15 17:48:01 2007.	+	While most of our order are wanderers, and while there is no official hierarchy within the cabal, a certain degree of civility is expected among its members. The cabal recognizes that this is rather difficult, as its Magi tend to be strong personalities. Nonetheless, the egregore that you use is maintained by the strength of the ethos that you follow and the energies that you command collectively within your spirits. With inner strife, our magicks are be weakened.
-	Torlira is a middle aged aviar with vast amounts of intelligence, experience, and power. She is the leader of the Azure Magi and has been given the title of Master of the Wind.	+	=Joining the Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris=
		+	{{spoilers}}
		+	In [[Tetlacana]], at coordinates 7, 39, 0 there is an exit "in" to the guildhall.
-	</pre>	+	The guildmaster is Torlira, a female aviar. If you wish to join the Order of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, say 'pledge me to Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris'. To leave them, say 'I renounce Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris'.
-	You say, "pledge me to the Azure Magi" in lyrically-accented Anglic.	+
		+	The OZM is a chaotic neutral guild. This means that you CANNOT level up unless you are chaotic neutral, or very close to it.
-	&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Azure Magi News &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&	+	Torlira quietly intones, ~* As a Stalker of the Gate, you could not become a proponent of chaos by joining Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris. *~ to <§>

-	You begin to float in the air.	+	Torlira told me I could not join because literacy too low at 40. It seems to require anything over 40. Joined successfully at 41 and 44.
-	You wear your robe around your body.	+
-	You are now a first-degree specialist in aeromancy, arcane lore, chaos affinity, Enochian, introspection, legerdemain,memory, prestidigitation, scholarship and telesmatic weapon.	+	==Leaving==
		+	If you have left the Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, there is a 4 month wait before you are able to rejoin.

-	=Guild Help Files=	+	=Specialty access=
-	You are a member of the Red Magi of Lost Souls, a guild of powerful	+
-	pyromancers dedicated to serving neutrality and all it stands for. The	+
-	Red Magi use fire as a medium for their magickal art.	+
-		+
-	Red Magi have very powerful spells, but they tend to take a bit	+
-	longer to cast than other guilds, due to the fact that it takes time for	+
-	that power to build up in the mage.	+
-		+
-	Due to the delicate magical field needed for magi to weave their	+
-	spells, they may only wear non-encumbering armour and overarmour (rings,	+
-	amulets, robes, and so on). Also, magi may only wield daggers and staves,	+
-	as it is unbecoming of a mage to wield any other type of weapon.	+
-		+
-	Those of the Red Order also receive a red robe worn to indicate their	+
-	membership. This robe is enchanted to offer greater protection against	+
-	mundane damage than an ordinary robe, and has some minor wards against fire.	+
-		+
-	A mage may know up to eight spells at any given time. These spells can	+
-	be changed for other spells at the Red Magi Guildhall, for a price.	+
-	There are many spells to choose from, for a list of spells type '[[Red Magi Guild Home#Spell List|help spells]]'.	+
-		+
-	Being a Red Mage, you now have several new skills that affect how well	+
-	your spells will function. Type '[[Red Magi Guild Home#Skill List|help red magi skills]]' for more information.	+
-		+
-	For detailed information on casting spells, type '[[Red Magi Guild Home#Casting|help casting]]'.	+
-		+
-	The Red Magi also have their own channel for communicating with one another.	+
-	This channel is accessed via the commands 'redmage' or 'guild'.	+
-		+
-	==Skill List==	+
-	<pre>	+
-	As a Red Magi you have been imbued with several new skills. Each of	+
-	which affects how well you can cast certain spells. The skills are as	+
-	follows:	+
-		+
-	Pyromancy affects how the mage can affect and manipulate flames of any	+
-	type.	+
-		+
-	The Conjuring skill affects how well the mage can bring forth the power	+
-	to drive hir spells.	+
-		+
-	The skill of Enchanting affects how well the mage can imbue non-magical	+
-	items, such as an ordinary flame, with magical properties.	+
-		+
-	The Symbology skill deals with how well the mage understands symbols and	+
-	the thought patterns accompanying them.	+
-		+
-	Evocation affects how the mage can bring forth material objects	+
-	where there once were none.	+
-		+
-	The importance of each skill varies from spell to spell, while one spell	+
-	may rely heavily on Pyromancy, another may rely mostly on Symbology. The	+
-	more spells are cast by the mage, the faster the respective skills will	+
-	increase.	+

-	* Location: Red Magi Guild Hall	+
-		+
-	Commands to say:	+
-		+
-	Teach me <spell>	+
-	Rescind <spell>	+
-	Desuspend me	+
-	Flezra's limbs are named head, chest, right arm, left arm, right hand, left hand, right leg, left	+
-	leg, right foot and left foot.	+
-	Flezra is an instructor and responds to the following verbal commands:	+
-	Availability inquiry: Flezra, what skills can you instruct me in?	+
-	Cost inquiry: Flezra, what would it cost to instruct me in <subject>?	+
-	Instruction request: Flezra, instruct me in <subject(s)>.	+

-	evocation, legend lore, legerdemain, linguistics, literacy, meditation, memory, metaphysics,	+
-	prestidigitation, pyromancy, rune lore, scholarship, symbology and the use of telesmatic	+
-	weapons.= to you.	+
-		+
-	==Casting==	+
-		+
-	Casting a spell is fairly simple. You must have the required	+
-	spiritual points, endurance and of course the components. To find out	+
-	how much of these things you need, read the help file on the spell. For	+
-	example, to find out what requirements there are for the spell	+
-	"Detect Magic", type 'help detect magic'.	+
-		+
-	To cast the spell "Detect Magic", the command would be:	+
-	'say detect magic in enochian', as detailed in the help file. Note that	+
-	spells are cast by 'say'ing them; but not only that, saying them in the	+
-	Enochian language.	+
-		+
-	Enochian is taught by both Raistlin and [[Red Magi Guild Home#Flezra the Learned|Flezra]].	+
-		+
-	To see a list of all the spells available to the Red Magi, type	+
-	'[[Red Magi Guild Home#Spell List|help spells]]'. To see which spells you know, type 'spells'. For a	+
-	documentation on which skills affect your casting, type	+
-	'[[Red Magi Guild Home#Skill List|help red magi skills]]'. See also '[[Red Magi Guild Home#Containment Fields|help containment fields]]'.	+
-		+
-	===Containment Fields===	+
-	Red Magi have the ability to cast their spells into small spheres,	+
-	containment fields which can be released at any time. To cast a spell	+
-	into a containment field, all you need do is cast the spell with no	+
-	arguments with the word "contain" in front of it. For example, to cast	+
-	Fire Spikes into a containment field, one would use:	+
-	say contain fire spikes in enochian	+
-		+
-	This will cast the Fire Spikes spell into a containment sphere which	+
-	will float around the mage until sie decides to release it.	+
-		+
-	Containment spheres require four spell points per ten seconds each	+
-	to maintain. A mage may have at most three containment spheres, however	+
-	most mages will not be able to manage more than one or two at first.	+
-		+
-	To release a containment sphere, simply cast it as normal except	+
-	instead of 'say <spell> in enochian', use 'release <spell>'. So release	+
-	the above contained Fire Spikes spell on a rat which is in the room, a	+
-	mage would type: 'release 1 rat'. The '1' is for sphere number one,	+
-	since a mage may have up to three containment fields, 'rat' is the	+
-	target of the spell.	+
-		+
-	Current containment fields, if one has any, are listed at the bottom	+
-	of the 'spells' listing.	+
-		+
-	Due to the extreme power of certain spells, such as Fire of the	+
-	Gods, they may not be contained and must be cast normally.	+
-		+
-	Red Magi should note that spiritual and endurance energy is used up	+
-	when creating the containment sphere, however components are only used	+
-	when the spell is released from the field. Also, if a mage runs out of	+
-	spiritual energy while sie has containment fields, sie can no longer	+
-	maintain them and the spells inside may either die out or have other,	+
-	more serious effects.	+
-		+
-	See 'help casting' for complete details on casting a spell normally,	+
-	not into a containment field. For information on skills which affect	+
-	casting, see 'help red magi skills'.	+

-	====================================================================	+
-		+
-	Individual help is available for each spell using the command 'help <spell>'.	+
-		+
-	You may also type 'spells' to see a list of your current spells. Incidentally,	+
-	'spells' command can take an argument of what type of spells you wish to list.	+
-	For instance, 'spells utility' would list all utility spells which you currently	+
-	have in use; whereas 'spells offensive' would list all offensive spells.	+
-	Valid types are: offensive, defensive and utility. If you give no argument, or	+
-	specify an unknown type, 'spells' will default to listing all spells.	+
-		+
-	Once a spell has been cast one thousand times, it is burned permanently	+
-	into the mage's mind, and thus cannot be rescinded. However, the mage	+
-	may learn a new spell, and may thus have more than the default eight	+
-	spells.	+
-		+
-	===Protection from Fire===	+
-	Usage: say protection from fire [target] in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	The casting of Protection from Fire creates a protective	+
-	enchantment upon the target which guards it against injury	+
-	from fire and heat. Any Red Mage can cast this elementary	+
-	spell.	+
-		+
-	===Detect Magic===	+
-	Usage: say detect magic in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	The most basic spell of all Magi is to be able to detect	+
-	when there is magic present. This spell will make all	+
-	magical items in the caster's room and inventory	+
-	momentarily glow. Those of any level can cast Detect	+
-	Magic.	+
-		+
-	===Fire Lamp===	+
-	Usage: say fire lamp [target] [-] in enochian	+
-	Reversible: Yes	+
-	Description:	+
-	Those who have been struck blind will find use for the	+
-	Fire Lamp. By casting this spell, the caster shall put	+
-	fire back into the eyes of the target, allowing the	+
-	target to see once more. If no target is provided, then	+
-	the spell defaults to the caster as a target. The reverse	+
-	casting of this spell shall strike the target blind if the	+
-	target is not already in that state. The Fire Lamp can	+
-	be cast by those of any level.	+
-	Requirements:	+
-	An ice crystal.	+
-		+
-	===Fire Sphere===	+
-	Usage: say fire sphere in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	By casting Fire Sphere, the mage summons a sphere of fire,	+
-	which any mage can enter. The sphere will then travel to	+
-	the Red Magi guildhall where its flame is extinguished.	+
-	Any Red Mage can cast Fire Sphere.	+
-		+
-	===Pearl===	+
-	Usage: say pearl [type] [amount] in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	The Pearl spell enables the caster to entrap some life	+
-	force in a pearl. Only real pearls will work properly	+
-	with this spell. The caster must specify what type of	+
-	life force that the caster wishes to place into the	+
-	pearl. The valid types of life force that can be placed	+
-	into a pearl are: Hit Points, Spritual Points, and	+
-	Endurance Points. The caster must also specify how much	+
-	of that type of life force that the caster wishes to	+
-	place into the pearl. If no type or no amount are	+
-	specified, then the spell will fail. Some examples of a	+
-	successful pearl castings would be:	+
-	'say pearl spell points 50 in enochian',	+
-	'say pearl sp 50 in enochian',	+
-	'say pearl endurance points 75 in enochian',	+
-	'say pearl end 75 in enochian',	+
-	'say pearl hit points 25 in enochian', or lastly,	+
-	'say pearl hp 25 in enochian'.	+
-	When placing hit point life force into a pearl,	+
-	the life force is taken from all limbs. This spell	+
-	is dangerous in that the caster may specify so much	+
-	of hir life force so as to kill hirself. This spell	+
-	can be cast by those of any level.	+
-	Requirements:	+
-	A pearl is required. The amount of type of life force that is	+
-	placed into the pearl will be drawn from the caster.	+

-	inch long spikes made of pure fire are shot into the	+
-	chest of the target, causing minor damage. If a target	+
-	is not provided the spell will use the caster's main	+
-	attacker. If the caster has no attackers, then the	+
-	spell will fail.	+
-		+
-	===Flame Of Knowledge===	+
-	Usage: say flame of knowledge [target] in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	A very useful spell indeed, by casting Flame Of Knowledge	+
-	the mage is granted insight into the target. The knowledge	+
-	gained includes level, hit points, spell points, alignment,	+
-	and inventory. Be warned the more experienced the target is	+
-	the more spiritually and physically draining the casting can	+

-	conjured and any who stand amidst the flame will have full	+
-	comprehension of anything said while the flame continues	+

-	Usage: say fire blood [target] [-] in enochian	+
-	Reversible: Yes	+
-	Description:	+
-	Fire Blood will change the blood of the target into pure	+
-	fire, and thus clean away any impurities, such as	+
-	poison, which may have been contaminating the target.	+
-	If the reverse is cast, then the target will be	+
-	poisoned. If no target is specified, then the caster	+
-	becomes the target. Those of the fourth level and above	+
-	can cast Fire Blood.	+
-		+
-	===Flame Shield===	+
-	Usage: say flame shield <[target]> [armour] in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	When cast, this spell creates a shield of flame about the	+
-	target. If no target is given, then the caster becomes the	+
-	target. The flame shield burns those who would attempt	+
-	to hit its owner, as well as protects its owner from	+
-	many different forms of attacks. This spell is the most	+
-	used and usable defensive spells of the Red Magi. The	+
-	duration of the flame shield is dependant upon the level	+
-	of the caster, as well as the level of the target. A	+
-	modest estimate of its duration is approximately three	+
-	or four minutes. No one below the fourth level could	+
-	possibly grasp the inflections and concentration needed	+
-	to cast this spell.	+
-	Requirements:	+
-	A piece of armour is required. All you need do is	+
-	substitute [armour] in the Usage with the name of the	+
-	piece of armour that you wish to use in the casting of	+
-	the Flame Shield.	+
-		+
-	===Light Of Flame===	+
-	Usage: say light of flame [-] in enochian	+

-	Description:	+
-	Bring forth a flame to manipulate light in your room.	+
-	If the reverse is cast, a dark black flame shall appear,	+
-	and suck up (reduce) light in the area. If a normal	+
-	casting is utilized, a bright red flame shall appear,	+
-	and shed its (increase) light in the area. If, however,	+
-	a dark black flame is already present, and a normal	+
-	casting is utilized, the black flame will be banished.	+
-	The same shall happen if a bright red flame is present,	+
-	and a reverse casting is utilized, the bright red flame	+
-	shall flicker and die. The caster may cast as many Light	+
-	of Flames as the caster desires. Those of the fourth	+
-	level can easily grasp this spell.	+
-		+
-	===Seeking Flame===	+
-	Usage: say seeking flame in enochian	+
-	Reversible: No	+
-	Description:	+
-	The Seeking Flame is a spell of great power indeed.	+
-	Those of the fifth level and above have the power	+
-	required for the casting of it. When cast, a bright	+
-	yellow flame is created by the caster. This flame has	+
-	the ability to observe things. The caster sees through	+
-	the eyes of the bright yellow flame. The caster can	+
-	also control the movements of the bright yellow flame,	+
-	moving it from room to room. There are a few commands	+

		+	=Spells=
		+	Before any spells may be cast, you must enter into the proper mental state for hermetic spellcasting, forming a mental link with the magickal forces they wish to wield. For members of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, this link is called a ventus -- a mental approximation of the chaotic flows of the winds. To initiate your ventus, simply visualize a chaotic swirl of air forming a serpentine rune. To dismiss your ventus, concentrate on withdrawing your connection to the winds.
		+	The spells of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris involve [[evocation]] processes of varying sorts, but they all begin by incanting the spell's name, followed by the target (if any), in the [[Enochian]] tongue. Some spells have additional requirements, such as material components or an environs with respirable air. These will be noted in each spells help file.
		+	The syntax for casting spells is 'cast <spell name> [on <target> | with <component> | using <argument> | without <spell step>]'. See Spellcasting for detailed information.
		+	Your rating for any spell step is determined by a weighted average of certain attributes and skills, listed in the help file. You must have a certain minimum rating (also listed) into order to cast the spell at all, and every point above that rating will increase the effectiveness and decrease the energy cost of the spell. Exactly how much it's decreased depends on the difficulty of the spell step -- ordinary steps will go down to about half of the base rating, while more difficult steps will go down by only a small fraction.
		+	Spells do not have endurance cost, except when cast in combat. The amount of extra energy it takes to cast a combat spell is determined by one's skill at [[legerdemain]].
		+	Almost all combat spells require you to aim them and can potentially be dodged; your attack rating with these spells is determined by your [[wyrding]] along with the relevant magickal control skills (such as [[aeroturgy]] and [[elektraturgy]]) and their mother attributes.
		+	Many spells utilized by Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris require the knowledge of specific runes, some spells may even make use of multiple runes. To find help on Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris runes, simply 'help [[ordo zephyrius mutatoris runes]]'.
		+	==Spellcasting==
		+	To cast a spell, simply type "cast <spell name>". One specifies targets with the preposition "on", and specifies components with the
		+	preposition "with", lastly one specifies spell arguments using the preposition "using".
		+	Certain steps in spellcasting are optional and can be skipped. Skipping a step will tend to make casting the spell more difficult and more
		+	energetically expensive. However, it results in the spell being faster to cast, and can indirectly aid in the spell being cast by skipping steps
		+	that involve magickal skills with which one is less practiced. To skip spellcasting steps, use the preposition "without".
		+	The order of the prepositions matters: first specify targets, then components, then spell arguments, then skipped steps.
		+	To get a description of the steps one uses to cast a spell, set the "verbose spellcasting" depiction to on. This will also give you an
		+	indication of how well one is managing the spellcasting process.
		+	For most spellcasting steps it is possible to fumble the spellcasting process if one's relevant magickal skills and their mother attributes are
		+	insufficient to manage even a skeleton of the correct procedure. The effects of fumbling vary, but typically involve one being overwhelmed by the
		+	type of energies involved in controlling that spell step, resulting in damage to one's body and spiritual energy reserves. For example, if one
		+	fumbled Taxos Anemou, a spell involving [[aeroturgy]], one would receive elemental air damage that affected both one's body and spirit. Skipping
		+	spellcasting steps makes the spell more difficult to control and thus makes fumbling more likely.

Guild Help

You are a member of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, a cabal of magi attuned to meteorological energies.

Like all magi, you require a handful of esoteric skills that will allow you to manipulate the arcane, as well as a deep reserve of spiritual energy. In addition to these skills and energies, you will use several techniques and power stores unique to your order.

Your primary style of spell usage is aeroturgic. While many factors affect the weather, the atmosphere is the medium in which those factors combine with the most dynamism and fungibility. Elemental air energy is thus of great value to a Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris.

Underlying the patterns of the atmosphere is raw chaos, and it is incumbent upon you to reflect this chaos within your spirit. This will both allow you to better manipulate and draw out the deepest mysteries of the weather, and give you a valuable ethos by which to live your life. The universe, like the weather, is fickle, and it takes a certain acceptance and transmission of its fickle nature in order to harmoniously express and manifest one's most personal self. (More on this below.)

Overlaying the patterns of the atmosphere is electricity, the highest and most intense form that the weather takes. Electricity is the fuel for the most powerful and dangerous of your spells.

These three things -- elemental air, chaos, and electricity -- serve as fuel that you can use to manipulate and resonate with any number of natural phenomena. Almost as many of us find comfort in a life at sea as one in the clear skies; some prefer the starry night, others a tempestuous storm. Precipitation is commonly manipulated by the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris, but there have been those that could call upon fiery heat of the desert, or the lensing effects of water droplets, or even the atmospheric vacuum of deep space.

As mentioned a moment ago, a certain type of chaotic ethos is central to your spellcasting prowess. This does not mean that you must be a prancing fool (after the fashion of Discordians) or rampantly destructive (after the fashion of most adventurers) -- though some of us have been those things. It means rather that you must strive to maintain a certain degree of independence and spontaneity within you. As the weather emerges as a system in its own right out of a confluence of forces, so the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris must always strive to be more than the sum of his surroundings; he must always bring something new and uniquely himself to every situation.

While most of our order are wanderers, and while there is no official hierarchy within the cabal, a certain degree of civility is expected among its members. The cabal recognizes that this is rather difficult, as its Magi tend to be strong personalities. Nonetheless, the egregore that you use is maintained by the strength of the ethos that you follow and the energies that you command collectively within your spirits. With inner strife, our magicks are be weakened.

Joining the Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris

In Tetlacana, at coordinates 7, 39, 0 there is an exit "in" to the guildhall.

The guildmaster is Torlira, a female aviar. If you wish to join the Order of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, say 'pledge me to Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris'. To leave them, say 'I renounce Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris'.

The OZM is a chaotic neutral guild. This means that you CANNOT level up unless you are chaotic neutral, or very close to it.

Torlira quietly intones, ~* As a Stalker of the Gate, you could not become a proponent of chaos by joining Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris. *~ to <§>  
                            Arcane  <§> .

Torlira told me I could not join because literacy too low at 40. It seems to require anything over 40. Joined successfully at 41 and 44.

Leaving

If you have left the Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, there is a 4 month wait before you are able to rejoin.

Spells

Before any spells may be cast, you must enter into the proper mental state for hermetic spellcasting, forming a mental link with the magickal forces they wish to wield. For members of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, this link is called a ventus -- a mental approximation of the chaotic flows of the winds. To initiate your ventus, simply visualize a chaotic swirl of air forming a serpentine rune. To dismiss your ventus, concentrate on withdrawing your connection to the winds.

The spells of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris involve evocation processes of varying sorts, but they all begin by incanting the spell's name, followed by the target (if any), in the Enochian tongue. Some spells have additional requirements, such as material components or an environs with respirable air. These will be noted in each spells help file.

The syntax for casting spells is 'cast <spell name> [on <target> | with <component> | using <argument> | without <spell step>]'. See Spellcasting for detailed information.

Your rating for any spell step is determined by a weighted average of certain attributes and skills, listed in the help file. You must have a certain minimum rating (also listed) into order to cast the spell at all, and every point above that rating will increase the effectiveness and decrease the energy cost of the spell. Exactly how much it's decreased depends on the difficulty of the spell step -- ordinary steps will go down to about half of the base rating, while more difficult steps will go down by only a small fraction.

Spells do not have endurance cost, except when cast in combat. The amount of extra energy it takes to cast a combat spell is determined by one's skill at legerdemain.

Almost all combat spells require you to aim them and can potentially be dodged; your attack rating with these spells is determined by your wyrding along with the relevant magickal control skills (such as aeroturgy and elektraturgy) and their mother attributes.

Many spells utilized by Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris require the knowledge of specific runes, some spells may even make use of multiple runes. To find help on Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris runes, simply 'help ordo zephyrius mutatoris runes'.

Spellcasting

To cast a spell, simply type "cast <spell name>". One specifies targets with the preposition "on", and specifies components with the preposition "with", lastly one specifies spell arguments using the preposition "using".

Certain steps in spellcasting are optional and can be skipped. Skipping a step will tend to make casting the spell more difficult and more energetically expensive. However, it results in the spell being faster to cast, and can indirectly aid in the spell being cast by skipping steps that involve magickal skills with which one is less practiced. To skip spellcasting steps, use the preposition "without".

The order of the prepositions matters: first specify targets, then components, then spell arguments, then skipped steps.

To get a description of the steps one uses to cast a spell, set the "verbose spellcasting" depiction to on. This will also give you an indication of how well one is managing the spellcasting process.

For most spellcasting steps it is possible to fumble the spellcasting process if one's relevant magickal skills and their mother attributes are insufficient to manage even a skeleton of the correct procedure. The effects of fumbling vary, but typically involve one being overwhelmed by the type of energies involved in controlling that spell step, resulting in damage to one's body and spiritual energy reserves. For example, if one fumbled Taxos Anemou, a spell involving aeroturgy, one would receive elemental air damage that affected both one's body and spirit. Skipping spellcasting steps makes the spell more difficult to control and thus makes fumbling more likely.

Playstyle

Early Game (levels 0-20): Inconclusive, but playstyle seems to be based around summoning things (Concalo) and then throwing down damage-over-time effects with Squall/Tornado, while keeping yourself protected and punishing attacks with Electrica.

Early-Midgame (Levels 20-??): You can start relying on things like flight (drift) and fog for dodgy defence; magick dart/dust will help a lot and are powerful spells in their own right if not thematically satisfying. Tornado is still a good opener - buff up, open with that, and fling magick darts at them. Bring summons if you don't mind the exp hit while you spell (heh) others' doom.

But that's just what works for me and I'm hardly an expert; your mileage may vary!

It seems that better summons get unlocked with more skills, or perhaps greater perfection in the skills for Concalo, but I'm still looking into this.
