Evocation

Hold on to something, Chris.

Conjuration is a very cataclysmic and strenuous business.

You'll definitely be safer if you hold on to something.

Don't ask me why, but I grabbed hold of the piano.

I was like, Oh, I'm going to summon some stuff and started summoning, summoning some stuff that really blew the hinges off the doors for me.

And, and really what, what that did for me is that really solidified my, Evocation, the summoning of spirits, is one of my primary practices.

Because as soon as I started tapping into the Watchers, to Enki, it's like the books become stupid.

It's like, how would I even read a book when I can just ask the dude himself? And so that became my big practice, the spirit communication, spirit summoning.

But multiple schools participate.

Often, like, some of the traps are helped by, like, the School of Conjuration in that they, like, summon things, or the School of Evocation in that they, like, you know, a, a, a massive evocation spell happens.

Uh, you know, the School of Illusions, like, mess with your mind.

All of the schools kind of contribute to the traps in a way, and so there will be kind of traps themed after all of the schools, at least in, in Mervok's, like, experience, having seen, you know, even without watching majorly, like, having heard the reports of deaths, um, from the Breaching Festival every year, 'cause there is almost invariably a death every year.

You know, might summon something different, but these summoning traps happen all the time.

Um, so having something like a, you know, Banishment would definitely help you get through a, a trap like that.

And you remember, like, the years that you were asked to participate as faculty in kinda putting together some of the Evocation ones, and realistically, they used delayed a lot to mess with people.

Kinda like delayed fireballs and that kinda stuff in their traps to make you think you triggered a trap with something else, and that it's done, and then the effect happening later on.
