[✓] [Awaiting MAT Review] Electrical Evocation [Magic]

[Gladuos 857]

Small error, at the beginning of "Progression over time:" You said telekinesis instead of electrical evocation. :)

Edit:

Also, a few questions. How would a mage go about learning how to manipulate electrical fields? Like learning what creates fire, etc. Surely they would have to learn how lightning is created? And when you mention lightning strikes from the sky, do you mean when clouds are present? If so, would that mean they would also need to figure out how to manipulate the positive and negative charges in the cloud? Not only manipulate the charges, but also manipulate it correctly, like negative on the bottom and positive on the top? That is all, thank you.

I believe all one would need to use this form of Evocation magic is have a deep understanding of wind and fire, I do not think it needs its own element. However this guide could be used as perhaps a template for other Evocation types….and even Arcane Magic types in–general!

[Agnub 605]

I've always though of lightning as an undead specific ability. Should this lore get accepted don't be surprised if anybody found using lightning is hanged or burned at the stake for undead worship (at least in my nations).

The issue with that being that lightning is not actually wind or fire nor is it both. Though if the MAT thinks it should be only created by those who can do wind and fire that is possible. Though I feel that there could be two ways to electrical evocation.

If one can evoke the arcane, why can they not evoke lightning?

Whenever it is written in magic Q&A or in an app it is suggested lore is written... So... Yes...

[Sagwort 832]

Simple ideas...simple ideas, we like our science, but we are no rocket scientists. Using the four elements, other elements can be made. (ie: fire and earth= lava or wind and water= ice)

[Nefarious Aus Shitpost 891]

Wind and fire is smoke, not lightning.

[Dohvi 622]

Yea...if this gets accepted, I'm fairly sure I'll write up a MA to learn it. +1

On a scientific scale lightning does go under, fire and air, adding on with Ambros,

Lightning is the build up of heated pressured heat with compressed air, To build heat you must know fire evocation, to compress air you would need to know air evocation, So it all works out the same,

Smoke is just the build up of fire, nothing about wind or air about it unless you wish to control it.

[Supremacy 3357]

If one wished to specialise in conjuring lightning though would they not simply attempt such? Why must one go through fire and air?

Someone moving through, fire and air, (If you really want a diverse explanation) Water crystals in the air compressed by wind, compounded together with a negative energy field producing heat, when the two collide or have enough force it will create a spark and hurdle towards the ground, also known as lightning. That is how normal lightning known today is created, I would think that evocation lightning would follow in the same, as you are mixing towards two elements. Mixing the both elements also creates a more diverse RolePlay action.

[Supremacy 3357]

Well... To be honest I can't see any other objections to this other than the Air-Fire lightning one, and that is something for the MAT to decide on... So... Should this be placed up for review?

[E__V__O 1984]

Oh yes, not my word to say, sorry Kalenz, all up for the Magic Team to decide upon,

The magic team are currently reviewing other forums and things at the moment they should or will post here soon, from in a few hours on wards. Although I think Ambros will take this one under review even though it means nothing besides the whole MAT is looking at this and they all need to be online at one given time so they can review it, GoodLuck :D

Lightning, on a scientific scale, has nothing to do with air... It has nothing to do with fire either, but some things are similar. Lightning is electric energy passing through air, but no knowledge of air should be required to make it, yet nothing to do with fire either, as fire is energy releaced by the transformation of one substance into another, creating heat and light, and lightning is electric energy passing through air and heating it up, creating heat and light.

Now, for creating air evocation, I would think the mage would have to have knowledge of how the wind works, what exists in the air, and that air is something (something not many people would know), then try to recreate in their mind the effects they want made and bring it from the void.

For fire, a mage has to understand that it's hot, that it produces smoke, that it needs air to burn, and that something needs to be burning. Then he must create all these in his mind and bring it from the void.

For Lightning, a mage would have to figure out that lightning travels from one point to another, that it's almost instantaneaous, that it produces light, sound, and heat, and that it is extremely great energy source. Then he must create all these in his mind and bring it from the void.

Natural lightning has absolutely nothing to do with fire.

In the real world, ice crystals (vaporised water frozen by the low temperature of the upper atmosphere) form in what is commonly known as clouds. The collision between particles in the clouds results in certain particles becoming polarised. Updraft causes the lighter particles, carrying a positive charge, to congregate at the top of the cloud, while the heavier, negatively charged particles congregate at the bottom. As the negative charge at the bottom of the cloud grows, the ground becomes more positively charged as electrons in the atoms of the ground are repelled by the growing negative charge in cloud. When the potential energy grows large enough to bridge the gap between the positive charge of the ground and the negative charge of the cloud, the stored charge will arc to the ground, finding the route of least resistance to travel down.

The negativity charged particles, are created by heat, the heat draws them closer together so they form a negatively charged cloud, <-- this is the basics of it, even if it only says in the lightning Wikipedia page, this is how negative charged particles occur. Remember Wikipedia is a sharing website anyone can change or add wrong facts, try to use an appropriated science website next time.
