Spells - Aeromancy
Aeromancers are generally capricious in nature. They deal with the winds and storms of the world channelling the energies that can bring destruction as easily as life, hence their dual nature.
They can often be found wandering the great heights of mountain trails, seeking oneness with their element. The ‘clean air’ as they call it calms them and great the Aeromancer Ritualists of old would build circles of power atop mountains and high plateau’s in order to be closer to the heavens and the high winds that power their magic.
Prior to the war, Aeromancers would often build tall towers in the cities as well as in the countryside to achieve the heights they sought to draw the purest power. Scholars of such things bemoaned this, saying that a mage does not require proximity to his chosen source, but Aeromancers ignored such practical advice, and still do.
No two Aeromancers are the same, “as different as the clouds” is a term sometimes used. Some have airy floating qualities that seem to drift through their lives like a tranquil summer’s breeze, whereas others are tempestuous like a winter storm quick to anger and violence. Then there are those more brooding awaiting the right time to unleash the fury of the skies.
