Discovering Auromancy

Contents
"Crafting objects of power with Vis has opened a new world for me, yet I am not satisfied. There must be a way of manipulating that aura directly. A way to draw vis from the very air itself and (Sic)mould it to my will.

''I should study the world around me and travel to its edges. There I will learn what I need.''

Sometimes I feel like I am being driven by forces outside my understanding - unheard voices urging me toward great power and knowledge.

Shaping vis will be one more step on this journey."

"Visit the lowest depths of the world.": travel to/below Y7

"Visit the highest peaks you can find.": travel to/above Y115(?)

"Slowly but surely I am beginning to understand the nature of Vis. So much is still hidden to me, but I think I now know enough to begin moulding it to my will. For this I will need a special too. A very special tool.

''I have stumbled upon some dusty scrolls penned by a long dead thaumaturge. It describes how to craft wands that are used to store and channel vis. The insights I learned from the scrolls were useful, but the application seems so limiting. Why trap vis in a wand when it is all around you? Even the wand itself seems impractical to me. If you need something to grasp and shape the aura it should be something appropriate. Something like a glove.''

''Any old glove will not do - it will need to be handcrafted from the finest leather and laced with vis conductive materials. Iron is a poor vis conductor, but it is all I have available to me at this time. Luckily there will be no mucking about with magical woods and so forth to store the vis, but I will need some way of channeling vis directly from the aura - a vis resonator if you will. I will also attach a stripped down thaumometer to the glove so I can monitor the local aura.''

''Lastly I will place a receptacle on the back of the glove. The scrolls mentioned using special crystalline foci to channel the vis from the wands. Their crystalline lattice shapes the vis into different configurations to create all manner of useful effects. Brilliant actually. It irks me that I did not think of it first. Fortunately I have already thought of several ways to improve om the design and the shape of the glove lends itself on manipulating the flow of vis much more than the old style wands could."''

Craft a Vis Resonator: this can be done cheaply and easily, requiring only an iron plate, a piece of nether quartz, an Aer and Aqua vis shard and 50 Vis at an Arcane Workbench.

Craft the Caster's Gauntlet: a bit more difficult to craft than the Vis Resonator, the Caster's Gauntlet requires 3 iron, a Vis Resonator, 4 leather, a Thaumometer (you'll want to create a new one), 1 of every primal Vis Crystal and 100 Vis.

"I have managed to put together a basic casting gauntlet and I am quite pleased with the result. It is still a bit rough, but that is to be expected from a prototype. Even as a prototype it will prove useful, allowing me to make delicate adjustments or alteration to thaumaturgical devices and safely manipulate them in all manner of ways.

''My initial experiments have shown tha tit is only able to draw vis from a relatively small area around me. I should be careful not to deplete the aura.''

''My main stumbling block now is that in its current state it is little more than a magical wrench. until I crack the secret of crafting foci its utility will be limited. The path before me is clear..."''
