Odivshe is the magic of slow, cool darkness, of water and ice, the opposite of fire and action. Odivshe mages study and work their spells on water and shadow, ice and cold. They are sometimes called the wizards of gloom. Odivshe foci invariably incorporate water and/or ice.

As well as these mundane elements, the Odivshe sometimes manipulate ethereal water. This "substance" takes a variety of forms, generally similar to ordinary water, but thinner, sometimes invisible. often it is described as an "icy pallor that robs away the breath and drowns the very spirit with its dark, clinging, gloom".

It takes about twice as long to drown in ethereal water, although this may be small comfort to those who have the experience. In general, ethereal water is easier to walk/run through than mundane water (half air movement rates), and more difficult to swim in (double fatigue).

The Odivshe use it because it is easier to manipulate than mundane water. Ethereal water affects ethereal creatures as mundane water affects mundane creatures. It will also quench ethereal fire.

NOTE: when a mage of any convocation tries to use an Odivshe spell to enchant a non-Odivshe object, his EML is penalized:

-10 Secondary (Fyvrian or Savorian) object

-15 Neutral object (GM’s discretion)

-20 Tertiary (Jmorvi or Lyahvi) object

-30 Diametric (Peleahn) object
