High Magic is a branch of magical knowledge surrounding the study of the cabala, or spheres of energies, also known as sephiroth, that compose the universe. These spheres are symbolically arranged on a diagram called the Tree of Life and connected by a network of paths. A variety of useful and beneficial spellcraft can be learned through mastering this occult philosophy. This branch of arcane studies is highly ritualized and intellectualized, and is also a prerequisite for studying cosmic or elemental magic.

Pentagram
Syntax:

EVOKE PENTAGRAM [PSI]

The Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram is the most basic evocation of High Magic. Casting it will protect you against most attacks against your person. Alternatively, you can use it to protect you against psionic attack.
Malkuth
The first cabalistic sphere resides in the earth itself, and evoking its powers will help root you to the ground, offering some defense against an unwanted summons.
Void
Syntax:
|
EVOKE VOID <target>
|
At the edges of the cosmos is the void, the Ain Soph from which all spheres manifest. Evoking its power will destroy protective pentagrams or magic circles.
Yesod
The second cabalistic sphere rules that of the Unseen, or the invisible realm. Evoking this sphere will place you in that realm, making you invisible. Evoking it again will remove the invisibility.
Netzach
Oh, Beautiful One! Netzach will increase your charisma, thus strengthening your ego when evoking this powerful cabalistic sphere.

This cold and vengeful sphere of the cabala is not called the Bitter Mother for nothing. Evoking the curse upon your target will weaken the body, thus lowering constitution.

The Greater Ritual of the Pentagram will enclose your location with a protective, sequestoring field.
