'''Animation''' is the the black sheep of Evocation, and is the ability to grant inanimate objects some form of consciousness. This gives them the ability to move around and follow instructor's, typically the Mage's. As skill with Animation grows, the instructions can get more complex, and the ability and potential size of the object animated increases. Very powerful and skillful Animation can be used to grant both temporary and permanent sapience to objects and non-sapient creatures, such as making a book or animal a fully realized individual with their own thoughts, personalities, desires, and identity. | '''Animation''' is the the black sheep of Evocation, and is the ability to grant inanimate objects some form of consciousness.

'''Enchantment''' is the ability to alter another's thoughts. This allows a Mage to influence the mind, placing ideas and desires that are not inherent to the target being influenced. As a Mage's power and skill grows, the intensity and complexity of the thoughts does too. Initially, they are often simple, such as making someone think "I need to eat" or "these are my friends", to much more complex thoughts about the nature of good and evil, or someone's very identity.<br> | '''Enchantment''' is the ability to alter another's thoughts.

'''Domination''' is the ability to alter another's actions. On a basic level it is sending impulses to a target's brain, causing their muscles to move in specific ways against the will of the target. As the power and skill of the Mage grows, what might initially started as influencing quick, jerky movements, or random sudden shouts, can become long term, total control of a target's actions and speech, while being almost subconscious for the Mage.<br> | '''Domination''' is the ability to alter another's actions.

'''Contradynation''' is protection from the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and radiation (the Tones featured in Dynamancy). While being directly used against Wardens or Druids using Dynamancy, it can also be used to temporarily negate these effects on a target, such as reducing how much gravity pulls on someone, or from radioactive materials (such as permanent Contradynation wards are typically set up in communities with large populations of [[Polonium Dragon|Polonium]] and [[Indium Dragon|Indium Dragons]] | '''Contradynation''' is protection from the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and radiation (the Tones featured in Dynamancy).

'''Chronomancy''' is the ability to alter how time affects a person or object, speeding it up or slowing it down. In its simplest form it can be used to slow down time for the Mage, making them appear to move quicker, or to speed up time for the Mage, allowing them to pass through a day more quickly. In more powerful forms Chronomancy can debilitate enemy lines by slowing them down, or enhance whole groups of allies, speeding them up, or even used very specifically, oxidizing and rusting the weapons of an opposing force in mere seconds. Legends are told of incredibly powerful use of Chronomancy fueled by Khaagaazh for traveling entirely into the past or future, but the veracity of these claims is unknown. | '''Chronomancy''' is the ability to alter how time affects a person or object, speeding it up or slowing it down.
