Gephyromancy

Overview

Gephyromancy is one of the five Spheres of The Naali, the Yzmir alteration style. It focuses on the magic of idea transfers and reinforcement through Sigils.

Method

Gephyromancy practitioners create bridges and connections between concepts using Sigils—magical symbols and marks. This Sphere enables the transfer of ideas from one place or form to another, as well as the reinforcement and strengthening of existing concepts.

Through Gephyromancy, practitioners can:

  • Transfer ideas between locations or objects
  • Reinforce existing conceptual connections
  • Create bridges linking disparate concepts
  • Strengthen the bonds between Aether and reality

The name itself derives from the concept of bridge-building, reflecting the Sphere’s fundamental nature of creating connections.

Sigil Creation

Sigil engravers create specialized emulsions by combining oil, pigments, and ideas drawn from The Empyrean, which are then crushed and ground together. The resulting mixture can be introduced into instruments for tattooing Sigils directly onto flesh. Traditional Sigils fade over time, requiring periodic renewal.

Sap-Enhanced Sigils

Experimentation with Sap in Sigil creation produced remarkable results. When Sap is incorporated into the emulsion and introduced through a specialized apparatus, the liquid turns purple before being applied via needle. Upon contact with the recipient’s essence, the tattoos take on a blue phosphorescent tint. Unlike traditional Sigils, Sap-enhanced Sigils appear to graft permanently onto the recipient’s being through a process resembling osmosis, allowing the bearer to make ideas their own and feed off concepts directly.

School and Temple

Within The Kadigir, there is a dedicated Temple for Gephyromancy that serves as a learning place for Initiates. The School is headed by a Magister who represents this magical discipline on The Magisterium, the High Council of the Yzmir.

Place Among the Spheres

Gephyromancy is one of five complementary disciplines:

Practitioners may specialize solely in Gephyromancy or combine it with other Spheres as part of their magical education.
