Conjuring Magic


Conjures are beings created by a physical element (paint), magical element catalyst, thought and a magical phrase basically out of thin air.

When Leonardo Da Vinci first discovered this magical ability in Artesia,

it changed him and the realm forever…

He one said:

“There is always bad in a good decision and good in a bad decision.  Life is like that”

– Leonardo Da Vinci (in Artesia)

There are two methods to Conjure something into existence in the realm:

A. Conjuring an already existing artwork/conjure card from the realm.

OR

B. Creating a new artwork and then shrinking it down into a conjure card, then conjuring it later.

Steps and process for creating a conjure card:

example:
“Artesia Draco Animari”
Animate Dragon (in) Artesia

Requirement 1.

Create Art or use a memory of existing conjures – A human Sorcerer can conjure with or without painting or doing art for common conjures like silver knights as example but generally the first step is creating good enough artwork. Common conjure items, people, creatures, weapons, etc. do not need a card unless that item doesn’t exist in the realm currently. All others require painting first and then the shrinking process into creation of a Conjure Card. Painting a new painting with artesium does not require much of the magical element however shrinking one into a useable conjure card does! thats where most of the magic is after all.

Requirement 2.

Artesium Supply and a Conjuring Paintbrush Wand – A human sorcerer must have an ample supply of artesium (that’s the magical catalyst element). Every conjured being, item, creature, monster, etc has an artesium value that must be present to conjure that thing into reality. How does the system know you have enough in your possession? Why your magical wand brush must have touched the paint with the element! Like a magnet with a magical magnetic field the artesium is “aligned” to one sorcerer or another through the use of the brush wand which focuses it toward the thoughts of the human magical sorcerer who is conjuring. it knows how much is around you and where to take it from magically once you dip your brush in a supply. Did you know that there is Blue artesium and Red-orange artesium? Blue is untainted by evil. Red or a combination or red and orange etc is tainted by the dark forces and evil.

Requirement 3.

Magical Phrase (Latin) –  Thirdly, a sorcerer needs to know the Latin magical phrase to bring the conjure into existence or a phrase to shrink an artwork into a conjure card. The realm is slowly learning english however the magical language is still Latin because Leonardo Da Vinci made it that way. If the “thing” you are trying to conjure into existence is too modern or has too  many complex explosive mechanisms or is a weapon of mass destruction, chances are it will not be in the Latin language. This means you cannot conjure it however sometimes, a word in Latin slips by the true meaning and the realm allows it. The word “tank” comes to mind. Back in Leonardo’s day, tanks were very ideas or possibly a holding medium, not the mechanical nightmare of the modern centuries however it works because the word exists and the realm relies on the sorcerer’s knowledge. but something like “nuclear weapon” would never work as example.

To make a Conjure Card from Art?

The Next Step after painting or creating with art tools is to  -> shrink the Artwork down into a Conjure Card!

The Step after creating the artwork (if the sorcerer is trying to make conjure cards) is to find the proper Latin phrase and enough artesium paint on the brush to do the creating conjure card step. The most common phrase of Shrinking is ”

The shrinking process effectively uses a lot of artesium depending on the conjure card values and stats and type you are creating, the more skilled a sorcerer you become, the better stats and hit points etc and valuable your conjure card will become. You will also become more efficient at shrinking, costing you less to conjure the cards. But the shrinking process is where the Conjure card becomes a real usable and magical item in the realm. Other sorcerer’s do not need to create a Card as they can just cast lower valued conjures and be happy however stronger, more useful or rarer type cards require a conjure card to capture all of the thought and abilities into a card. some sorcerer’s may also not even be able to conjure a rare card if they are not at a high enough skill level yet.
