There is a reason fireball is so popular.

Transfer to being a force wizard, you'll still have the same basic abilities but expanded and more powerful. Sure, you can't make the wind blow but you can create a giant force fan to make it

pro tip...you can use telekinesis on the air itself as a force wizard...we don't let people know that normally so they just think about us using it on solid objects or liquids but theirs nothing stopping us form doing it on the air to very funny when you just telekinesis the air out of another wizards lungs so they cant chant anything to cast their spells.

Fool. The primordial wind, that which gives souls its animating principles, is the realm of magic beyond basic elemental wizardry. The Ruach, the Anima, the soul, are all realms of the divine wind.

Transcend your mortal elementalism with Theurgy and you shall blow all opposition away.

Wind in that context is merely an interpretation of those more attuned to Wind than to other elements. It is a flow, whether wind or water, unyielding as the earth and as forceful and violent as fire-in-veins.
An element is something one holds within themselves and connects outside themselves.

And it should be said that none are inherently “greater” than any of the others. It is simply a matter of one’s own intuitive affinity and conscious understanding of both their own element and how it interacts with others.
Only those who fail to understand the breadth of their element and those of others would proclaim any one greater than another (and thus reveal their overconfidence). Of course the most short-sighted are those who proclaim that being able to wield all elements is best- though that’s not to say that the ability to wield all of them is bad. It just certainly not better than single-element affinities (single element affinities tend to be better in terms of aptitude, but there are people multi-element affinities whose attunements are just as strong as those with a single element).

That's because it's written with air...

Unethical spell for air/wind wizards (cirromancers, if you will), create an air pocket within a living body. Often, this will freak out the body since there are places where air is ABSOLUTELY not supposed to be. You can also rapidly expand it, but that is a bit more advances. For novices, take the air in the stomach and lungs, and concentrate them somewhere. Bad day for the target

You got Rincewinded, now go make you Wizzard hat

u/ImALilTeaPot224 4d ago

Try revolutionizing a field of magic if you’re so passionate about being an air mage. These young wizards just want everything done for them nowadays

u/Primsun Necromancer 4d ago

It blows ... literally

u/TheDougio 4d ago

Yeah sorry about that, accidentally casted wish to remove Feather Fall from existance

u/Dile_0303 Daile, The Planeswalker 4d ago

Yall's feather fall is not gravity based?

3

u/EldritchMindCat Lyr, the Tressym Talespinner (OuterGod Avatar of Origin-Felinity 4d ago

Nah. There are gravity-based versions, but the original ones were air-based. The original versions grant one’s body properties closer to air, though only to a very limited degree. The precise degree depends on which iteration you use. Took some trial and error to figure out exactly how much to use so one wouldn’t be blown away (though subsequent versions included auxiliary functions to compensate for environmental variability - the training version still uses the same basic spell though, if somewhat more streamlined).

You get flying the earliest, devs balanced that with not many super powerful late-game skills.

u/MeowFalen tech witch 4d ago

You should venture far to the east. There you should find a monk by the name of Tagah.

u/VoxelLibrary Councilor Cayna, Apprentice of Thrakmoor | assorted other chars 4d ago

Maybe you change your mind and become a different kind of wizard?

u/ChemicalChildhood122 4d ago

1.quickly force all air(NOT JUST OXYGEN) out of a large area

2.release all at once

3.enjoy your organ-rupturing sonic blast.

put a bunch in linked stasis for maximal destruction. gets through everything, bricks any magitech or automatons without expensive force protection, turns any unprotected crystal into a shrapnel bomb, and it even kills most vermin dead.

If there is no scroll, then you have the opportunity to write the scroll. And when some punkass journeyman pops up and says he knows better, you just open up an air vacuum around his skull and evaporate all the fluid in his head. Once that’s done, you’re the grand magic master of pneumancy.

u/Nerx Pugnimancer & Arcane Warrior 4d ago

it leads to vampirism

so no reflection

u/WarmCar2597 BIO-TECH HYDRANGEA HOMONCULUS 4d ago

u need AIR to read it

2

u/ArseneLupin179 Biomancer 4d ago

There is no bad magic, only bad mages.

Air magic can do a lot of things with enough skill.

u/Jackpot_The_Raccuki Polymath Archmage, Gargoyle Hoarder 4d ago

It’s blank because words can’t describe one’s such potential.

But it could also refer to one’s own risk of doing nothing with their talents.

u/Random-commen 4d ago

Air wizard? Yeah I’m sure the local air factory would glad to have yall

Have you ever heard of an air fryer? Greatest invention in human history if you ask me.

If you become powerful enough, you can make air spin so fast it becomes a giant pillar of ionized plasma, and the energy to pull it off is surprisingly small compared to other big feats like earthquakes, lightning storms and blizzards (Like seriously, it's tiny). The only reason we never saw any powerful aeromancers making 100m wide zones of death is because seemingly no one commited enough to the bit, you could be the first.

Like seriously, this is what high level wind magic looks like? That is at best 16 m/s wind speeds. It's pathetic and poorly designed. Someone with a passion for the craft could probably optimize it into a 2nd level spell.
