The Fundamental Wellspring, having created both magic and matter, is also responsible for the creation of the planes of existence. The Everwilds are a particularly chaotic soup of energy gone wild. As the archfae came about, they encouraged the chaos, fanning the flames of magical power in the Everwilds to run absolutely amok. It has self- perpetuated itself and diffused over that particular plane of existence to the point where it is its own self-contained, self-propagating source of magic: the Primal Source.
Many primal casters organize into conclaves, which are loosely connected networks of casters with shared ideals. The two most famous primal conclaves in Ancerra are the Storm Conclave and the Haven Conclave.
The Storm Conclave
The Storm Conclave are vengeful naturalists trying to burn down society and return everyone to hunter-gatherer lifestyles, the way that they believe nature intended. They especially target international trading groups or popular routes utilized by intercity merchants, trying to destabilize the veins of modern living and return the world to its days of glory.
The Haven Conclave
The Haven Conclave are guides and sentinels. Their cloisters offer shelter and solace from the storm. Their rangers and oracles stand on the edges of the more depraved elements of wilderness, defending innocent humanoids and beasts alike from unnatural threats. Others might offer their services as guides to merchants or adventuring parties struggling to navigate a fearsome land.
Primal Magic Types
In addition to spells, primal casters can learn chants and invocations.
Chant. Chants cost no SP and you can use them as many times as you wish.
Invocation. If you know any invocations, you may cast invocations a number of times equal to your Primal Tier. This resets each time you Take a Rest.
Primal Tags
These tags are referenced by some primal magic abilities.
Emotion, Nature, and Weather
These are a set of three tags that reflect the aspect of the Everwilds that a given magical ability represents. Every primal magical ability has one of these tags. This has no effect on the magical ability itself, but some talents reference these tags.
Extrinsic and Intrinsic
These tags reflect whether a magical ability affects the world around you or simply bolsters your own abilities in some way. Every primal magical ability has one of these tags. This has no effect on the ability itself, but some talents will reference these tags.
Primal Power
Primal Power is the total number of talent points you have spent on Primal Magic talents as a result of leveling up, in addition to the number of talent points you have spent in certain classes or tracks. These classes or subclass tracks will specify that they contribute to Primal Power.
Primal Tier
Your Primal Tier increases at varying increments of Primal Power, as shown on the table below. Your Primal Tier affects both your chants and your invocations. Chants gain power based on your Primal Tier, and if you know any invocations, then you may cast a number of invocations per day equal to your Primal Tier.
| Primal Power | Primal Tier |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | 1 |
| 3-4 | 2 |
| 5-7 | 3 |
| 8-12 | 4 |
| 13-20 | 5 |
| 21+ | 6 |
