Evocation (Area Control)

Evocation is the aggressive, destructive application of the Projection discipline. It is the backbone of what is commonly referred to as "Combat Magic," focusing on the rapid generation of heat, kinetic force, and elemental energy over wide areas.
Classification: Specialization Parent School: Projection

Technique Glyph Doctrine

Doctrine Pair: Stoss + Kreis

Evocation specializes in area shaping, chained detonations, and environmental pressure.

Fictional Permission

When you hold Evocation in your Grimoire, you have specific fictional positioning.

Evocation CAN:

• Deal massive, instantaneous elemental or kinetic damage over wide areas (Wolk, Knal).
• Be cast incredibly quickly, making it ideal for chaotic firefights.
• Overwhelm physical and magical shielding through sheer brute force.

Evocation CANNOT:

• Create permanent matter (that requires Alteration or Conjuration).
• Be sustained efficiently. Evocation burns through mana reserves faster than almost any other discipline.
• Differentiate between friend and foe. An explosion hits everything in its radius.

The Core Matrix

This specialization's live-casting access follows its Technique Glyph doctrine.

Geometric Scaling (Mana Track Box Costs)

When determining the cost of a spell, the GM uses this scale. Each example uses live notation: Intent -> School -> Glyph -> Scale -> Tags.

• Trivial (0 Ticks): Harmless luminous puff for signaling or cover. Emit harmless glow cloud -> Projection -> Faden+Stoss -> trivial effect, near range, hand-sized volume, brief
• Regular (1 Tick): Scorching air burst that shoves. Scorch and shove cone -> Projection -> Stoss+Puls -> standard effect, near range, narrow cone, instant
• Hard (2 Ticks): Fire detonation in a tight radius. Detonate fire sphere -> Projection -> Stoss+Kreis -> hard effect, near range, room corner, instant
• Complex (2 Ticks): Room-filling fireball. Fill room with rolling flame -> Projection -> Stoss+Kreis+Gitter -> complex effect, near range, room volume, instant
• Miracle (4+ Ticks): Battlefield-scale plasma storm. Unleash plasma storm front -> Projection -> Stoss+Gitter+Schmiede -> miracle effect, extreme range, wide front, sustained
