Manastorm
A manastorm is an apocalypse level event caused by an imbalance in the mana of the world. When enough hungry mages delve too deeply into Avaria's leylines or when the flow of mana is otherwise corrupted the primal elements drift out of balance. This imbalance will cause all manner of arcane phenomenon as the world tries to heal itself. If the wound in the mana stream is left unhealed for too long the delicate weave of mana will collapse and a manastorm will be born.
Those few who have survives such an experience describe it as the ending of the world, and it truly is. No civilisation can survive the direct wrath of a manastorm, building are picked from the earth and tossed into the wind like flowers, the very ground is reshaped and the sky bleeds fire.
A manastorm will normally rage for a month or so before the arcane winds finally calm and the balance has been restored.
Manifestation
The Manastorm rages like a hurricane or arcane winds affecting all it touches. The raw stuff of creation and destruction ravages the land, flora and fauna grow at a hyper-accelerated rate or wither and die depending on which way these winds blow.
The earth is rent and reshaped, mountains are flattened and the seas roil and spill across the land. In the skies above the elements are unleashed, lightning lances the sky while firestorms rage. However, the most dangerous effect of a manastorm is the weakening of the barrier between realms and the hungry demons and other abominations that pour into the material world, eager for destruction.
When the destruction has subsided the excess mana collects in sites known as catalysts and forms Avarite crystals.
Localization
A manastorm will typically rage over the area where the arcane imbalance began. Although its effects will be present all over Avaria.
