Joining the Azure Magi
Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.
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.

Guild Help Files
You are a member of the Azure Magi of Lost Souls, a guild of powerful aeromancers dedicated to serving chaotic neutrality and all it stands for. The Azure Magi, or wind magi, use wind as a medium for their magickal art. Azure 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 magickal field needed for magi to weave their spells, they may only wear non-encumbering armour and overarmour (rings, amulets, robes, etc...). Also, magi may only wield daggers and staffs, as it is unbecoming of a mage to wield any other type of weapon. Those of the Azure Order also receive a special magickal robe. This robe will protect the mage in combat to a larger degree than any mundane robe and even most magickal ones. A mage may know up to eight spells at any given time. These spells can be changed for other spells at the Azure Magi Guildhall, for a price. There are many spells to choose from, for a list of spells type 'help spells'. Being a Azure Mage, you now have several new skills that affect how well your spells will function. Type 'help azure magi skills' for more information.
For detailed information on casting spells, type 'help casting'.
The Azure Magi also have their own channel for communicating with one another. This channel is accessed via the commands 'azuremage' or 'guild'.
Skill List
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.

==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

===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.

A pearl is required. The amount of type of life force that is
placed into the pearl will be drawn from the caster.

be cast by those of the first level. Hundreds of
inch long spikes made of pure fire are shot into the

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

be. Any magi, level three or higher can cast Flame of
Knowledge.

Usage: say symbol of vengeance [target] <+reason+> [-] in enochian

killing. The symbol shows the target is not in the favour
of the Red Magi. The target will be burdened with the symbol
for a number of levels letting everyone know that he or she

remove an already present symbol from the target. Any mage
of level three or higher can cast a Symbol of Vengeance.

Usage: say fire blood [target] [-] in enochian

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.

casting is utilized, the black flame will be banished.
The same shall happen if a bright red flame is present,
