“Remember these words, for if you do not, you will find yourself in dire peril.” – Ksakka Oyars, Studies in Demonic Bindings
Void templars delve into the outer layers of the void to gain power for victory. They study numerous means of debilitating their foes, both via weapon and spell; their signature is the use of demonbound weapons. The Void is a power of law and evil, and cannot be manipulated by any who are of chaotic or good mindset.
First rising to prominence during the War of Night, Void templars are a fusion of both dark magics and martial force. Because of its shuddeni roots, they are the primary dedicants of this profession. However, it also has a substantial following amongst the aelin, forming the origin of its famously diabolic ginta. The srryn, too, have taken up the art, forming a distinctly Sithean Sept devoted to seeking its demonic power. The practice has appeal to other races, including both humans and nefortu, giving it particular allure amongst mercenaries.
Although learned in several powerful defensive techniques, Void templars are primarily offensive in nature. They study numerous means of debilitating their foes, both via weapon and spell. A Void templar’s signature, however, is his use of demonbound weapons. These nightmarish rites allow him to infuse his arsenal with unnatural speed, strength, or even the ability to leech life from his foes. Much like their counterpart, the Water templar, they focus on the sword and shield in concert. Despite this, it is not uncommon to see a Void templar occasionally employ a whip.
The Void is a power of law and evil, and cannot be manipulated by any who are of chaotic or good mindset. Srryn templars of the Void often follow their outcast god, Sitheus, while it is common for a shuddeni templar to serve Rveyelhi or Arkhural. However, Void templars need not honour any specific god, seeking instead to serve only their own power through pain.

Syntax: Automatic
Small, bladed weapons, daggers are one of the simplest melee weapons, often
favoured by scholars for this reason, most other professions in Avendar also
receiving training in them. Rogues are more intimately trained in their usage,
learning techniques both flashy and subtle. Typically thrusting or slashing
weapons, due to their length, they are poor at warding off blows though it is
likewise difficult to parry against a dagger. Someone wielding a dagger will
have a harder time getting around a shield, a stone phalanx, or a fighter's
fending.
Primary Attribute: Dexterity

Syntax: Automatic One of the most commonly-produced and commonly-trained weapons in Avendar, swords are simple to learn the basics of, but may take decades to master. The only weapon with an entire profession dedicated solely to their usage, in the hands of most others, swords are a particularly average weapon. Typically slashing or piercing, they range from slender rapiers to massive two-handed claymores. Primary Attribute: Strength, Dexterity See also: PARRY
Syntax: Automatic
A whip is usually composed of a flexible cord or a chain attached to a handle,
the lash typically dealing slashing damage, though they are often enchanted,
as well. Gladiators and Void templars are the only professions that receive
dedicated training in this weapon, though many others learn the basics of
using this weapon, and they are often used in the off hand. Because of their
flexibility, they are notoriously poor at parrying with, but they are
similarly difficult for opponents to use any defense save dodge or evade
against. The length of this weapon makes it throw off one's parrying if a whip
is offhanded, as well.

Syntax: Automatic Shield block is the art of using a shield to ward off blows in melee. This skill is primarily effective against daggers, and least effective against whips, flails, maces, and axes. Shield block is the favoured defense of of water and Void templars and most fighters, though other schools teach the skill as well. It's much harder to shield block after an arm has been boneshattered. Primary Attribute: Strength, Dexterity
Range : Inventory Item/As Original Spell Syntax: Recite <scroll> <target> Non-adventuring scholars have refined their arts to the point where it is possible for some to transcribe spells onto scrolls, that they might be cast at a later date. Spells scribed upon a scroll function exactly as they do when cast ordinarily, except they have no mana cost. Appropriate targeting for a given spell may be found in that spell's helpfile. Scrolls may be freely used in combat, even if the spell scribed upon it ordinarily may not. As scrolls must be read aloud, they cannot be used while gagged or taking on the aspect of an animal, and deafness will make it harder to do so. Once recited, successfully or otherwise, a scroll is consumed. It is not possible to recite a scroll higher than your own level. Primary Attribute: Intelligence See also: CAST, SCRIT OF KAAGN, SCRIPT MASTERY, individual spell helpfiles
Range : Inventory Item/Target Person or Mob
Syntax: Zap <item> <target>
Non-adventuring scholars and alchemists are able to imbue wands with magical
spells, that they might be cast at a later date. Spells imbued within a wand
affect a specified target, and are typically offensive but not universally so.
Wands may be freely used in combat, even if the spell within ordinarily may
not.
Wands have a limited number of charges; should all charges be expended from
one, the item will be consumed.

Syntax: Automatic Those trained in the art of blindfighting will find themselves less hindered in environments where they are unable to see. Their armor class and melee defenses will be unaffected, if they are successful, allowing them to defend with as much proficiency as normal. Possessing this skill also grants the ability to see in the dark. Primary Attribute: Wisdom, Dexterity See also: BLINDNESS, PARRY, DODGE, EVADE
Syntax: Automatic Most of the non-scholarly guilds offer their students training in heightening the force of their blows. A higher skill will see better results at these techniques, as will a better weapon. Primary Attribute: Strength See also: BRUTAL DAMAGE, PROWESS
Syntax: Automatic Characters with proficiency in this skill will attempt a third attack each round with both their main and any offhanded weapons. Mastery of this skill does not guarantee the attack will be attempted every round, but it does make it very likely. Primary Attribute: Dexterity See also: DUAL WIELD, SECOND ATTACK
Syntax: Automatic A basic technique for focusing one's thoughts, meditation is a skill taught by all guilds that their students may recover mana more quickly. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Wisdom See also: TRANCE, MANA
Syntax: Automatic One of the few skills taught by almost all guilds of Avendar, parrying is the art of fending off an opponent's blows with one's own weapon. It is easiest to do so with a staff, though polearms and spears are well-suited to it as well. Swords and exotic weapons are neither good nor poor to one attempting to parry, though gladiators will parry better with an exotic and swords parry more effectively when wielded with both hands. Maces, axes, flails, daggers and whips are in turn less and less suited to parrying with. Fighters, by virtue of their training in a variety of techniques, will be more skilled at parrying no matter what the weapon. Wielding a weapon other than a sword or a spear in one's offhand will inhibit parrying with the main hand, though gladiators learn techniques to parry better while offhanding a whip. It is typically easier to parry when skilled with one's own weapon. It is particularly difficult to parry against daggers and whips, and easier to parry polearms. Primary Attribute: Dexterity See also: DUAL WIELD, individual weapon helpfiles
Syntax: Automatic Fast healing is a skill taught by most guilds, that their students might apply their knowledge to quicker recovery of bodily injuries, increasing the rate at which they gain hit points. Primary Attribute: Constitution See also: HIT POINTS
Dual wielding is the ability to use an additional weapon in the character's offhand. Weapons being dual wielded will suffer a slight penalty in the amount of damage and have a lesser chance of iterative attacks. Weapon weight must be considered with this skill, as only weapons lighter then the one being wielded in the main hand are capable of being dual wielded. Swordmasters are exempt from this restriction, and can dual wield nearly any two swords they can hold. Certain unwieldy combinations of weapons will be more awkward to defend oneself with. Large-sized races, such as the chaja or alatharya, are able to hold certain kinds of two-handed weapons with one hand, and dual wield them. The balance of spears, staves, and polearms are such that this is not possible for these weapons. The ambidextrous trait, available upon creation and given to gladiators and swordmasters automatically, reduces but does not remove the weight restrictions (though swordmasters have none in either case).

Duration : Instantaneous Weapon: Whip
Range : Single PC or Mob
Syntax: Flay <target>
Practice at using whips for disciplinary action as well as entertainment has
taught skilled void templars to flay skin and muscle away from bone, both
dealing damage and applying a penalty to the target's strength. This penalty
is cumulative across mutiple uses of this skill. A whip must be either wielded
or dual wielded in order to use this skill.
Primary Attribute: Dexterity
Duration : Instantaneous Cost: 6 Mana Range : Target PC or Mob Syntax: Shield <target> This skill may be used to slam one's shield into one's foes, lagging them. This is slightly more effacious against the protective shield spell than ordinary bashing. Targets who are asleep, sitting, or resting may not be shield bashed.

Syntax: Inscribe <symbol> <reagent>
Both void templars and scholars can inscribe mystic figures in order to aid
them in the practice of their craft. Void templars most frequently use various
forms of the Trigon of Binding to bind demons into their arms and armour. All
Void scholars use symbols to empower a number of their spells. Additionally,
Void scholars may learn more symbols throughout their studies and use them in
rites to empower themselves or their minions.
This skill requires a reagent of specific material to inscribe the symbol
with. Void scholar guildmasters will typically have standard reagents for
sale, and other common reagents may be found in apothecaries. Other, more
exotic reagents must be found about the world or created.
Guildmasters will provide their reagents in a small leather pouch. These
reagents must be in the pouch, and not in the summoner's inventory in order to
properly inscribe with them.
Being fairly standardized throughout all studies, three basic symbols are
taught to all students of the Void.
Symbol
======
Pentagram of Summoning
Trigon of Binding
Circle of Protection
Void templars attempting to bind their weapons and shields with demons must
take special care with their trigons, because each binding ritual requires the
templar use a specific reagent, keyed to appeal to the intended demon.
As a rule, inscriptions will be consumed once used. Fighting in the same room
as a symbol has a high likelihood of destroying it. A symbol may be willfully
removed with the erase command.
Inputting the inscribe command without any arguments will display which
symbols the user has already learned.

Syntax: Automatic A further refinement upon the more widely taught basic technique of meditation, trance is taught by the spellworking guilds and those focused on more meditative studies, in order to better recover their mana. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Wisdom See also: MEDITATION, MANA
Duration : 1 Tick Weapon: Sword Range : Current Opponent Minimum Cost: 15 mana Syntax: Shadowstrike Taking a cue from the fighting styles of swordmaster, Void templars have created their own take on the meditative strike. Shadow strike takes the swift blow and imbues it with the darkening magics of Void, granting a chance to blind foes who are struck by it. Like meditative strike, the user will recover more quickly if he is in form when he executes the technique. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Dexterity See also: MEDITATIVE STRIKE
Duration : As plague Minimum Cost: Special
Range : Target PC or Mobile and his Group
Syntax: Automatic
The pestilence skill enhances the user's castings of the plague spell. If the
plague spell is successful on a target, this skill causes the plague to
immediately spread to the target's groupmates, each successive person having
an increased penalty to resisting the disease. Every additional target beyond
the first will cost the caster an additional 3 mana.

Cost per Round: 20 mana
Syntax: Assume 'Form of the Wraith'
A combination of the magics of Void and the meditative stylings of the
swordmasters, the form of the wraith is a purely defensive form. While in this
form, the templar will take significantly less damage from all sources except
holy damage, to which he gains a vulnerability.
Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Dexterity
See also: FORMS, DAMAGE REDUCTION
Cost per Round: 30 mana Syntax: Assume 'Form of the Asp' Delving into the meditative fighting styles of the swordmasters and melding it with the magics of their sphere, Void templars have formulated the form of the asp, a variant on both the form of the wasp and the viper, empowered by their negative magics. Each round of combat while in this form, the templar may deliver an asp strike, dealing strength and dexterity damage, and causing the target to bleed. All of these effects are cumulative with each successive strike. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Dexterity See also: FORMS, FORM OF THE WASP, FORM OF THE VIPER
This is a short list of the more common wear-slots accessible to mortals. There are a few more, but are comparatively obscure.

Duration : Instantaneous Minimum Cost: 15 mana Range : Single PC or Mob Syntax: Cast 'Enervating Ray' <target> With this spell, the caster sends out a ray of negative energy at their foe. This ray both deals a small amount of damage and has a chance to sap the target's strength. Having a faint red aura or darker will provide an effective bonus to the caster's level when using this spell. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Dexterity
Duration : Level/2 hours Minimum Cost: 5 mana Range : Caster Only Syntax: Cast 'Detect Invis' This spell allows the caster to see all players, mobiles, and objects that are invisible. Primary Attribute: Intelligence See also: INVISIBILITY
Duration : Level/12 Hours Minimum Cost: 5 mana Range : Single PC or Mob Syntax: Cast 'Blindness' <target> This spell calls upon the power of the Void to blind its target. Characters affected by blindness are unable to use the look command in any way, and are unable to manipulate items, save to drink glowing potions, eat food, or drink water if these items are openly in his inventory. Characters affected by blindness attack and defend more poorly unless they are proficient in blindfighting. Primary Attribute: Intelligence See also: BLINDFIGHTING
Duration : Level + 12 Half-hours Minimum Cost: 5 mana Range : Target PC, Mob or Inventory Item Syntax: Cast 'Invisibility' <target> Using the energies of the caster's sphere, this spell shrouds its target from ordinary vision. It is impossible to see anyone or anything who is so hidden without some means of specifically detecting the invisible. It is impossible to disarm, steal, or loot a weapon that you are unable to see. Invisibility is not a perfect disguise: it does not conceal entry or exit from a room, muffle the sounds of speech, or shroud any actions; all who are present and awake in the room will be aware that someone has acted, if not who. Primary Attribute: Intelligence See also: DETECT INVIS, SIXTH SENSE, MASS INVIS
Duration : Permanent Minimum Cost: 75 mana Range : Caster Only Syntax: Cast 'Icy Shield' This spell forges a shield of pure, magical ice that only a water templar may use. It confers benefits to hitroll and damroll, dependent on the level of the caster. The chill of the shield will also provide a defence against fire similar to that provided by the water scholar spell. Any icy shield that is dropped or disarmed disintegrates immediately. Primary Attributes: Intelligence, Charisma See also: HITROLL, DAMROLL, DAMAGE REDUCTION, PROTECTION FROM FIRE
Duration : Level/6 Hours Minimum Cost: 50 mana Range : Target Inventory Weapon Syntax: Cast 'Desecrate Weapon' <weapon> This spell fills a weapon with the essence of the Void, causing it to deal negative damage. This spell cannot be used on weapons that are blessed or reject evil wielders, nor on weapons that deal light damage. If a weapon that is already cursed is desecrated, the duration of the brand will be doubled. Primary Attribute: Intelligence
Duration : Level/4 Hours, See Text Minimum Cost: 20 mana
Range : Single PC, Mob, or Inventory Object
Syntax: Cast 'Curse' <target>
There are two functions for curses: An object that is cursed is stripped
of any blessings, and is considered evil if it was not already blessed.
Wearing this item will slightly hinder the bearer's saves-- this effect lasts
for six hours, but the item will be permanently considered evil. Contrary to
popular mythology, a cursed weapon is no more useful against particularly holy
targets than any other.
When cast on a living being, a curse will penalize its target's hitroll and
saves. A character affected by a curse cannot be transported by any form of
the word of recall spell, nor will they be moved by a spiritrecall.
This spell cannot be used by a caster who has any measure of gold aura.

Duration : 3 Hours Minimum Cost: 50 mana Range : Caster's Group Syntax: Cast 'Demonic Howl' This spell allows the caster to scream with a demonic power. This will grant a small measure of healing to the caster's entire group, and grant the caster extra attacks immediately after its use. The unnatural power of this cry will occasionally cause the caster's opponents to flee from combat. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma
Duration : Level/6 Hours Minimum Cost: 40 mana Range : Single Inventory Weapon Syntax: Cast 'Leech Rune' <target> This spell scribes a demonic rune upon a weapon in the caster's inventory. This rune will cause the weapon to bind to the hand of whomever wields it, preventing it from being removed by any means. However, a leech rune will also cause the weapon to penalize the wielder's maximum hit points. A weapon that is bound with a demon will hold the rune for double the usual length of time. Primary Attribute: Intelligence
Duration (food, person): level / 16 hours Minimum Cost: 10 mana Duration (weapon): 6 hours Range : Single PC, Mobile or Item Syntax: Cast 'Poison' <target> When cast upon an animate target, this spell will penalize the target's strength slightly and cause him to take damage every half-hour. This spell may also be used to poison either food or drink, to cause the same effect once consumed. Lastly, weapons may be poisoned as well, to afflict those struck with the same poison. Primary Attribute: Intelligence See also: ENVENOM

So bound, this shield will evoke the chill of those endless wastelands, and provide a measure of defense against the cold. In addition, such a shield will be markedly more effective against weapons which are not easily blocked, such as whips. This spell requires that a proper trigon of binding be present for the casting. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma See also: INSCRIBE, BINDING RITUALS
Duration : 4 Hours Minimum Cost: 50 mana Range : Caster Only Syntax: Cast 'Curse of Kijjasku' A legendary shuddeni associated with the origins of Yithoul, Kijjasku is said to have uttered the words to this curse upon his own death.

Duration : Permanent Minimum Cost: 100 mana Range : Single Glove Weapon Recast Delay: (105-Level/2)/2 Hours Syntax: Cast 'Hunger of Grmlarloth' <target> This spell binds a ravenous Grmlarloth into a pair of glove weapons. So bound, as the wielder makes kills while wearing these gloves, they may gain a temporary damroll bonus. This bonus is cumulative up to a finite limit, and making successive kills will refresh the duration of this bonus. This spell requires that a proper trigon of binding be present for the casting. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma See also: INSCRIBE, BINDING RITUALS
Duration : Level/2 Hours Minimum Cost: 20 mana Range : Single PC or Mob Syntax: Cast 'Plague' <target> This spell produces a festering disease in its target, born out of the negative energies of Void magic. This significantly penalizes the target's strength and deals damage to them each half hour, potentially spreading the disease to others present at these times. As the disease spreads, the duration will be lessened on each new victim. This spell has no effect on the undead. This spell cannot be used by anyone with any measure of gold aura. Primary Attribute: Intelligence
Duration : Permanent Minimum Cost: 100 mana Range : Single Inventory Weapon Recast Delay: (105-Level/2)/2 Hours Syntax: Cast 'Blade of Vershak' <target> This spell binds a winged vershak into a weapon, causing it to take on a little of that aspect. Weapons bound with a vershak may strike an additional time each round of combat, but the effects are not cumulative. If the wielder uses multiple weapons so bound, only one will be effective. This spell requires that a proper trigon of binding be present for the casting. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma See also: INSCRIBE, BINDING RITUALS
Duration : Permanent Minimum Cost: 100 mana Range : Single Inventory Weapon Recast Delay: (105-Level/2)/2 Hours Syntax: Cast 'Caress of Pricina' <target> This spell binds a succubus into a weapon, causing it to take on a little of their aspect. Each time the caster attacks with this weapon, there is a chance they will drain some hit points from their opponent, healing themself, so long as the opponent is not one of the undead. This spell requires that a proper trigon of binding be present for the casting. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma See also: INSCRIBE, BINDING RITUALS
Duration : Instantaneous Minimum Cost: 35 mana Range : Single PC or Mob Syntax: Cast 'Siphon Mana' <target> This spell opens a dark conduit between caster and his target, dealing no damage but transferring the victim's mana to the caster. PCs will find themselves significantly more drained by this spell than mobiles. Primary Attribute: Intelligence
Duration : 4 Hours Minimum Cost: 160 mana Range : Caster Only Recast Delay: 7.5 Hours Syntax: Cast 'Demonic Possession' This spell calls forth a demonic spirit to briefly inhabit the body of the caster. While so affected, his hit points, hitroll, and damroll will all be drastically increased. As well, the presence of the possessing spirit will give the caster a weakness to holy damage, and should he attempt to speak or emote, the spirit will instead speak with his voice. The spirit is also able to force the caster to attack spirit scholars and templars that he passes by; he will also find it more difficult to flee from combat. When demonic possession ends, the spell's recast delay begins and the caster will immediately be forced to a resting position and his hp and mana will be reduced by half for the duration of the delay. He will also suffer a penalty to his maximum health relational to his level. The exorcism spell can prematurely force the demon out of the caster. Demonic possession may not be cast in a sanctified room. When this spell is cast, if the caster is affected by spirit shield, protection evil or focus mind, those spells end. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma See also: EXORCISM
Duration : Permanent Minimum Cost: 100 mana Range : Single Inventory Shield Recast Delay: (105-Level/2)/2 Hours Syntax: Cast 'Jaws of Idcizon' <target> This ritual calls forth a fanged idcizon to dwell within the caster's shield. Once bound within, the shield will gain a bonus to both hitroll and damroll. In addition, upon fending off blows from unarmed opponents, or when used in a shield bash, the shield will bite at the wearer's foes, dealing damage. Occasionally, it will bite at an opponent's weapons in combat, disarming them. This spell requires that a proper trigon of binding be present for the casting. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Charisma See also: INSCRIBE, BINDING RITUALS
Duration : 3 Hours Minimum Cost: 100 mana Range : Caster's Current Room Recast Delay: 5 Hours Syntax: Cast 'Globe of Darkness' This spell calls a ball of unnatural darkness down upon the caster's room, leaving only the caster able to see clearly in that place. Ordinary light sources and infravision will not be able to penetrate this darkness, however the radiance spell will. Those who see through means other than eyes, such as shuddeni or those affected by sensory vision, as well, will not be hampered. Primary Attribute: Intelligence See also: RADIANCE

Syntax: Cast 'Blight of Adduthala' <target>
This spell is named in honour of Adduthala, one of the first leaders of the
Yithoul tribe. While it deals no damage, this spell penalizes its target's

more tainted the caster's soul is, and shuddeni are immune to the effects of
this spell.

Duration : 4 Hours Minimum Cost: 25 mana Range : Single PC or Mob Syntax: Cast 'Embrace of Isetaton' <target> This spell calls upon the power of an aspect of the demon Sultan Isetaton, to attempt to clutch at and hinder the target. This penalizes his dexterity and replicates the effects of the slow spell, reducing the number of attacks made in a round and halving his healing rate. Primary Attribute: Intelligence, Dexterity See also: SLOW
Duration : Instantaneous Minimum Cost: 80 mana Range : Single PC or Mob in Area Syntax: Cast 'Phase Door' <target> A weaker variant of the gate spell, this spell affords the caster a similar travel through the Void, but on a lesser scope. This spell may only be used within the caster's current area, however, precise targetting is advised if this spell is being used with a mobile as a target; a multiple-word target is acceptable and often ideal. It is not possible to phase door into a sanctified room. Targets in rooms where magic cannot be used or that cannot otherwise be teleported into will cause this spell to fail as well.

Duration : Instantaneous Minimum Cost: 60 mana Range : Single Demon-Bound Item Syntax: Cast 'Expel Demon' <item> The undisputed masters of binding demons, so too are Void templars able to dismiss them. With this spell and a circle of protection scribed in silver dust, they are able to dismiss the demon from any bound item. Should the circle be flawed, the demon will still be removed from the object, but they will not be dispatched to the Void; they will take out any lingering disgruntlement at the binding at the caster of this spell.
