{{Anchor|Indulge}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Indulge
|description = Revel in your own superiority
|syntax =
|detail = Usage: UNLEASH INDULGE <10-1000>
Indulge in your mastery of occultic forces and arcane ritual, replenishing your mind at the cost of
mental stability. This will deplete your willpower proportional to how much mana you choose to
recover.

{{Anchor|Forestall}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Forestall
|description = None shall threaten the purity of your humours
|syntax = UNLEASH FORESTALL
|detail = Secure invisible arcane wards to your form, granting you a 2% chance to turn aside venoms

20%.

{{Anchor|Illusion}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Illusion
|description = Call forth an illusory image of your own creation
|syntax = UNLEASH ILLUSION <illusion>        UNLEASH ILLUSION AT <target> <illusion>
|detail = A mainstay of ritualists everywhere, simple illusions can astound your allies and

Note: You can add a new line into your illusion by using the tag $nl within the text, however you
may only do this once.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =

{{Anchor|Proscribe}}
{{Skill_detail

|description = Magic is yours to dismiss at will
|syntax = UNLEASH PROSCRIBE HERE        UNLEASH PROSCRIBE <aegis> <symbol>        UNLEASH PROSCRIBE
<symbol>
|detail = Undo the spellwork that has left any lingering effects in a location. This will not
dispel symbols unless they are specifically targetted, and dispelling your own runes will not
consume your equilibrium.
It will also dispel any bodily emanations that has been cast by you within the world at large.
You can also cast the dispel upon an aegis to remove the specified symbol from it, though the
protective magic of the aegis will make this process take some time.
Note: a symbol is any glyph or rune.
|cooldown =

{{Skill_detail
|skill = Acumen
|description = Empower your boar tattoo with ritual energy

this benefit.
|cooldown =

}}
{{Anchor|Ensorcell}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Ensorcell
|description = Empower an arcane aegis with your ritualism
|syntax = UNLEASH ENSORCELL <aegis>
|detail = An aegis typically needs to be attuned to the land so that it can draw upon the mana it
needs to operate its defences - but a mage has ways around this. By giving it a constant supply of
mana from your own reserves, you can have the aegis' defences work wherever you happen to be
holding it. This is a channeled operation and most other actions will interrupt the process.

{{Skill_detail
|skill = Embellish
|description = Weave colour into your illusions
|syntax =
|detail = Syntax: UNLEASH ILLUSION [AT <target>] COLOUR:<colour> <text>

equilibrium cost for this effect.

{{Anchor|Alluvion}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Alluvion
|description = Push them away with a tide of blood
|syntax = UNLEASH ALLUVION <direction>
|detail = You may impel droplets of blood to create a river of force, constantly pushing anyone
present up to five rooms away in a line. There is a delay between each movement push.
This spell is negated by the density defense, though the presence of one of your clarity glyphs in
the target's room will give it a chance to bypass this.
The effect will end after a short duration, or if the rift it creates is destroyed by being
attacked.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =

{{Anchor|Sozedeti}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Sozedeti
|description = The power of a high ritualist
|syntax =

{{Anchor|Mania}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Mania
|description = Mass hysteria
|syntax = UNLEASH MANIA <illusion>        UNLEASH MANIA ON AEGIS <illusion>
|detail = Manifest mass hysteria by unleashing a ritual of unsettling energy. Anyone who enters a
room with such mania attached to it will see the illusion upon entry. Only a single illusion may
reign in the room, and subsequent casts will overwrite the previous.
Such mania can also be attached to an attuned crystal aegis, where it will persist forever or until
dispelled. It will only be shown to targets of the aegis in this situation.
Spells like Proscribe and Dispel can be used to clear the illusion prematurely.

{{Anchor|Shadebind}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Shadebind
|description = Bind an opponent in shade, obscuring vision
|syntax =
|detail = Usage: UNLEASH SHADEBIND <target 1> <target 2> <target 3>

will make it difficult to see, lowering their physical accuracy by 15% for a short duration.
You must target exactly three people with this spell, no more or less.

{{Anchor|Blear}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Blear
|description = Blear their eyes with a haze of misty blood
|syntax = UNLEASH BLEAR
|detail = Unleash the power of a blearing ritual that will mask the presence of all in your
location. Such an illusion will not prevent anyone from attacking others should they know they are
there. Abilities like Dispel or Proscribe can remove effects like this.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Attunement}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Attunement
|description = Bind an aegis within your city
|syntax = ATTUNE AEGIS HERE        DAMPEN AEGIS        CEDE AEGIS <org>
|detail = In an impressive feat of spellcraft, you can attach a crystal aegis to the land around
you. By attuning it to the leylines that course all throughout the continent, you can keep the
aegis permanently supplied with the energy it needs to keep its defences activated. Such an act
takes a considerable length of time, and requires your utmost concentration. Once attuned in place,
the aegis cannot be moved. You cannot attune an aegis to a room if there is another attuned aegis
already placed within a two-room distance.
An attuned aegis will only have four of its glyphs activated when set up in this state. Within a
city, the help of its pylon can further increase it to all six. During a period of stable activity
of the leylines however, an attuned aegis will become dormant due to a lack of energy. Please see
AB REFINING FLUXATIONS for more information.
To remove an aegis, you can focus on dampening its connection to the leylines. This act will take a
much shorter time than attuning, but your utmost concentration is still required. As a mage, you
can perform this feat significantly faster than the Survival skill equivalent. Once completed, the
crystal aegis will shatter into pieces, destroying it completely.
You can also cede ownership of an aegis to any organisation, so long as the aegis has been attuned
upon a location that belongs to that organisation. Once the ownership has been ceded, the aegis
will instead attack enemies of that organisation, instead of your personal enemies.

{{Anchor|Runes}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Runes
|description = Sketch magical runes upon your surroundings
|syntax =
|detail = Runes are eldritch symbols sketched through the air with gem dust and infused with mana.
Each rune has a different effect depending on the runic script sketched and the gem dust used to
create it.
There are currently two types of runes: persistent runes, and triggered runes. Persistent runes
will last for a short duration and impose a constant effect upon their location, until they fade
from their magic being depleted. Triggered runes will hang in the air until an enemy of yours
enters the location, at which point their effect will trigger and the rune will dissipate as its
magic depletes. The clarity defence will protect an enemy from being affected by most triggered
runes.
Each room can only contain two runes, for any more than that would cause the magics to disrupt each
other. Both runes must be different.
Runes can additionally be sketched onto the facet of a crystal aegis, instead of in the air. When
upon an aegis, runes will be permanently powered and no longer fade. Some runes may have a
different effect when upon an aegis. An aegis can exist alongside runes sketched in the room.

observation rune will instead make an alert over that organisation's channel.
