The Feägurthian Shek P'var

The Savoryan

Savoryan tend to be more bookish and introspective than the other magical brethren. The gathering of knowledge is very important and many who dabble heavily in divination magicks as active adventurers settle down and become sages later in life.

While Peleahns might flee a conflict, Savoryans would prefer to ignore it entirely, and seek to use their spells to gather information to help them in that course. Careful planning is the watchword of most Savoryans, as those with impatient minds and itchy spell fingers are usually pointed toward the Jenzig or J'morvi as a magical school.

Savoryans are careful, almost plodding. Correct wording and literalness are the watchword of the diving class, and detection is their business. As a school they suffer in comparison with other schools, and that lesser divination spells are available to all mages, regardless of class. This seems to create an inferiority complex among diviners who seek to prove their worth over their more flashy brethren. Of course, this makes them even more careful, literal, and plodding. Since the fall from favor of the Tazmut, the Savoryans have risen in royal favor and are now respected advisors of royalty.

Savoryans tend to wear modest clothing of severe cut and style. Hair is almost always kept back out of the face, and there is a minimum of loose ends about them. They tend to haunt libraries and other places of learning.

Because of the Savoryans mystical link with spirits, deities, and the like once a month a Savoryan must make a save versus fear or suffer a spell check penalty for the entire next day. The penalty is -1 per 3 levels the Savoryan has gained.

Note: Not all Savoryans 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.

• This school includes a variety of spells that reveal information that would otherwise remain hidden or secret. Divination spells reveal the existence of specific items, creatures, or conditions, as well as information about the past, present, and the future. This school also includes spells that contact creatures from outer planes of existence, but do not induce direct action from those creatures.
• Savoryan cannot cast or understand conjuration/summoning spells.
• Savoryan gain 1 bonus spell per spell level to cast daily as long as it is a divination spell.
• Savoryan make saving throws versus divination spells at +1; those divination spells cast by Savoryan have a penalty of -1 to their victim's saving throw.
• Savoryan have a +15% bonus to be able to learn divination spells; but have a -15% penalty to learn all other spells.
• When Savoryan reach a new spell level, they automatically receive a divination spell at the new level even if one was not found.
• Savoryan can attempt to create a new divination spell at one level less for determining difficulty.
• When a Savoryan reaches 17th level, he acquires immunity to all forms of scrying spells, such as ESP, and know alignment, as well as immunity against magical items that duplicate these effects. No information at all is received.
• When a Savoryan reaches 19th level, he receives the ability to cast a special find traps spell three times per day. The spell has an area of effect equal to a 10 foot path up to a range of 30 yards. To cast the spell, the Savoryan must merely point in the desired direction and concentrate; no verbal or material components are required. The find traps reveals the existance of all normally concealed magical and mechanical traps, including alarms, glyphs, and similar spells and devices.
• When a Savoryan reaches 20th level, he receives a special divination spell once per day. To cast the spell, the Savoryan must concentrate for one full turn; no verbal or material components are required. Divination reveals a useful piece of advice concerning a specific goal, event, or activity that will occur within the next seven days. The revelation may take the form of an omen, a short phrase, or a cryptic verse. The chance for a correct divination is 80%.

Savoryan Spells

Note spells listed in BOLD type are closed spells, which only Jenzig may legally know and cast. New spells created in the invocation/evocation arena become providence of the Jenzig by Petition 179 (explained above). 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).
