Celestial Spirits
Celestial Spirits
Celestial Craft is based on Celestial Magic. Or magic of the zodiac. There are currently 12 different minions available in Celestial Craft that you as the Celestial Mage have to form a contract with in order to summon them. The Spirits are Aquarius, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Sagittarius, Leo, Aries, Scorpio, Gemini, Capricorn, Pisces, and Libra. These 12 each have unique strengths and each cost unique amounts of power to summon as well as maintain.
You can only have one type of Spirit out at a given time. For example you cannot call forth two of Libra. Not only does that not make sense but it is also just dumb to be able to summon more than one sign of the Zodiac at a given time. However, this does not mean that you cannot summon multiple Spirits. For example a Celestial Mage might find that Libra and Leo are the two spirits that can do the best for the current job. Do keep in mind however, that having two spirits out drains the Mage's power significantly as each spirit has an independent cost to keep summoned. Not to mention their strength is determined by your current Celestial Power and is updated in real-time.
Celestial Spirits and Contracts
A Celestial Mage must form a contract with their spirit. This means that should the Mage manage to create one of the keys required to bring forth their spirit a contract will be formed with that spirit once they first summon them. What is the nature of this contract? Well this contract binds itself to that specific key. Meaning that once you summon Libra for example with your newly forged key. That key belongs to you can can only be used by you (mainly for a LAN or SMP setting). Your spirit also tracks how many times you have summoned it. If you are on SMP or in a LAN world and someone happens to get your key they will not be able to summon your spirit. She will not respond to their call. However should the foolish Celestial Mage lose or break their key, the contract in turn will be broken and the Celestial Mage must form a new contract, with a new key and keys are not cheap to create.
