Glossary of the Arcane

ArcaneryThe craft of warlocks. Never call it magic.
MagicFake arcanery: parlor tricks, card tricks and the like. Used as an insult to cheapen another warlock’s craft.
OrdinariesPeople who cannot cast arcanery.
DegreeA warlock’s rank, from 1st to 20th. Each degree earned adds a ring of the warlock’s element around the arm.
CyclePracticing every spell one knows, back to back.
Learning “wild”Learning by intuition. Highly dangerous. The Academy teaches warlocks early to curb their wild tendencies lest it kill them. Lightning warlocks are most prone to dying this way.
OverdrawCasting beyond one’s arcane stamina. Brings headaches, nosebleeds, blackouts and, at worst, a deadly arcane fever.
ChronocastCasting one spell after another in quick succession. Common.
SimulcastCasting an elemental and a standard spell at the same time. Rare.
Feat of LegendA legendary casting, often well above the warlock’s degree.
The SleevingWhen all twenty arm rings fuse into one band, showing the warlock has achieved mastery. Happens naturally.
The SettlingWhen a warlock advances well beyond the standard competencies of their degree, their eyes may flare with their element. Happens naturally.
PermanenceAn enchantment typically sinks to permanence after 100 to 300 years, depending on the skill of the caster. The youngest known warlock to cast a spell that sank to permanence was Atrius Arinthian.
Hallowed TrustAn old tradition in which a warlock pauses a battle to give an opponent their degree via the Convey Degree spell. A day of peace is declared, the enemies share a toast, and combat resumes the next morning.
ArcastrationThe total stripping of the ability to cast arcanery, via the Arcastrate spell.
QuintA five-day “week” at the Academy of Arcane Arts: four classes and one Study Day. Each month is 30 days, so a Sithesian year has 360.
Er priemService without pay or benefit; community service.
Proata mentoraTutoring less experienced warlocks. Warlocks are expected to give 10% of their time to it, healers 20%.
The seven kingdomsSolia, Canterra, Nodia, Tiberra, Ohm, Abrandia and Sierra.
