Within the pages of the Necronomicon Enchanter book in Lita’s library, the curious may learn the Enchanters’ magical matters. Beware, for the knowledge might drive the reader mad with bitter desire and luscious regret.

Because the Enchanters of Sye take the diluted magic of their world and concentrate it for human use, they organize magical abilities into five categories.

Four categories favor ambient Sye magic: Earthe, Mer, Aer, and Fyre.

The last category represents all non-Enchanter magic, primarily spells by the Church, plus unclaimed and forbidden magic. Today, the discussion focuses on the ambient Sye enchantments of Aer (air) and Fyre (fire).

Aer

Aer Enchanters use their powerful magical essence to form spells that cleanse air for breathing, and to shape clouds into whimsical forms. These magicians hold friendly competitions during the Midsummer Festival, and create complex misty sculptures from a mere dish of water. The most talented Aer Enchanters can animate their foggy creations, and make their enchantments whisper words to onlookers.

The Aer Enchanters also bring rain for crops. For farmlands with excess rain, these magicians can also divert rain to produce more arid conditions.

To influence the weather over a large area, several Aer Enchanters must combine their efforts. They use the considerable essence from a nearby Enchanters’ School to fuel these large weather spells.

Aer magicians also influence the winds. They encase their most common spells inside of charms, which produce breezes to stir the stuffy air in a room. Aer magicians also delight in the antics of birds and other flying animals. Almost all Aer Enchanters keep dragonettes as pets.

Fyre

Enchanters that practice Fyre magic specialize in two aspects. The first specialty creates flames and light.

Fyre spells burn magical essence, so Fyre Enchanters constantly refine their spell craft to create ever-more-efficient light and flame enchantments. Fyre charms and spells are cool to the touch, and can be handheld. Fyre Enchanters put these charms  in wall brackets, lamps, and sconces.

The second Fyre specialty favors the production of heat, using traditional fire that consumes combustibles. These Fyre charms function as hand warmers. Talented Fyre Enchanters can create long-lasting consumable fires by interlacing the spell with burning magical essence
