Pyromancy Spell-Cypher

"One could never truly do the Aether and its brilliance justice upon mere parchment and paper, with mere inks, quill, and brush. However I'll dedicate my efforts to do the best a mortal could ever hope, to help prepare apprentices in the future for the...sensory overload they will experience their first times peering beyond into the Aether, attempting to work the manna of the world, these vivid and primal forces so beyond our understanding. Though I truly believe at best I shall merely insure they are not blinded, for the experience. For nothing can truly prepare the heart or the mind for their first time touching and feeling the Aether about and within them. However better to try and hope every little bit helps, to honor my fellow apprentices and friends whom did not make it or survive their own first attempt."

Denai Lhe'asea's promise for her work, uttered to the Archmagisters of the Magisterium upon granting her request to go through the Silence, the cutting off of her own gifts of Arcanis beyond her Aethyr Sight, insuring she could never wield arcane magick, merely observe.


The illustrous scholar Denai Lhe'asea, she whom gave up her own gifts of Arcanis to instead pursue the truest of studies, that of Arcanis as a whole, to provide a structured seal, a cypher, a document for each of the eight collegiates to hold dear, to learn the language and linguistics of their connective element. Her works are well known as the guides used today, and each is now a fundamental piece of understanding the arcane arts as we know them. Each collegiate guards their gifted cypher dearly and fiercely, and the Ruby Order is no exception to this rule. Those whom begin to learn to weave the arts of Pyromancy are inherently agreeing to hold dear and guard these lessons and the details of translation and understanding of this secret, with their very lives. To not share with outsiders, to only share with apprentices deemed ready and worthy, to insure that those without proper training and education to prepare them for the strains of wielding the powers of magick could not foolishly attempt such forward and direct communication with one of the primal forces of creation.

The first of her works belong unto us, those of the Ruby Order. The Heart of Flame as she called it, so Doietean named it unto her, is a complete cypher gifted unto her by Doietean and entrusted into our care through her. It is your connection, it is your tie. It is that from which all you will ever need to know to speak unto the forces of flame and fire will ever be found. One simply needs to know how to read it.

Manifestation

Only those touched by the Pyromantic Bond may read what is contained below, and only those granted express permission by a fully licensed and recognized master magister of the Ruby Order! Proceed at your own peril.

Pyromancy Spell Forms
Within, traced out, one can find the various hidden symbols and sigils to study, each and every spell-form. Navigating this, as with any of the eight Cyphers, is a task unto itself, and is purposely difficult and tangled, in part to aid in the training and discipline, as well as aiding to maintain secrecy.

Thank you!!! :D Hoping people like the quote to, just added it. Was inspired by the piece to actually create a character (though I'll need to make a character article later for now we merely have a quote and admittance to her existence and importance noted here)
