Summer holidays are a much-awaited time for students as it offers a break from the regular routine of school. These holidays are a time to relax, recharge and indulge in various activities. One of the most exciting parts of summer holidays is the opportunity to go on vacation and explore new places. During the summer holidays, students have the freedom to spend their time as they please. Some may choose to go on family vacations, while others may opt for summer camps or classes to learn something new. These holidays are also a chance to catch up on hobbies and interests that may have taken a backseat during the school year.
Abjuration - Gluttony
A leviathan in a puzzle. A sarg has banished itself to its own private pocket dimension between the planes, nestled so deep into a maze of magical wards and safeguards that not even the god of death can reach it. A sarg sustains itself by siphoning the souls of the dead into its waiting maw, trapping them within. Sargs are of greatest danger to souls passing into the afterlife and sometimes those travelling between planes.
Upon being slain, the Tulpa uses a combination of Gate and Wish to remove itself from a dead form into another plane where it regenerates and summons a new host. But the core differences are that certain spells require higher levels of complexity in order to cast, whilst others that require less focus can be elevated to a higher sphere through a process known as arcanus maxima , wherein additional arcane words are used and more intricate movements are made to bring the spell enhance the spells effects.
These holidays are also a chance to catch up on hobbies and interests that may have taken a backseat during the school year. Summer holidays are the perfect time to take a break from academics and focus on personal growth and development. It is a time to engage in physical activities like swimming, playing outdoor games or going for hikes.
Magic System
Magic originates from the power of deities (also referred to as Patrons or “oracles” but are different to the class) who oversee the world from another dimension. These beings are responsible for the planet’s construction, including filling the ground with veins through which magic can flow and nourish the world’s entities. They also take the roles of Patrons to the different classes. The deities are who Oracles contact and call upon to work their magic, as well as being generally responsible for the main religions across the world.
Mages must channel their magical abilities through an enriched crystal which will have an ‘alignment’ depending on what magical vein energised it. Some classes favor certain alignments, while others can manipulate them all equally. For example, an Elementalist could use multiple crystals while a White Mage may only be able to utilise a crystal charged with light magic. While there are technically individual alignments for each patron deity, they are effectively grouped into elemental, spiritual, war and physical kinds.
Elemental (fire/water/earth etc.): - Chemist | Black Mage | Sorcerer | Arcanist | Green Mage | Elementalist | Geomancer | Spellblade
Spiritual (‘light/dark’): - White Mage | Healer | Seer | Spiritmaster | Oracle | Illusionist | Necromancer | Beastmaster | Animist | Sage
War (fighting): - Freelancer | Squire | Warrior | Knight | Sentinel | Berserker | Barbarian | Monk | Defender | Dragoon | Fencer | Thief | Ninja | Trickster | Juggler | Saboteur | Gambler | Dark Knight | Ranger | Archer | Sniper
Physical (time/space): - Scholar | Wayfarer | Merchant | Dancer | Blue Mage | Vampire | Bard | Time Mage | Astrologer | Machinist | Technicalist
An Example: ResurrectionThe process of total resurrection is not a short one. Compared to the partial resurrection able to be performed by Necromancers (reanimation), permanent and non-damaging revival requires multiple, skilled classes and a lot of patience.
If it were a recipe, the main ingredients would be; a dead person (or animal/plant), a Spiritmaster, an Oracle, a Time Mage, a Healer and food to sustain themselves for a few days. These are quite expensive ingredients, because the classes involved must be around lv. 30 (so, around 45 years old) in order to have the right abilities for the job.
The Time Mage is important - their job in the process is to reverse the effects of decomposition and keep them there during the resurrection so the revived being isn’t brain-dead and rotting from the inside out. This isn’t easy. Time Mages themselves are pretty rare, let alone ones with the knowledge and practice to be able to hold someone in what is essentially a different reality.
When the corpse has been dialed back to optimum freshness, the Spiritmaster must locate their soul within the magical plane and invite them back to their body. Sometimes the being is resistant and simply doesn’t want to be revived, and the Spiritmaster cannot change this desire. If it agrees, they must then ‘stitch’ their soul back into their body, which is difficult, to say the least.
Finally, the Oracle must contact both their own Patron and the Patron of the deceased. It’s comparable to ringing up a governmental office with lots of “please hold” and “let me transfer you to someone else” happening. It’s not uncommon for them to also consult with a lot of miscellaneous Patrons in the process to make sure it’s cool to bring the dead back to life permanently. As such, it can take days for everyone involved to come to a decision.
If all is well, the Oracle then channels the Patrons’ wills through their body (very exhausting) and the corpse is returned to its state before death. The Healer must act quickly to solve any injuries or sickness that caused death in the first place, or the revived being will die again and their time would have been wasted.
This process is long and tiring, so it didn’t take long for people to start monetising it. Resurrection stations are present around the world and each charges a hefty fee that ensures that the mages involved are considerably well-off. Most people simply can’t afford it so a good portion of the dead are left that way.
The study of time and fate, specifically for the purposes of its manipulation, often crossing over in the Transmutation school of magic. Dunamis is "the primal magical energy of potentiality and actuality, an anticipatory arcane force that helps shape the multiverse and might very well be what holds its elements together, like an infinite web of unseen tethers. Dunamancers are able to twist fate and project potential destinies into a reality or shift the unseen force of gravity to their will, such as the warriors of the Orders Vaults.
These activities not only keep students fit but also provide an opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. Apart from physical activities, summer holidays also offer a chance to explore creative pursuits. Many students choose to enroll in art workshops, music classes or dance lessons to enhance their creative skills. This helps in nurturing their talents and broadening their horizons. Moreover, summer holidays are an ideal time to catch up on reading. Students can choose to read books that interest them and expand their knowledge. It is also a good opportunity to pick up new hobbies like gardening, cooking or painting. These activities not only help in personal development but also provide a sense of accomplishment. In addition to all the fun and relaxation, summer holidays should also include some time for academic enrichment. Students can utilize this time to revise the topics learned in the previous academic year or explore new subjects of interest. This ensures that they stay ahead in their studies and are well-prepared for the upcoming school year. Overall, summer holidays are a time of freedom, fun and personal growth. It is important for students to make the most of this time and engage in activities that contribute to their overall development. Whether it is exploring new places, learning new skills or pursuing hobbies, summer holidays offer a world of opportunities..
