Reaching each of these levels requires exponentially more mana than the last, making high-level attuned rare to the point where it is speculated that there are only a one or two hundred Emerald-levels on the entire continent. Some have theorized that an additional attunement level, Sapphire, exists above emerald, but has been proven to not exist. In Valia, these levels are named based on gemstones the color of the generated shroud, starting at Quartz (clear) going up through Carnelian (red), Sunstone (orange), Citrine (yellow), and Emerald (green). 3.7 Ascended Attunements (Evolved from other Attunements)Īttunements have a 'level' based on their current safe mana value.3.6 Restricted Attunements (Granted by the Visages).Mana collected in this manner is then able to be used by the attuned, as well as converted (at a small percent loss) between the types provided by the attunement. Īn attunement works by collecting ambient mana out of the atmosphere in the marked part of the body, stopping when it reaches the body part's safe mana value. Each attunement also grants access to a shroud, a magical barrier, starting at carnelian level. All attunements grant access to gray mana, and individual attunements initially grant access to two other types, and a third type after reaching citrine level. Attunements also grant the user access to mana. Attunements are the primary form of magic on the continent of Kaldwyn.Įach attunement grants the attuned a set of abilities, which vary drastically between attunements. If you pass a Judgment from a soaring spire, you will typically be granted an attunement specific that spire, although exceptions are known to exist. These Attunements are earned in a Judgment, granted by a Visage, or obtained while climbing one of the soaring spires, although earning them outside of a Judgment is exceedingly rare. Attunements are tattoo-like marks that allow creatures with them (known as Attuned), to use magic.
