Art Research

TranceFlame is a pure energy weapon, which is allows a Dreamseer to focus insight, from its own avatar and direct that energy towards a target. At later plateaus, the density of the expended energy becomes so dense, as can be noticed by its changing color through plateaus, that it may be able to fall an avatar in a single stroke.

Art History

Though the creation of TranceFlame was also created by the same Dreamsmith that created FlameShaft. TranceFlame found to be much more easier to create. Aethir knew that others were already working on Focus flame arts. So he decided to create one for those of the focus Insight. He noticed that it didn't require much focusing and Insight for the art to be used. For Dreamseers are always more focused in the dream than the other focuses. So the creation of TranceFlame came to be.

Alternate History: Truth be told the art of TranceFlame was created by accident in an attempt to compete with the Senders art of flame. The name of this Dreamseer was Aethir.

He was intrigued by the ability of the Senders to conjure a flame from the fabric of the Dream and set out to out do them. He spent weeks in his laboratory under Evernight testing and researching, using the information he overheard Balthus passing to Tenrik.

Proud of what he was able to accomplish in a controlled environment he acted hastily, as we Dreamseers tend to do when the thirst for knowledge dries in our throats. He stepped out to the plane and began evoking the art, but investing too much of his focus element into its creation the flame went wild and consumed most of Evernight, scorching and blackening everything in sight.

Dismayed but not broken Aethir, returned to his laboratory once again this time more confident in his research and results. He calmed himself and as he evoked, he entered a mild trance state that when coupled with the insight he had gained of the element of fire, allowed him to exert his control over the fire as he fed it just a small amount of his focus to create the ball of flame that shot forth.

Finally having mastered the flame he began to show it to others. Several noticed his trancing state while evoking and coined the name "TranceFlame" that has stuck with it to this day. As a note, it is said the research from his first attempts were used for the foundation of the Sender art of Firestorm. But try to get any Sender to believe that!!!

Notes

While casting the TranceFlame, the evoker must remain motionless, or the art fails.
