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 Inept The basic ritual protects you from most attacks.
Malkuth Novice Root yourself in the Sphere of the earth.
Void Apprentice Cosmic emptiness from which returns all emanations.
Yesod Apprentice +50% Conceal yourself with the Sphere of Unseen.
Netzach Capable Enhance charisma under the Sphere of the Beautiful One.
Hod Adept The Sphere of the Powerful Mind will clear thoughts.

Geburah Expert Great strength emanates from the Sphere of the Strong Arm.
Gedulah Virtuoso The Sphere of the Merciful Hand shall ease your suffering.
Binah Virtuoso +50% Vengeance falls under the Sphere of the Bitter Mother.

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

Syntax:
EVOKE 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

Syntax:
EVOKE 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

Syntax:
EVOKE NETZACH

Oh, Beautiful One! Netzach will increase your charisma, thus strengthening your ego when evoking this powerful cabalistic sphere.

Hod

Syntax:
EVOKE HOD
Power: 3 (any)

When your mind is ill at ease, the sphere known as the Powerful Mind or the Illuminated Intellect can be evoked to clear your consciousness of negative thoughts.

Additional Notes:
Cures two random mental afflictions.

Tipheret

Syntax:
EVOKE TIPHERET

For those who embrace the Center of Perfection will be freed from all bonds, both physical and spiritual.

Additional Notes:
Tipheret will remove multiple entanglements at once.

Hexagram

Syntax:
EVOKE HEXAGRAM

The Ritual of the Hexagram will draw those to you who seek to hide in the trees and the sky.

Geburah

Syntax:
EVOKE GEBURAH
Power: 3 (any)

Embrace the left hand of destruction with the sphere of the Warrior. Evoking it will grant you great strength.

Gedulah

Syntax:
EVOKE GEDULAH
Power: 3 (any)

When you are ill and in pain, the Merciful Hand of Gedulah will touch you and ease your suffering.

Additional Notes:
This cures a random affliction.

Binah

Syntax:
EVOKE BINAH <target>
Power: 2 (Any)

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.

Chockmah

Syntax:
EVOKE CHOCKMAH

Open your eyes to the invisible realm with the cabalistic sphere known to grant the Wisdom of the All Seeing. You will detect those who travel the realms bodiless.

Additional Notes:
Detects dreamweavers and other people out of phase in your location.

Kether

Syntax:
EVOKE KETHER <target>
Damage Type: 100% Magic

Damage Source: Magical

Kether is the highest sphere of the cabala, representing the Crown of Power. Evoking its pure spiritual energy can damage those who are in non-corporeal form.

Additional Notes:
Attacks dreamweavers and other people out of phase.

Greatpentagram

Syntax:
EVOKE GREATPENTAGRAM
Power: 10 (any)

The Greater Ritual of the Pentagram will enclose your location with a protective, sequestoring field. Neither friend nor foe may enter the location through physical means until you first cross its borders. Though entry is not possible even by flying in from an adjacent location, it does not prevent people from exiting. The spell lasts for a limited time.
