Evocation
Tapping into rawer elements of magic, evocation creates spontaneous effects often without tangible form such as light or fire.

Evocation is a magical art that focuses on the manipulation and control of elemental energies and forces. Evocation is often associated with the direct manipulation of raw power and the ability to unleash destructive or transformative forces. Practitioners of evocation, known as evokers, harness the elemental energies present in the world around them or tap into metaphysical realms to bring forth and direct these forces.
Evocation spells involve the manipulation and control of elemental energies and forces. These spells allow practitioners, known as evokers, to harness raw power and unleash destructive or transformative forces. Evokers can draw upon the elemental energies present in the world or tap into metaphysical realms to create powerful effects. Common evocation spells include conjuring fireballs, summoning lightning bolts, creating shockwaves, and generating blasts of ice or wind. Evocation magic focuses on direct, often offensive, applications of magic, making it a potent tool for both combat and environmental manipulation.
- Magical Overload: Improper control or excessive use of evocation spells can lead to magical overload, causing the caster to lose control of the spell and resulting in dangerous backlashes.
- Elemental Resistance: Some beings, creatures, or entities possess inherent resistance or immunity to elemental magic. Attempting to evoke elemental forces against such foes may prove ineffective or, in extreme cases, provoke retaliation.
- Geographical Constraints: The availability and potency of elemental energies can vary by location. Evokers may find it easier to harness certain elements in specific geographical areas, limiting their flexibility when traveling.
- Alignment with Elemental Affinities: An evoker's alignment with elemental affinities can influence their effectiveness. For instance, a fire-aligned evoker may struggle to manipulate water-based magic and vice versa, necessitating collaboration with other practitioners for well-rounded spellcasting.
