Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris
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 aeromantic. 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 Almeria, at coordinates 19, -33 there is an exit eastup into 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'. Initiates may say the command 'advance'.
The OZM is a chaotic neutral guild.

Spells
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.
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.
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.

Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Breath of Air
Relevant Attributes: intelligence
Relevant Skills: two parts aeromancy, two parts conjuration, two parts enchantment and one part breath control
Rating Requirement: fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: three hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
breath of air
Base Energy Costs: five points of spiritual energy and three points of elemental air energy
This spell sends out a miniscule quantity of elemental air to bind to the respiration apparatus of any nearby allies who can use it, including the caster.
This both replenishes their respiration capacity and gives them a measure of improved breath control for a little while.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Breath of Life
Relevant Attributes: two parts intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: three parts evocation, two parts enchantment, two parts symbology, one part aeromancy and one part prestidigitation
Rating Requirement: one hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: four hundred
Difficulty: somewhat difficult
Form of Evocation:
breath of life <target>
Base Energy Costs: ten points of spiritual energy and fifty points of elemental air energy
This spell enchants one's own breath with vital healing energies and puts those energies to work mending a target.
This spell won't work if the caster cannot breathe air or if there is no air around for the caster to breathe. Despite the seeming simplicity and fast-acting nature of this spell, it is somewhat alien to the magickal disciplines available to a Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris, and is thus fairly taxing on his energy reserves.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Call Summons
Relevant Attributes: two parts charisma and one part intelligence
Relevant Skills: ten parts summoning, four parts conjuration and one part aeromancy
Rating Requirement: fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: five hundred
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
call summons
Base Energy Costs: seventy-five points of spiritual energy
This spell allows the careless Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris who has lost his summons to attempt to call them back to him.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Channel Currents
Relevant Attributes: one part intelligence and one part willpower
Relevant Skills: one part aeromancy, one part channeling and one part symbology
Rating Requirement: fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: eight hundred
Difficulty: extraordinarily difficult
Forms of Evocation:
channel currents
channel currents through <target>
Base Energy Costs: one hundred fifty-five points of spiritual energy
This spell taps into the atmospheric air and attempts to withdraw the latent meteoretic energies floating there -- electrical, chaotic, and elemental air --
and convert them into a form usable by the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris. A target object can be specified with the spell. The target object should be composed of these energies in some way, and if it is it will greatly aid in the efficiency of the conversion of spiritual to non-spiritual energy. This is a great boon, as this process is intrinisically rather inefficient, especially for the inexperienced spellcaster. If a target is selected, the object will be damaged and possibly be destroyed by the spellcasting process.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Chaos Lightning
Relevant Attributes: two parts charisma, one part intelligence, one part dexterity and one part perception
Relevant Skills: four parts evocation, two parts aeromancy, one part symbology and one part prestidigitation
Rating Requirement: two hundred eighty
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred
Difficulty: very difficult
Forms of Evocation:
chaos lightning
chaos lightning <target>
Base Energy Costs: thirty points of spiritual energy, fifty points of chaos energy and twenty points of electricity
Fusing chaotic forces with electrical, this difficult and unpredictable effect generates a powerful charge of chaos-infused lightning,
directed at the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris's command.
Development Information: This spell was created by Chaos and is maintained by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Chaoswind
Relevant Attributes: two parts intelligence, two parts charisma and one part dexterity
Relevant Skills: four parts evocation, three parts enchantment, two parts aeromancy, two parts prestidigitation and one part symbology
Rating Requirement: two hundred fifteen
Effective Maximum Rating: five hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
chaoswind
Base Energy Costs: fifteen points of spiritual energy and eighty points of chaos energy
This spell is somewhat unpredictable and a little difficult to control -- wind is unpredictable as is, chaoswind is an oddity unto itself --
but is exceedlingly useful to the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris who finds himself assailed on all sides. The spell enchants the air present with chaotic energies that blast about at one's opponents.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Cloud Form
Relevant Attributes: four parts dexterity, three parts intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: seven parts prestidigitation, four parts enchantment and two parts aeromancy
Rating Requirement: three hundred fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
cloud form <target>
Base Energy Costs: fifty points of elemental air energy
This spell partially transforms one's body into a cloud-like state. The effects are not total enough to have any real effect on one's ability to resist or absorb damage
the purpose of this spell is subtler. While in a cloud form one will be able to gradually pass through or around most substances. One will not need to eat or drink, one will not bleed, and -- though this is sometimes a detriment to a Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris -- one will not even need to breathe. This spell does not normally last very long, but repeated castings can be used to prolong the enchantment. This spell is also notable for its unusual prestidigitory component.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Compression Ram
Relevant Attributes: four parts intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: two parts aeromancy, one part enchantment, one part evocation and one part demolition
Rating Requirement: fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: two hundred fifty
Difficulty: easy
Forms of Evocation:
compression ram
compression ram <target>
Base Energy Costs: forty-five points of spiritual energy
This spell enchants a section of air to compress and decompress rapidly in a way specifically designed to break through large, flat, relatively thin surfaces --
that is, specifically designed to break doors. While some esoteric cabals go to great lengths to learn symbolic mappings that allow the subtle opening of passageways, the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris takes a simpler approach.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Dephlogisticate Air
Relevant Attributes: one part intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: six parts evocation, two parts symbology, one part aeromancy, one part alchemy and one part enchantment
Rating Requirement: one hundred fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
dephlogisticate air
Base Energy Costs: one hundred points of chaos energy
This strange spell attempts to absorb used phlogiston -- a sort of reified combustibility -- from the air.
The effect of this is to make the air more amenable to further combustion by leaving more room for unused phlogiston. The upshot of all this is that attacks of various sorts that are heat-intensive will be greatly augmented. The room air will slowly reach a phlogiston equilibrium and the effect will wear off; this process is hastened by heat attacks, which evolve phlogiston back into the air rather rapidly. An interesting side effect of this spell is that one will end up with a handful of phlogiston. Beings with phlogiston glands often find that consuming the stuff directly accelerates the glandular replenishment process.

Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Direction of the Winds
Relevant Attributes: two parts perception and one part intelligence
Relevant Skills: two parts aeromancy, two parts divination and one part prestidigitation
Rating Requirement: ten
Effective Maximum Rating: one hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
direction of the winds
Base Energy Costs: ten points of spiritual energy
This simple spell is a relative staple of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris; allowing the caster to magickally detect the slightest currents and eddies in the ambient air around them.
The knowledge imparted lets the skilled caster know where the wind has been, and ultimately, where they are.
Development Information: This spell was created by Erebus and is maintained by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Drift
Relevant Attributes: three parts intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: two parts evocation, one part aeromancy and one part enchantment
Rating Requirement: thirty
Effective Maximum Rating: three hundred seventy-five
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
drift <target>
Base Energy Costs: forty-five points of spiritual energy
This spell causes the target to float and drift in the wind, giving him the ability to fly without using wings.
The amount of aerial control granted is not impressive (though those more skilled can mitigate the handicap with their enchantment somewhat), but the power of flight is nonetheless greatly useful, and indeed eminently enjoyable.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Electrical Protection
Relevant Attributes: two parts intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: one part aeromancy, one part enchantment and one part evocation
Rating Requirement: fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: three hundred seventy-five
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
electrical protection for <target>
Base Energy Costs: twenty points of spiritual energy and two points of electricity
This simple enchantment makes Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris highly resistant to electricity for quite a long time.
At higher levels of control, it will make one totally immune to electricity.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Electrical Storm
Relevant Attributes: three parts charisma, two parts intelligence and one part dexterity
Relevant Skills: five parts evocation, five parts summoning, three parts prestidigitation, two parts enchantment, one part aeromancy, one part conjuration and one part symbology
Rating Requirement: six hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: nine hundred
Difficulty: extraordinarily difficult
Form of Evocation:
electrical storm
Base Energy Costs: four hundred points of elemental air energy and six hundred points of electricity
This spell represents the pinnacle of the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris's control over the raw power within the weather. It conjures an electrical storm of immense destructive power.
The storm lasts for a minute (or more, for skilled casters), following the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris, unleashing its fury on every enemy or even potential enemy. A few things should be noted about this spell. One, it will attempt to destroy everything not explicitly befriended by you. Be careful that you do not accidentally slay bystanders. Two, though the magicks invoked are generally controllable, their effects are so powerful that even befriended bystanders -- indeed, even the caster -- have been known to be struck by stray lightning. Electrical protection is strongly recommended for all those who will be anywhere near the electrical storm. Three, this spell requires that one use spirits of a certain composition as a catalyst. At least one entity of lightning (elektros or lightning amalgamal) and at least one entity of the storm (storm amalgamal) must be present throughout the spell's casting process. It is said that having more than one present aids the power of the spell tremendously. It is not clear that this effect scales infinitely upwards, though it has been well established that all present lightning and storm creatures are consumed by the spell upon completion.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Electrification
Relevant Attributes: two parts intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: eight parts evocation, two parts aeromancy, one part conjuration, one part enchantment and one part symbology
Rating Requirement: one hundred fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: four hundred
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
electrify <target>
Base Energy Costs: fifty points of spiritual energy and ten points of electricity
This spell conjures a nimbus of electrical currents to surround the target.
The currents are a sort of protection: anyone coming in contact with the target will receive a nasty electrical shock. The shocks deplete the nimbus, and the nimbus will more gradually deplete on its own. The spell may be cast again to refresh the nimbus before it expires. Though this spell does not provide any real protection against electrical attacks, such attacks do often replenish the charge of the nimbus.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Essence of the Wind
Relevant Attributes: two parts intelligence, two parts charisma and one part dexterity
Relevant Skills: eight parts evocation, four parts enchantment, four parts prestidigitation, three parts symbology and one part aeromancy
Rating Requirement: four hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: eight hundred
Difficulty: very difficult
Form of Evocation:
essence of the wind <target>
Base Energy Costs: one hundred fifty points of elemental air energy
This spell makes the target's body one with the winds. The target will be invulnerable to all attacks except those that directly affect one's essence.
One is also capable of being affected by unusually potent forms of normal damage, and rather severely by vacuum damage.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Feather Mantle

Rating Requirement: two hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
feather mantle around <target>
Base Energy Costs: seventy-four points of elemental air energy
This spell enchants the target piece of armour with the lightness and flexibility of air, reducing its encumberance based on the skill of the caster.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:36 2009.
> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Fog
Relevant Attributes: one part intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: four parts evocation, one part aeromancy, one part conjuration, one part enchantment and one part symbology
Rating Requirement: ninety
Effective Maximum Rating: three hundred
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
fog <target>
Base Energy Costs: sixty points of spiritual energy
This spell conjures and enchants a thick veil of fog around the target which protects them from various attacks.
It is most effective against normal physical attacks, somewhat effective against elemental attacks, and very ineffective against more esoteric, high-energy, or mana-based attacks. It can be cast multiple times around a target to keep the fog replenished and fresh. As the fog absorbs damage, it will gradually become less effective and eventually dissipate.
Development Information: This spell was created by Twilight; the source code was last updated Sun Jul 12 19:32:35 2009.
Mist
Phase: Liquid Typical Color: White Rarity: Very Common Properties: Aqueous, Conductive, Particulate and Translucent Also Known As: Fog and Cloud

Rating Requirement: two hundred seventy-five
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred
Difficulty: very difficult
Forms of Evocation:
lightning bolt
lightning bolt <target>
Base Energy Costs: ninety points of spiritual energy and thirty points of electricity
This spell is complex, but is among the most powerful and effective in Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris's arsenal.
The spell evokes a lightning bolt directed, with a high degree of accuracy, by the caster's finger.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Magick Dart
Relevant Attributes: three parts charisma and two parts intelligence
Relevant Skills: four parts evocation, two parts symbology and one part conjuration
Rating Requirement: one hundred seventy-five
Effective Maximum Rating: four hundred seventy-five
Difficulty: somewhat difficult
Forms of Evocation:
magick dart
magick dart <target>
Base Energy Costs: twenty-three points of spiritual energy
This spell is a combat spell that is somewhat less efficient than others, but has the advantage of dealing pure mana damage.
This makes it something of a utility combat spell, useful for situations in which one's opponents are resistent to the elemental energies that we ordinarily traffick in.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Mind Maelstrom
Relevant Attributes: three parts intelligence, one part dexterity and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: three parts aeromancy, three parts evocation, three parts symbology, three parts prestidigitation and one part conjuration
Rating Requirement: three hundred seventy-five
Effective Maximum Rating: five hundred twenty-five
Difficulty: difficult
Form of Evocation:
mind maelstrom <target>
Base Energy Costs: forty-five points of elemental air energy and fifty-five points of chaos energy
This spell is rarely used by and poorly understood by most. The effect of the spell is to, partly by bioelectrical and partly by magickal means, alter one's brain.
This alteration both induces a degree of temporary malfunction, confusion, or madness, and, more importantly, grants one a large degree of resistence to psychic effects. It is not clear to scholars exactly how the spell works, but it is suspected that it operates by forcing an isomorphism between the target's neural structure and between weather patterns -- though in what way, or what this even means, is less than clear. This spell involves directing atmospheric lightning from the source and so must be cast outside. The psionic protection will last as long as the accompanying mental disorder,and degrade in strength as it does. More skilled casters can get an equal effect with less severe mental disorders.

> Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris Spell: Noctilucent Mist
Relevant Attributes: one part intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: eight parts evocation, four parts aeromancy, two parts symbology, one part conjuration and one part enchantment
Rating Requirement: one hundred fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: four hundred twenty-five
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
noctilucent mist
Base Energy Costs: thirty-nine points of spiritual energy
This spell conjures a noctilucent mist that hangs in the air for a time. The mist works by diffusing an enchanted piece of moonlit cloud through the area.
In generally its effect is to make things more visible. It works to magickally supplant the vision of all present, allowing them to see even through blindness or absolute darkness. It also quickly seeps into and clings to everyone present, causing them to be surrounded by a halo of noctilucent light that outlines them and makes them considerably easier targets. A noctilucent halo also exposes the invisible. The halo will last as long as the affected remains in the noctilucent mist; away from the mist, a halo will fade in relatively short order.

This spell will attempt to magickally charm ordinary birds into becoming one's permanent companions.

Rating Requirement: one hundred fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: seven hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
rainbow butterfly
Base Energy Costs: one hundred points of spiritual energy, one hundred points of elemental air energy and one hundred points of chaos energy
This spell summons an entity that may loosely be called a spirit, though strictly speaking it has no sentience of its own
and is more a projection of the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris's own personality and imagination. This manifestation is a rainbow spirit, a benevolent construct of weather and chaos that manifests as auroric light playing through water droplets in the approximate shape of a butterfly. These do several things. First, as a basis for the rest of their powers, they transform the remaining organic energy in nearby remains into more fungible energy that they use to aid you. Second, they assist you in various ways outside of combat, generally by transferring some of their energy reserves over to you when you are short. Thirdly, they can assist you within combat, expending their energy to blind and attack opponents, or to remove harmful effects that have been placed on you. These creatures are somewhat difficult to conjure: in addition to various energies, they also require a coruscar as a component. But, once summoned, they last for some hours, up to a day for more skilled casters. (One can summon more than one of these creatures at once if one desires.)

Rating Requirement: twenty-five
Effective Maximum Rating: three hundred fifty
Difficulty: easy
Forms of Evocation:
ride the winds
ride the winds <target>
Base Energy Costs: one hundred points of spiritual energy
This spell is a staple for Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris, among the first learned, and sometimes the most commonly used, especially among more the more pacifist members of the order.
One can either give no additional argument, in which case one will ride the winds to a random location, or one can attempt to ride the winds "home" to be returned to Torlira's mountain abode. Though this spell does not require you to be outdoors, it does require there to be air in the atmosphere. Many use this spell frequently as it allows one to attune one's spirit to the chaotic energies in the weather.

Relevant Attributes: one part intelligence and one part charisma
Relevant Skills: ten parts evocation, five parts aeromancy and five parts conjuration
Rating Requirement: three hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred
Difficulty: difficult
Form of Evocation:
scithial armour for <target>
Base Energy Costs: thirty-four points of spiritual energy, one hundred two points of elemental air energy and eleven points of electricity
This spell conjures enchanted armour made of the heavens themselves.
While we generally can rely on spells to protect us, when combat garb is required, this armour is far superior to that forged by smiths. As part of this armour's enchantment is electrical, one will need total electrical protection in order to wear it properly. If the target has wings, then the armour will be suited for them in the form of a pteralorica. Otherwise it will be a normal articulated halfsuit. The duration of the armour depends upon the skill of the spellcaster, but it can be kept, dropped, etc. until it expires. It can also be absorbed with channel currents, though since the energy has already been processed by the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris once, this will be less than fully efficient.

Effective Maximum Rating: seven hundred
Difficulty: somewhat difficult
Forms of Evocation:
scithial bonds
scithial bonds around <target>
Base Energy Costs: forty-five points of spiritual energy and forty-five points of elemental air energy
This spell conjures constraining bonds of pure elemental air to immobilize a target.
The bonds must be maintained by the caster and continually exert their casting cost on him so long as they remain in existence. The bonds will be destroyed either if the caster runs out of spiritual and air energy, or if the victim breaks free or figures out some way to escape. As might be imagined, this spell is less than effective against amorphous or intangible opponents.

Rating Requirement: three hundred fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: six hundred
Difficulty: somewhat difficult
Form of Evocation:
sea's blessing <target>
Base Energy Costs: one hundred fifty points of chaos energy and three hundred points of elemental air energy
This spell, though not flashy, offers many subtle boons to the target. First and foremost is life protection: the blessing of the sea will attempt to protect one from death.
This enchantment is not perfect, but it is quite reliable for a spell that invokes the unpredictable energies of the ocean. The spell also gives a significant measure of luck, a small measure of perception, and a limited amount of protection against various mana energies. It is an esoteric spell and requires much subtlety of the fingers, but the enchantment will last for several hours once established.

seeker spark
seeker spark <target>
Base Energy Costs: five points of spiritual energy and one point of electricity
This spell creates a spark of sorcerous lightning that seeks out its target without fail,
maneuvering as necessary to defeat any ordinary attempt at blocking it and counter any ordinary attempt at evading it. Its effect upon reaching the target is relatively modest, but it has the potential to stun a highly evasive target for long enough to bring more powerful effects to bear.

shrieking gale <target>
Base Energy Costs: seventeen points of spiritual energy
This spell causes a powerful wind to be formed which not only floods an opponent with elemental air,
but also manifests speed and turbulence that create an overwhelmingly intense howling. The sound is such that it frequently stuns and deafens an opponent.

squall
Base Energy Costs: twenty points of spiritual energy and seventy-five points of elemental air energy
This spell conjures squalls of slashing wind that localize around one's enemies and continuously strike at them.
This spell is not fast-acting, in either effect or casting time, but it is a relatively reliable means of defense against large groups. If one is in combat, one's enemies will be targetted, otherwise everyone in the room who is not befriended will be.

Rating Requirement: fifty
Effective Maximum Rating: one thousand
Difficulty: difficult
Form of Evocation:
summon <target>
Base Energy Costs: one hundred fifteen points of spiritual energy
This spell summons and binds a spirit to the service of the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris. Many different types of spirit can be summoned using this spell.
The casting procedure is similar, but more powerful spirits require more ability with the spell. Each extraplanar entity, once summoned, takes a certain amount of concentration and energy to keep around. If fails to maintain the energies required, the spirit will break his bond and attempt to return home -- generally to the Exoma or the plane of elemental air. (If this is not possible, the spirit often dies trying.) Once a spirit has been summoned you may "banish" it if you no longer need its services. The entities one can summon, and their rating and energy requirements, are as follows:
Air Spirit
Rating Requirement: 100
Energies (per minute):
three points of spiritual energy
Water Spirit
Rating Requirement: 125
Energies (per minute):
five points of spiritual energy
Apagion

Rating Requirement: two hundred seventy-five
Effective Maximum Rating: five hundred seventy-five
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
sunlit senses <target>
Base Energy Costs: sixty points of spiritual energy
This spell is relatively advanced and much prized by rising mages. It augments the target's visual capacities with the essence of the sunset, giving them enhanced perception,
a modicum of night vision, and even the ability to directly perceive astral energies. The enchantment lasts for quite a while, but it gradually decreases (much like the sun gradually sets) and must be recast for the enchantment to maintain its full strength. The target of this spell must have at least one eye.

Rating Requirement: one hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: four hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
sylphic pulse within <target>
Base Energy Costs: forty points of spiritual energy and five points of elemental air energy
This spell enchants a weapon with motive cadence borrowed from a sylph, a wild creature of elemental air.
The effect of this spell is to make the weapon much faster and more penetrative. It also pulls one along with it, and while it won't force the wielder to attack someone at random, it will scatter his attacks in combat somewhat, as well as be more taxing on the wielder's endurance. To avoid any accidental injury, the spell must be cast on a weapon that is not currently being wielded.

Form of Evocation:

Base Energy Costs: ten points of elemental air energy, ten points of chaos energy and ten points of electricity
This spell is an ideal personal close combat spell in that it covers the target's hands with a corona of stormclouds, greatly improving the damage they do.

Difficulty: somewhat difficult
Forms of Evocation:
thunderclap
thunderclap <target>
Base Energy Costs: fifty-five points of spiritual energy
This spell creates a wave of sonic force that stuns, slows, and, to a lesser extent, outright damages a target.
The spell has a lengthy casting time and is somewhat difficult, and its most common usage is to debilitate a foe before they realize there is a threat.

Difficulty: difficult
Form of Evocation:
thunderforge
Base Energy Costs: one hundred points of spiritual energy and thirty points of electricity
This spell allows the caster to draw upon the raw power of lightning, and through their delicate magicks interweave that energy into the wielded weapons.
This energy once imbued charges the weapon with fierce electrical energy that will discharge into an enemy once struck. Naturally any weapon able to accept this power must be conductive to electricity.

tornado <target>
Base Energy Costs: forty-one points of spiritual energy
This spell is relatively time-consuming and complex, and, while not as powerful as a lightning bolt, is quite devastating in its own right.
The caster draws out the latent turbulence in his environment and enchants it with refined magickal energies, creating an enormous tornado that rips into an opponent.

Rating Requirement: four hundred
Effective Maximum Rating: seven hundred fifty
Difficulty: extraordinarily difficult
Form of Evocation:
torrential rain
Base Energy Costs: one hundred ninety points of spiritual energy
This spell is an extraordinarily complex and dangerous evocation.
It involves summoning a storm spirit, aiding the spirit in enchanting and charging itself with magickally infused elemental rain, and then directing the deluge against one's enemies once it is unleashed while attempting to avoid harming one's friends or bystanders. If one is in combat, this spell will target one's enemies; if one is not, it will target everyone in the area who is not befriended by you.

Rating Requirement: two hundred twenty-five
Effective Maximum Rating: four hundred fifty
Difficulty: ordinary
Form of Evocation:
wall of wind
Base Energy Costs: one hundred twenty-five points of spiritual energy
This spell conjures a wall of shimmering wind around the caster at the cost of considerable spiritual energy.
This wall serves as a measure of protection, but more importantly, allows a caster to push at the wall and create blasts of wind that target his opponent. None of these blasts are as strong as a properly cast spell, but they serve as a steady and regular way to damage an opponent without being too draining on one's spiritual reserves. A wall of wind puts a steady drain on its user's spiritual energy whether or not it is being used in combat, though this drain diminishes with the caster's skill. To banish a wall after it has been conjured, simple "banish" it.

Rating Requirement: five hundred

Difficulty: very difficult
Form of Evocation:
welkin wings for <target>
Base Energy Costs: three hundred points of chaos energy
Though not common, this is among the most beloved spell in Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris's arsenal, and seeing the presence of the ensuing enchantment is evidence of a a truly accomplished mage.
The welkin wings enchantment was created by the tuatha Rosier. Rosier was an angel of Yehovah who fell when she became enamored with the magicks of the air. The loss of her wings motivated her to delve into spellcraft and construct this spell. This powerful enchantment pulls on the life force of the target to grant them a pair of wings constructed of their raw vital energy. They grant tremendous flight capacity, as well as augmented bodily fortitude and speed. These capacities will fade until the wings fade altogether, though they can be kept up by recasting the spell. Those with existing wings will be granted another pair. The wings are fragile, and if either of them ever becomes fully disabled, the enchantment will break prematurely and both wings will be lost.

wind blast <target>
Base Energy Costs: twelve points of spiritual energy
This spell is a staple combat spell for a mage, allowing him to, without much preparation or prestidigitory fuss, direct a current of elemental air into a targeted blast.
The spell is not very powerful, but it is accurate, fast, and relatively untaxing to one's spiritual reserves.

Form of Evocation:
wind speed <target>
Base Energy Costs: one hundred twenty-seven points of spiritual energy
Among the most famed of Ordo Zephyrius Mutatoris spells, wind speed massively accelerates the target's movements for a brief period of time.
The spell is difficult to control and rather taxing on novice casters, though it does get easier over time. Due to the relative costs and benefits of the spell relative to the target's combat prowess, mages tend to cast this spell on more capable warriors than themselves, though self-targetting is not unheard of.

windsong for <target>
Base Energy Costs: thirty points of spiritual energy and one point of elemental air energy
In order to cast this spell, the Frater Zephyrius Mutatoris must sing a precise musical note, which becomes infused with a tiny bit of elemental air essence.
The harmonious note protectively surrounds the subject of the spell and works to interdict harmful sounds from affecting hir. For a mage reasonably skilled at both spellcasting and singing, this spell can be very effective and quite long-lasting.

This spell is as complex as it is graceful and as cherished as it is rare.
It transforms a chaos rose into a zephyr, manifested as a cloud of rose petals, that accelerates the regeneration of everyone in the area. The amount of acceleration and the duration of the cloud vary with the skill of the spellcaster.
