The Feägurthian Shek P'var

The Fyvorian

Fyvorian are shek p'var who specialize in both investing charms into items and controlling and influencing the thoughts of others. As a result, they tend to a class to be rather self-centered and vain. Just as everyone is a potential ally to the J'morvi, everyone is a potential worshipper to the Fyvorian.

Fyvorian are self-confident as a rule, in some cases to excess. Everything can be accomplished if you set your mind and body to it, or preferably someone else's mind and body. Like the J'morvi, Fyvorian are far less concerned about striking out on their own, because potential helpers are around every turn, with the casting of the proper spell.

Fyvorian tend to be gregarious among strangers, and in some extreme cases almost sleazy in their reactions with others. They accumulate magical devices that perform multiple functions. Most will not perform physical work if a spell will do the job faster or (especially) easier.

These shek p'var get along well with most other schools, though all are aware when a Fyvorian is trying to weasel into the good graces of others. The one school that they have a deep dislike for is the Odivshe. Since the Odivshe have control over one group that the Fyvorian can never influence, the undead. They are uneasy at best with the Odivshe.

Fyvorian dress well, usually according to the fashions of those around them. They prefer clothes of good fit and fine fabric, and tend to preen. Their good looks are a hallmark for the group and they wish to make the most of them. Given a choice, they would prefer to associate with other beautiful people, such as elves and paladins, though the latter often seem to be put off by the Fyvorian's manners.

When a bronze weapon is used against a Fyvorian, they receive +1 per die of damage (even if the total is above the maximum damage dealt by the weapon). It is the one thing that can make a Fyvorian actually loose their cool tongue and turn pale.

Fyvorians are very loose in who they allow membership to their chantries. Usually, anyone who can prove they knows an enchantment/charm spell is in, but it is not unheard of for someone with a high charisma to be given an honorary membership either.

Note: Not all Fyvorians are spellcasters. Sages, librarians, contributors, honorary members, scribes, as well as others may hold titles. There is no Virana of this shek p'var and several Shenava. Only spellcasters suffer the side effects.

• Enchantment spells invest non-living objects with magical powers. Charm spells induce change or influence the behavior of creatures usually altering their subject's mental or emotional states. Neither enchantment nor charm spells have any direct effect on their subject's physical form.
• Fyvorian cannot cast or understand invocation/evocation or necromancy spells.
• Fyvorian gain 1 bonus spell per spell level to cast daily as long as it is an enchantment/charm spell.
• Fyvorian make saving throws versus enchantment/charm spells at +1; those enchantment/charm spells cast by Fyvorian have a penalty of -1 to their victim's saving throw.
• Fyvorian have a +15% bonus to be able to learn enchantment/charm spells; but have a -15% penalty to learn all other spells.
• When Fyvorian reach a new spell level, they automatically receive an enchantment/charm spell at the new level even if one was not found.
• Fyvorian can attempt to create a new enchantment/charm spell at one level less for determining difficulty.
• When a Fyvorian reaches 17th level, he acquires immunity to all forms of charm spells.
• When a Fyvorian reaches 20th level, he gains the ability to cast a special free action spell once per day. The Fyvorian can cast this spell on himself or any creature he touches. No material components are required for this spell and the casting time is 1; the Fyvorian merely touches the subject to be affected and concentrates. When enchanted with free action, the subject is able to move and attack normally for one hour, even under the influence of a spell that impedes movement such as slow or web. The spell negates the effect of hold spells. Underwater, the subject moves at normal surface speed and inflicts full damage with weapons provided that the weapon is wielded not hurled.

Fyvorian Spells

Note spells listed in BOLD type are closed spells, which only a Fyvorian may legally know and cast. New spells created in the enchantment/charm arena become providence of the Fyvorian by Petition 179. Also, spells that also belong to other shek p'vars cannot be closed, the only exception to this is Odivshe spells (because their chantries are outlawed).
