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

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.

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.

 +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.

-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 syntax for casting spells is 'cast <spell name> [on <target> | with <component> | using <argument> | without <spell step>]'. See Spellcasting for detailed information.
-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.+Your rating for any spell step is determined by a weighted average of certain attributes and skills, listed in the help file.

-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+

- 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.+

- +
- 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.+

- 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+

- 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.+

- 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.+

- 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. The osprey's call, though not at all spectacular, is one of the most pleasing and spiritually+

- 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.)+

- +
- 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.+

- 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.+

- 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.+

- 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.+

- +
- 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.+

- 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:+

- 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+

- 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.+

- 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 of themselves and their friends. 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.+

- 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.+

- 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.+

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

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


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.

Required and bonus specialties

            Bonus    Min
Literacy              2
Prose                 2

So that's 4 intellect specialties.

End of spoiler information.

Skills

Aerina is available in the guildhall for training.

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.

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.
