Electromancy

Electromancy is the manipulation of electromagnetic forces, granting practitioners, known as Electromancers, the ability to control magnetism and static electricity. This power allows them to generate electrical charges, create magnetic fields, and manipulate metallic objects with some level of precision. Electromancers often draw energy from their surroundings, amplifying their abilities through conductive materials and environmental electromagnetic fields.
One of the defining features of Electromancy is the ability to animate Electrocal Constructs—objects given a semblance of life through magnetic fields and charged particles through use of one of the Soulreaved. These constructs often serve as extensions of the Electromancer's will, capable of acting as tools, protectors, or even weapons in combat.

Effect

The mastery of Electromancy grants its practitioners remarkable abilities and practical advantages:


Environmental Interaction: Electromancers can manipulate conductive materials, allowing them to move metal objects, disarm foes, or create defensive shields from magnetic fields.

Energy Generation: The ability to generate and channel electricity enables Electromancers to power machines, recharge batteries, or light dark spaces. This makes them invaluable in technological environments.

Combat Utility: Electromancers can create bursts of static electricity to stun or incapacitate enemies or generate controlled electrical arcs to target specific foes with precision.

Construct Creation: Magnetic Constructs serve as versatile allies, capable of performing tasks, defending their creator, or distracting opponents. Their durability and functionality depend on the materials available and the Electromancer’s skill.

Magnetic Sensing: Electromancers develop an acute sense of nearby magnetic fields and conductive materials, enhancing their spatial awareness and tactical decision-making.

These abilities make Electromancers highly adaptable in various scenarios, from engineering and technology to combat and defense.

Side/Secondary Effects

While Electromancy is a powerful and versatile art, it is not without its limitations and risks:

Energy Dependency:

Electromancers are reliant on the availability of conductive materials and strong electromagnetic fields. In areas with low electrical energy or disrupted magnetic fields, their abilities are significantly weakened.

Physical Strain:

Overuse of electromagnetic powers can lead to muscle fatigue, nerve pain, and even temporary paralysis. Generating powerful magnetic fields or electrical discharges can take a toll on the practitioner’s body.

Uncontrolled Discharges:

High-energy electrical generation may result in unintended static shocks, sparking fires, or damaging nearby electronics. Electromancers must remain focused to avoid collateral damage.

Interference with Technology:

While an Electromancer can power machines, their presence may inadvertently disrupt sensitive electronic devices, such as communication systems or medical equipment.

Magnetic Constructs’ Instability:

Magnetic Constructs, though useful, are inherently unstable. They may lose cohesion or react unpredictably if the Electromancer’s focus wavers or if the surrounding magnetic field is disrupted.

Electromagnetic Sensitivity:

Prolonged use of Electromancy can heighten the practitioner’s sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, causing discomfort or disorientation in areas with high electromagnetic interference.

Electromancy is both a practical and demanding discipline, offering immense potential while requiring discipline and awareness of its inherent risks. Practitioners must strike a balance between power and precision, ensuring their abilities serve their purposes without unintended consequences.
