Aeromancy is the specialization of the element of air and may only be learned in Hallifax, for it draws its power from the Matrix. Teaching the arts of wind, cloud and storm, the Aeromancers are a formidable force to be reckoned with, despite their academic and intellectual leanings.

While in your demesne, you can SENSE who dares to enter your burning land and WATCH who enters and leaves. To check on its status, DEMESNE will show you where its center is, and what powers are curently active and how long they will last. DEMESNE CENTER will change the center of your demense to the current room. You can DISSOLVE your demesne at any time.
