Chamon

Known as the Yellow Wind of Magic, Chamon is a manifestation of the Aethyric abstract and reality of logic, the desire to quantify, the desire and need to learn and instruct, and the wish to implement learning to practical or tangible ends. The Magic of Chamon is alchemy, the art and science of transmutation, creation and investigation. Known amongst the Wizards that study Chamon as the “Lore of Metal,” much of its spells are to do with change—rusting new metal to old, turning one metal into another, or enchanting it to become more effective.

Chamon is supposedly attracted to dense material and particularly metals. It is said the heavier and denser the element, the greater Chamon’s attraction is to it, which may account partly for the reason why gold and lead are so often used in magical experiments—one as a magical conductor and the other as a magical insulator.

Chamon is also the Wind of logic and experimentation, thus it also grants spells that protect and encourage such—from aiding the student in their experimentation to drawing insanity from the cluttered mind (useful, considering one so often leads to the other). The so-called Gold Wizards who use Chamon are affected by this logical bent, becoming rather dry and scientific in their ways, rigid and yet strong. Darker whispers indicate that those who weave Chamon can in fact cause their own transmutation, from flesh to gold.
