==Game Description==
#REDIRECT [[Artistry]]
''The art of crafting has been present in [[Geography|Aetherius]] for countless years, from the simple making of letters for writing, to journals for recording histories, to crafting beautiful instruments to bring music to the masses. Artistry allows many mundane things to be created, for use across the world. Yet there are also certain artesian creations that have more esoteric abilities, and though the secrets of their very construction involve symbols and components that can effect the wave of [[Magick|magickal]] tides are not known to those outside of the profession, it is known that masters of their craft can create paintings which can capture the very essence of their subject, allowing them to possess certain abilities of their originator. From the mundane letter to the marvellous portraits, the abilities of true masters of crafting are without parallel.
 
==Sketching==
One of the primary features of the Artistry skillset is the creation of magickally animated paper sketches. These hand-drawn pages of artwork become enchanted loyal servants of the Bard, able to be commanded to perform a variety of attacks upon enemy players.
 
Sketches are classified by the source of their inspiration as follows:
* '''Creature''' sketches mimic any mobile creature in Imperian. They have a simple attack that deals damage and can be used to locate other players in the same area.
* '''Bard''' sketches mimic the [[Bard]] profession. They may use certain [[Voice]] abilities against an enemy to afflict or deal damage.
* '''Druid''' sketches mimic the [[Druid]] profession. They have abilities that can knock down a target or reveal hidden players in the room.
* '''Hunter''' sketches mimic the [[Hunter]] profession. They have freezing and fire attacks and can deliver the formaldehyde [[Toxins|toxin]], as well as provide instant travel across the local area.
* '''Mage''' sketches mimic the [[Mage]] profession. In addition to dealing damage, they can freeze, firelash and summon walls of ice.
* '''Runeguard''' sketches mimic the [[Runeguard]] profession. These focus on delivering toxins, removing defensive shields and punishing an enemy for attempting to flee.
* '''Renegade''' sketches mimic the [[Renegade]] profession. They have the capacity to entangle, stab with poison and garrote an enemy, as well as pull nearby targets from an adjacent room.
 
Only three sketches may be enchanted at one time, and each sketch has a limited number of attacks they may perform before they are destroyed.

''        CALL SKETCHES''
The art of sketching other creatures and players is a very powerful one, as it allows you to bind
their essence to the drawing, and later use it under your control to attack others.
Initially, you are only capable of sketching mobiles. As you study more about Artistry, you will
learn how to sketch players of various magickal professions, and to utilise the sketches against
your foes. These abilities are described in their own AB help files.
To use a sketch, you can tear it out of your sketchbook. Once torn, you can then use the SKETCHLINK
command to link yourself to the sketch and control it. Sketch commands use their own balance, the
length of which differs based on the command - some are more complicated than others. Most sketch
abilities are slower than the corresponding player ones, though.
You can have a maximum of three sketches active at once. If you wish to use more, you can insert
some of the currently active sketches back into your sketchbook. Additionally, the magickal energy
of each sketch is limited - after certain amount of attacks, the sketch will weaken too much and
dissolve.
If you get separated from your sketches, you can use CALL SKETCHES to summon them back to your side.
Sketches can be filled with inks for additional effects - the relevant AB help files describe the
usage of each.
Sketches of mobiles have the following abilities:
SKETCHLINK BATTER <target>

SKETCHLINK LOCATE <target>
