Weather away at the sway of the elements.

— Invoker

Elonian elementalists first developed the way of the Invoker after studious research into the history of the Djinn. By using arts similar to Djinn binding, elementalists are able to separate a portion of their elemental mastery to create a greater elemental construct, an Elemental Lord. Invokers proved advantageous for survival in sandy extremes allowing the elementalist to travel party-less with the support of their elemental lords. Rifles became the favored weapon among the first Invokers for their simplicity of operation, accuracy, and ease of transport in the lands of Elona. Invokers are valued for their potent survival strategies and ability to operate in solo endeavors, for where you find an Invoker their elemental companions are never far behind.

Invoker skills[edit]

Profession mechanic[edit]

Invokers are able too a summon an Elemental Lord by sacrificing one of their attunements. While an Elemenal Lord is active, the utilized element is no longer available for the elementalist to utilize, effectively locking them out of that element. Unlike the Elonian Djinn, while Elemental Lords can act independently they are not sapient; they are instead an extension of the elementalist's intents, thus they are only able to utilize stronger abilities based on the attacks of their summoner. These abilities are termed as Skill Syncs, an Elemental Lord will use these abilities as the elementalist activates the corresponding ability on their skill bar on the same target as their summoner. As an apex elemental being, they also create a permanent field around themselves corresponding with their element and pulse their element to foes around them.
