Celestial Beacon

The Celestial Beacon enchantment allows a Moon Mage to focus a moonbeam from afar through cooperation with another player.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

A celestial beacon is an enchantment created by a Moon Mage for the purpose of allowing a moon mage the ability to focus a moonbeam from a distance. A completed celestial beacon can be attuned to ANY moon mage providing they are holding it in their hands. An 'attuned' celestial beacon can be given to another player of any guild and at any time that player can INVOKE the celestial beacon to let the moon mage attuned to the beacon sense the beacon and focus a moonbeam at that location, if they so choose.

Items needed to construct the Celestial Beacon enchantment:

* Knowledge of the Imbue spell
* Knowledge of the Shadows spell if you are creating a Katamba celestial beacon
* Knowledge of the Dazzle spell if you are creating a Xibar/Yavash celestial beacon
* 1 Enchanter's Burin
* A source for the sigil of the Cat
* A source for the sigil of the Magpie
* A source for the sigil of any of the 3 moons
* A spell that can activate sigils (Shadows, Dazzle or Unleash)

Steps to creating:

1. 'Spell up' with Seer's Sense, Clear Vision, Piercing Gaze and Aura Sight. This step is optional, but recommended.

2. Focus a moonbeam.

3. Cast Imbue

4. Charge the shard with mana. This step is the balancing act I spoke of. You must bind the raw mana into the shard via shadows or dazzle (shadows for katamba shards). Doing so will reduce the amount of raw unbound mana in the shard, and the shard will also be leaking the unbound mana. If the shard runs out of unbound mana, the shard goes poof, so you must keep it charged up while binding/casting. This is supposed to take some work. Luckily, moonbeams are free.
Once it's a solid shard:

5. Scribe Cat

6. Scribe Magpie, active the sigil, and bind it.

7. Scribe any moon sigil, activate and bind it.

Using a Celestial Beacon enchantment:

To attune the shard to a specific mage, the complete shard is charged and focused on. If you don't charge it enough, you won't feel bound to it, so charge more.

To clear the attunement so another mage can be attuned to it, invoke the shard.

To use an attuned shard, the user raises it. The mage it's attuned to will sense it's been raised and can focus a moonbeam on it by CAST <MOON> <PERSON>. Focusing a beam will use up the shard. If the shard is raised but no beam is focused on it, the shard remains and can be raised at a later time.

What you see when someone uses a celestial beacon:
Lilea lifts her blue shard skyward. Light engulfs her arm as it flashes brilliantly.

What you sense when someone uses a celestial beacon attuned to you:
With your mind's eye, you see Lilea bathed in a brilliant light as a connection is formed between you both.

What you see when you activate a celestial beacon:
As you lift the black shard to the sky, it seems to move with a mind of its own. Pulling your arm aloft, the black shard flashes brightly, stunning you.
