School Description: Located in Alexandria, The Arcanum was created over one-hundred years ago by Adesina Talon, Avery Pheonix, and Ambroise Veparbain. After a catastrophe that almost led to the end of the world, these three master druids came together to ensure the creation of the Arcanum. The Arcanum’s primary goal is to ensure that there is a constant stream of Druids prepared to protect the natural world. While other colleges of magic have cropped up over the course of the last one hundred years, the Arcanum is considered one of the most prestigious because of the wide range of focuses that students may undertake.
Vocation Description: As a vocation, Druids are the magical protectors of the world. They utilize their bonds with their spirits in order to insure the magical balance of the world above anything else. They are intensely dedicated to the spirits and the realm they call home.
Vocation Tools: Druid Cloak. Druids are granted white cloaks as a sign of their station as a druid. These cloaks have a mind of their own and attempt to keep the druid safe as much as they can. +2 to rolls that deal with nature. This increases by an additional +2 for every year an druid completes at the Arcanum.
Druidic Bonds: Druidic Bonds are the most common magical bond within the World of Vala. It is the bond used by druids. These bonds are inherently symbiotic: benefitting both the Druid and the Spirit they bond themselves to.
Crafting a Druidic Bond: To craft Drudic Bonds, players must first find a willing spirit to bond with. Players and the spirit must decide on the terms of their druidic contract before solidifying it. Individuals in a Druidic Bonds gain the following benefits:
They both gain the ability to communicate with each other from any distance as long as they are in the same plane of existence. Communication does not need to be verbal and can occur mentally.
The Druid may utilize the Spirit’s mana to perform various actions (Casting Spells, Runic Creation, etc.)
The Druid can add an additional modifier (Assistance Modifier) based on the Tier of their Spirit. When the Druid is helping a Spriit make a roll, the Spriit may add +2 to whatever role they get.
Druidic Bond Formula: To complete the bond Druids must roll a contested Charisma roll against the Chosen Spirits Charisma roll in order to convince them to complete the magical ritual.
Spirit Tier: While spirits are separated into tiers, the Sprit power is limited by the power of the Druid. This is to ensure the Druid isn’t overwhelmed by the power of the Spirit. If a lower level Druid bonds with a higher leveled spirit, that’s spirit capacity for power will be lowered until the Druid is strong enough to handle the strength. Low-Tiered Spritis are easier to bond with but have a lower capacity of power compared to higher tiers.

Assistance Modifier: +1
Tier 2 (Spirit Level 6-10)
