3280 Leaded Slumber¶
Use: Warding control · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 1
Leaden elemental sleep holds a hostile creature still. The target can resist the warding.
3247 The Snapping Ring¶
Use: Warding attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 1
A ring of raw element snaps shut around one creature. It is a damaging warding attack.
3214 Rune Ward¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself or a named companion · Mana: 1
A rune ward improves Guard for you or a companion. It helps defend against aimed attacks.
3281 Heavy Air¶
Use: Warding control · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 2
Dense air briefly holds a creature mid-motion. The effect is a short interruption rather than an ongoing change to its movement speed.
3248 Hand of Gales¶
Use: Bolt attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 3
Hurls a thunderclap of wind as an aimed bolt. A forceful hit can knock the target down.
3215 Fleet Current¶
Use: Support · Targets: Yourself or a named companion · Mana: 3
The air helps you or a companion bear exertion, reducing stamina costs while the ward lasts.
3282 Slipstream¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 3
A personal lattice of deflection improves Guard against aimed attacks.
3249 Element's Favor¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 4
Turns elemental favor into stronger personal Resolve against hostile wardings.
3216 Titan's Sinew¶
Use: Empowerment · Targets: Yourself or a named companion · Mana: 4
Lends borrowed might to you or a companion, improving Attack while it lasts.
3283 Stoneflight¶
Use: Bolt attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 6
Hurls a conjured boulder as an aimed bolt at one hostile creature. Bolt accuracy and the target's evasion determine whether it lands.
3250 Packbearer¶
Use: Utility · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 5
Conjures a floating carrier that follows you. Items placed in it do not weigh on your carried load while the carrier remains.
3217 Rimeglass¶
Use: Utility · Targets: The room · Mana: 5
Glazes the room's footing with treacherous rime. Creatures entering can slip, and those knocked down struggle to stand.
3284 Gathered Vein¶
Use: Empowerment · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 7
Gathers your elemental focus into a personal enhancement of warding Focus. This improves hostile warding accuracy.
3251 Stone Fist¶
Use: Warding attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 8
A stone fist crushes one hostile creature through a warding contest. It deals direct damage rather than holding the creature still.
3218 Quickfire¶
Use: Support · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 7
Briefly shortens casting recovery. Elemental fatigue prevents an immediate repeat when the surge ends.
3285 Veindrinker¶
Use: Warding control · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 10
Drinks mana from a hostile creature and adds the stolen mana to your well. A creature with no pooled mana offers nothing to take.
3252 Vessel Charge¶
Use: Utility · Targets: A held wand · Mana: 8
Feeds another charge into a suitable held wand by spending your mana. The wand's working and charge capacity limit what it can accept.
3219 The Opened Vein¶
Use: Area warding · Targets: Hostile creatures in the room · Mana: 15
Fans gathered elements across hostile creatures in the room. Each creature resists its own warding attack.
3286 Whitefire¶
Use: Warding attack · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 11
Ignites one hostile creature through a damaging warding. A forceful success can leave a burning bleed.
3253 Spellplate¶

Layers raw element around you as personal protection. It improves Guard and Resolve.
3288 Starfall¶
Use: Area maneuver · Targets: Hostile creatures in the room · Mana: 19
Calls burning stone down across hostile creatures in the room. It tests their physical readiness and can knock them down.
3223 The Sundering¶
Use: Warding control · Targets: A hostile creature · Mana: 18
Tears several active workings from a hostile creature by sundering its elemental bonds. A stronger successful warding removes more.
3258 Quickened World¶
Use: Support · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 20
Quickens your armed combat by shortening attack recovery. It is a personal speed ward, distinct from Quickfire's casting surge.
3293 Turnback¶
Use: Protection · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 23
Adds a little Guard and sometimes grants a second defensive chance against an incoming hit. When it intervenes, the better outcome stands.
3263 The Held Hour¶
Use: Utility · Targets: Yourself · Mana: 28
Immediately ends your current recovery and stun. It can be invoked during recovery, but requires a long interval before another use.
