A return to roots

[DirectorBright]

Distortions in the skin of reality necessitate an alternate schedule- a timetable advanced. The next set of fliers go forwards, the third lesson. A mixture of Chaos and Order, this time: The study is into Alteration and Truth.

This lesson is noted to be most useful to those who had attended the prior lessons, with the lens of Stasis carved in the first being of specific benefit.

Participants now are advised to bring:
Amber, alongside Tyrium, orichalcum, and Briarwood again, to practice engraving an enhanced lens of truth
A blackout potion, alongside extra ky'iah, to imbue a solution of alteration

Once again, the lesson is restricted to 18+ for the nature of the Chaotic segment - though all ages may attend the lesson on Truth, if they believe they can handle it.

Truth. Alteration. Some believe that because one is order and the other chaos, they have nothing in common. They would be wrong. Both are disciplines of the Arcane, and both have overlap to a limited degree. Each represents a step closer towards the combined art of Transmutation and Transformation.

Truth, the capacity to define. To make the unknown, known - yet with enough force, the capacity to impose truths, to make things true.

Alteration, the capacity to change. That of undefinition into a wildcard, of transforming the quality of an entity into something subject to the whims of the caster- yet without Order's stability, it cannot create anything that lasts.

Each of these piece together towards the final art of making fundamental and permanent changes to entities on a fundamental level. Those who have already studied Stasis and Decomposition will find it a subtle jump- as once one can manifest the requisite field, the other subdisciplines are easier.
