Supremacy

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...

Are the start and end point of the lighning outside the body of the caster? Either - More difficult to be outside Is the end point posible of being movable, or has to be static? The end point is set while they build up the 'charge' Could the lightning trajectory be changed if, for example, a sword is near it's trajectory (iron is better conducter than air)? Hmm... Not right now but this is a good idea Does the caster have control over the trajectory? I was under the impression it should move in a straight line but it could be changed. Opinions on this?

I'll try to rephrase: Essentially necromancers could do fire and lightning. All I was saying is Fire evocation is possible while fire necromancy existed. Therefore the same is applied to electrical evocation. That and the MAT has already confirmed electrical evocation is possible therefore there is no conflict between the two. Electrical Evocation is creating lightning via Arcane means just like all other types of evocation. Necromancy created lightning through power given by Iblees. As for electrical evocation having a chance to kill randomly like in real life... I feel that is overpowered however I do understand it is realistic since IRL any amount of electricity has a chance of killing you. In a fantasy setting though being killed by a tiny spark isn't going to be good for RP. When creating a lightning bolt the evocationist specifies the origin and the target. The further away the target the weaker the bolt. Is that not clear? If so inform me so it may be made more clear. This is the quote which outlines that detail. If it needs clarification inform me.

Undead lightning was given power by Iblees I believe. There is no need to explain that if fire evocation continues on while necromancers had their own type of fire. The MAT has already confirmed there may be lightning evocation and necromancy lightning so they are not in conflict. As for your other suggestions, I'm not sure how that would be incorporated so any suggestions on the such are appreciated. As for realism... We need not always follow that as the goal is to not end up with 100% realistic anything and perhaps it would be overpowered if that occurred.

Note: Electrical Evocation ((DeepChrome, Devianart)) Introduction: Electrical Evocation is the arcane magic form whereby a mage creates Electrical bolts for his or her purposes. Unlike other types of Evocation electrical bolts is intended to be much more difficult to control due to its high speed and high energy nature. Mages who specialize in electrical evocation will be able to form electrical bolts and streams of electricity to electrocute their targets. However, electrical evocation requires much more energy than for example fire and therefore a single electrical bolt requires much more energy than a fireball. This however is made up for by the fact the lightning bolt is somewhat equal in power to the two fireballs which could be made in the same time period. This magic is intended to add a form of electrical manipulation which has many times been enquired about in magic Q&A however it was never recorded. The use of electrical Evocation: A electrical evocationist creates their electrical by creating a charge between their source point and their target location. A small amount of electrical requires a great amount of energy and the further the electrical or electrical charge is from the mage the more difficult the creation of the electrical will become. For example a novice evocationist of a mere 6 weeks may only just be able to create an electrical current which may jump the width of his/her outstretched hands. electrical evocation always will result in a fast moving product. In no way can a electrical evocationist form an 'electrical orb' as a fire evocationist may form a 'fireball'. As a general rule electrical evocation takes longer than other types of evocation but makes up for this with powerful results. A fire evocationist for example may be able to create and throw multiple (2+) fireballs in the time a electrical evocationist of a similar level can create a single electrical bolt. It is assumed that an electrical mage will be more vulnerable to an instantaneous attack. However, if a situation is to occur where they are allowed enough time to build up and cast their spell (For example an extended stand off) they will be more powerful than if surprised. When it comes to the difficulty of creating an electrical bolt there are a few factors which influence the difficulty: Distance between two points Number of electrical points at once Distance from mage Power of bolt Distance between two points: Quitte obviously the longer a bolt of electricity the more difficult it will be to create. As an evocationist becomes more and more proficient at evocation they will be able to create electrical currents which jump greater distances. However, those who are not adept at electrical evocation are almost incapable of generating a current which jumps between themselves and another object. It becomes much more difficult to have a current jump between two points which are non self, than between two points on the mage's person such as between their hands. This therefore limits those who are not yet adept to be unable to create electrical bolts, just as fire evolutionists are unable to create fireballs until they are adept. Number of Electrical Points at Once: Just as a telekinetic's ability to weight decreases exponentially when more than one object is lifted so does the power of an evocatoinist when creating more than one electrical bolt at once. Creating one electrical bolt or even a small spark is already difficult and the creation of increasing numbers of such cause the power to decrease with each new spark/bolt. ((Kirlian Photography)) Distance from Mage: As the intended origin and target point grow in distance from the mage the power of the bolt will become less and less. This power however is constant up until 15m. After such a distance power decreases linearly. Additionally some things are altogether impossible or incredibly difficult to manipulate: Strengths: An electrical evocationist is capable of producing powerful electrical bolts Bolts may travel from any point to point with speed and reliable accuracy. Weaknesses: Electrical evocation takes a greater amount of time to produce a bolt than other types of evocation Electrical evocation is dangerous to learn and during some phases of learning the mage can be incapable of producing any spark which will not injure themselves. The requirements: Requires a MA for Electrical Evocation Requires intellect to be able to learn magic (just as normal mages do). Evidence the character has put some effort into experimenting and understanding electricity. Progression over time: Electrical Evocation will take a similar amount of time to learn as all other Arcane Magic types. I have broken down the progression into a rough order so that it may be known. Add an average of 2-3 weeks if self taught or 1.5-2 weeks if it is ones second type of Arcane magic or if extensive research has been done into lightning or electricity by the character (Must be their own research and not read). No weeks are added if the student has a teacher. First Stage Novice Evocationist Little sparks at all are possible. (0-2 weeks) [1/10] Second Stage Novice Evocationist: Sparks can begin to be produced. These sparks can barely deliver any charge and completely drain the mage(2-4 weeks) Third Stage Novice Evocationist: Capable of creating small sparks able to lightly shock anything on touch. Up to 5 sparks can be produced. After 15 sparks in a short time the mage will feel very drained. This grows over the coming weeks.(4-7 Weeks) ((Yuzchris, Devianart)) Evocationist: Capable of creating electrical bolts which on touch is capable of inducing medium shock and small burns. Able to do this within 30 centimeters. Small bolts can be easily produced which jump between two points at a distance.(6-7 weeks) [5/10] Impotent Phase: As the evocationist's power grows he/she becomes incapable of controlling the electrical power they are capable of producing at this point. At this point most, if not all electrical evocation attempted to be done will be overdone and shock the user as they adapt to their increasing abilities. (7-9 weeks) [Essentially incapable of electrical evocation] Adept Evocationist: Capable of creating electrical bolts which is capable of inducing medium shocks. Able to do this within 35 centimeters. Medium bolts can be produced which jump between two points at a distance. electrical bolts are essentially as powerful but take longer to produce than fireballs at this point. Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning like strike with low reliability.(9 -12 weeks) [6/10] Masterful Evocationist: Capable of creating medium-large electrical bolts capable of inducing a slightly more powerful effect than a fire evocationist of the same abilities however they take more time to produce. Large bolts can easily jump between two points at a distance. Electrical bolts are more powerful than equivalent fireballs but still take longer to produce (Essentially equal at this phase. Two fireballs could be produced in the same time it would take to make one bolt of equal power) Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning like strike with high reliability.(19-24 weeks) [9/10] Grand Master Evocationist: Capable of creating very large electrical bolts capable of inducing a slightly more powerful effect than a fire evocationist of the same abilities however they take more time to produce. Large bolts can easily jump between two points at a distance. Electrical bolts are more powerful than equivalent fireballs but still take longer to produce (Essentially equal at this phase. Two fireballs could be produced in the same time it would take to make one bolt of equal power) Electrical bolts may be called down from above to produce a lightning strike with very high reliability. [24+ weeks] Note: Electrical evocationists are expected to continue to randomly suffer 'Impotent stages' for a few days every few weeks. 3 days a month would be a reasonable suggestion. Side notes: Electrical bolts are attracted to large amounts of iron or gold. If more than 3 blocks are arranged in continuous line, all electrical shocks within 15m will be attracted to them instead of the intended target. Electrical bolts can not be projected through metal bars as they are attracted to the bars and unable to pass through. RP Example Situations: Electrical Evocationist Highly Adept Bolt [7/10]: Electrical Evocationist vs. Bandit [8/10]: Electrical Evocationist Surprise [4/10]: Inept Stage #1: New Student Practice (Fail) [First 1-3 weeks]: New Student Practice (Successes) [First 2-4 weeks]: Grandmaster Halfling vs. Orc:
