Joining the Azure Magi

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.

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.

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.

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'.  

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.

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.

You say, "pledge me to the Azure Magi" in lyrically-accented Anglic.

-Azure Magi Spell Table-

The spells of the Azure Magi 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.

   Your rating in a spell 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 -- ordinary spells will go down to about half of the base rating, while more difficult spells will go down by only a small fraction.

   The available spells, and your ratings in them, are as follows.  (Spells not castable are deemphasized.)

     breath of air (350)             breath of life (342)            channel currents (313)          chaoswind (324)
     dephlogisticate air (327)       direction of the winds (150)    drift (369)                     essence of the wind (323)
     fog (300)                       lightning bolt (330)            ride the winds (350)            shrieking gale (376)
     summon (302)                    thunderclap (338)               tornado (357)                   torrential rain (321)
     wall of wind (305)              wind blast (300)                wind speed (335)                zephyr (318)

   Almost all combat spells require you to aim them and can potentially be dodged; your attack rating with these spells is always determined by your

telesmatic weapon, aeromancy, and their mother attributes.

   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. More: [document 1 of 2] [return to continue] Spells and other special abilities your character can use may be obtained by joining one of the guilds, associations or offices available in various locations throughout Lost Souls

Individual help is available for each 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.
