 +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.

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

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


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.

Required and bonus specialties

                 Bonus    Min
Aeromancy                  1
Arcane lore        1
Centering          1       2
Channeling         1       2
Chaos affinity             1
Enochian                   1
Introspection      1
Legerdemain                1
Literacy           1       2
Memory             1
Prestidigitation           1
Scholarship        1
Telesmatic weapon  1

So that's 3 intelligence, 3 willpower, 2 dexterity specialties.

End of spoiler information.

Skills

Aerina is available in the guildhall for training.

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.
