Evocation

Evocation spells manipulate magical energy to produce a desired effect. Some call up blasts of fire or lightning. Others channel positive energy to heal wounds or negative energy to inflict harm.

Typical Effects​

Evocation magic channels energy to create effects that are often destructive. This school focuses on:

  • Elemental Damage: Fire, cold, lightning, acid, and other energy types
  • Force Effects: Pure magical energy attacks and barriers
  • Healing: Channeling positive energy to restore health
  • Light and Darkness: Manipulating illumination and shadow

Common Evocation Spells​

Evocation spells are often the most direct and dramatic, creating visible displays of magical power.

Casting Considerations​

When casting evocation spells, consider:

  • The area of effect and potential for collateral damage
  • Resistance or immunity to specific energy types
  • The immediate and obvious nature of most evocation effects
  • Whether the situation calls for subtlety or overwhelming force
