ABOUT

Arcane Familiars For some powerful practitioners of the arcane arts, it is not enough to simply conjure fae or fiends in the shape of beasts. The most powerful of mages will shape raw arcane energy into the forms they see fit.

These elemental beings are living tools, extensions of the mage that created them and a physical manifestation of their power.

The more powerful a wizard becomes, the more arcane familiars they may conjure. The power of an archmage may be gleaned by the number of shimmering runes that orbit them. Though these familiars can take many forms, a summoner may only control one type at a time. They can, however, cause their familiars to shift forms and realign as any arcane tool they desire.

Arcane motes are the purest expression of the wizard‘s art. These spheres of shimmering arcane energy slowly orbit their summoner like the planets of the cosmos. Whenever their summoner evokes magic intended to destroy, these orbs rush with the spell in a bombardment of arcane energy, enhancing the spell’s potency.
