The Phoros

(FOR-os) The Burning Phantoms, Floating Flames, Mighty Lights

Summary

The Phoros are immortal, immaterial magical beings from a realm of raw and chaotic energy. They appear as floating, glowing spheres of light or fire, and their full power can be damaging to unprotected material creatures. Some have likened them to “living stars” and they may be responsible for the legend of the will-o’-wisp. Magicians call upon them and their realm for energy and power.

• Flames of the Phoros are actually several different applications of the raw magical power that is the essence of the Phoros’ realm, capable of a number of discrete effects.
• Phantasms of Phoros, also known as the “Fata of the Phoros,” shapes flickering light to create visual Illusions, the simplest being the appearance of floating orbs of light similar to the Phoros themselves. Unlike many magically made illusions, the images are formed of light, so they’re visible to all, not hallucinations in the targets’ minds.
