The Tome of the Ancient and Esoteric Mysteries of the Phantasms of Lyahvi
[Lyahvi Introduction | Lyahvi Principles | Lyahvi Index]
Lyahvi is the magic of the air, of the insubstantial, the invisible, the ethereal, and the illusory. Lyahvian mages are manipulates of light: reflection, refraction, and confusion, with effects faster than the eye and difficult to describe. They are masters of air and other gases, or sound (which travels on the air), and they can summon Asiri and other ethereal to their benefit.
Since trappings the true element within opaque containers has the wrong kind of meaning, surrogate materials are chosen for their relationship with the Lyahvi element. Transparent or translucent material such as gems and glass, and substances able to manipulate light such as mirrors, prisms, or lenses are favored. Red is the hue of choice, so rubies and other red gems are desirable, preferably cut and polished to a sparkling, multi-facedted finish.
The Lyahvi nemesis is earth, represented by the convocation of Fyvria. The essence of Lyahvi is bright, sterile, and unliving. No organic material should be included in a Lyahvian focus.
NOTE: When a mage of any convocation attempts to use a Lyahvi spell to enchant a non-Lyahvi elemental object his EML is penalized:
-10 Secondary (Peleahn/Savorya) elements
-15 Neutral elements (GM discretion)
-20 Tertiary (Jmorvi/Odivshe) elements
-30 Diametric (Fyvria) elements
All animals are Fyvrian elemental objets, and a Shek-Pvar is also deemed to be an elemental object of his own convocation.
