Book of Dragum Sorkèrt'a

[way (enchant, imbue)]

Dragum Sorkèrt'a (sohr KEHR truh) is the Way of imbuing non-magical material or creatures with magic.  Sorkèrtá changes function without altering Form.  An ancient art, Dragum Sorkèrt'a is the foundation for all talisman and magic item creation.

Sorkèrt'a does not apply to the fashioning of magic from the "air", this is considers Ild'a because the magic is not being placed into something.  For pruposes of explanation, one means of understanding the Sorkèrt'ais to imagine all items as dead to magic (this is not true) until they are enchanted.  An enchanted item contains the essence of Chaos for some period of time.  Chaos erodes at all physical things releasing its magic in the process.  Because of this, all enchanted items wear away over time.  On the other hand, some materials naturally draw magic into them as they decay.  This constant exchange of drawing and releasing Chaos creates the tides of magic in the world of Teréth End.  Understanding of materials' properties is crucial to the continued success of the enchanter.

Although the Draga Orkid consideres familiars under the art of Baras, the homonculous remains a universal icon of Dragum Sorkèt'a.

Notables of Dragum Sorkèrt'a include Elzundir of Korem Tor, Illyya the Old, Madcurth of Çardirrëm, Silvrust the Dying, ...
