'''Caelford''' is the most technologically advanced of the major nations on [[Kaldwyn]], excelling in engineering and non-magical warfare. They were the country that developed most of the newest technological advancements, including firearms and powered automobiles<ref name=aa3-a1>The Torch that Ignites the Start - Appendix 1</ref>

Caelford is home to [[Farren Labs]], the leading provider of [[artificial attunements]].

Newly attuned in Caelford have to attend one year of mandatory university training before being given apprenticeships, due to local focus on attunement-augmented manufacturing<ref name="aa1-4">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 4</ref>.

== Geography ==

Caelford is home to the [[Tiger Spire]].

== Politics ==

Caelford is [[Valia]]'s closest Ally, despite not sharing a border, and Caelford's military technology was a large part of Valia's ability to defend themselves during the [[Six Years War]]. Their alliance continues due to the fears that if [[Edria]] defeats one of them, it will focus its efforts on destroying the other<ref name=aa1-19>Sufficiently Advanced Magic - Chapter 19</ref>.

The constant threat of Edria's expansionist nature encourages joint military research projects with Valia, such as [[Project QSTN]].

'''Architects''' can imbue objects with temporary effects, similar to enchantments. Temporary imbuements from Architects tend to be more powerful than [[Enchanter]] enchantments, but have the downside of dissipating in days. The architect attunement has a primary [[mana]] type of [[perception mana]] and a secondary of [[umbral mana]], which can be combined to make [[dream mana]]. At citrine, it grants access to [[enhancement mana]]<ref name=aa3-a4>''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Appendix 4</ref>.

The Architect attunement is most commonly found in the [[Tiger Spire]] in [[Caelford]]<ref name=aa3-a4 />.

== Attunement Features ==

''Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.''

=== Temporary Enchantment ===

Architects can imbue objects with temporary magical effects. These effects are typically stronger than permanent enchantments, made by an [[enchanter]], but only last a few days<ref name=aa3-a4/>.

Attunement

2023-01-20T06:00:52Z

LnlyCloud: Altered some wording and fixed minor errors.

'''Attunements''' are tattoo-like marks that allow creatures with them (known as Attuned), to use magic. These Attunements are earned in a [[Judgment]], granted by a [[Visage]], or obtained while climbing one of the [[soaring spires]], although earning them outside of a Judgment is exceedingly rare. If you pass a Judgment in a soaring spire, you will typically be granted an attunement specific to that spire, although exceptions are known to exist<ref name="aa3-2">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 2</ref>. Attunements are the primary form of magic on the continent of [[Kaldwyn]].

Each attunement grants the attuned a set of abilities, which vary drastically between attunements. Attunements also grant the user access to [[mana]]. All attunements allow the attuned to use their [[gray mana]], and individual attunements initially grant access to two other base mana types, and a third type after reaching citrine level. Additionally, each attunement grants access to a [[shroud]], a magical barrier, starting at carnelian level<ref name="aa3-a2">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Appendix 2</ref>.

An attunement works by collecting ambient mana out of the atmosphere in the marked part of the body, stopping when it reaches the body part's safe mana value<ref name="aa3-3">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 3</ref>. Mana collected in this manner is then able to be used by the attuned, as well as converted (at a small percentage loss) between the types provided by the attunement<ref name="aa1-6">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 6</ref>.

== Attunement Levels ==

Attunements have a "level" based on their current safe mana value. In Valia, these levels are named based on gemstones the color of the generated shroud, starting at Quartz (clear) going up through Carnelian (red), Sunstone (orange), Citrine (yellow), and Emerald (green)<ref name="aa1-a2">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Appendix 2</ref>. Some have theorized that an additional attunement level, Sapphire, exists above emerald, but has been proven to either not exist, or attuned are restricted from reaching it for unknown reasons<ref name="aa3-11">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 11</ref>. Reaching each of these levels requires exponentially more mana than the last, making high-level attuned rare to the point where it is speculated that there are only a one or two hundred Emerald-levels on the entire continent<ref name="aa3-23">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 23</ref>.

Some attunement levels unlock additional functionality, the most obvious example being the [[shroud]], with an aura which changes color at each level to match the level's color, starting with Carnelian. Additionally, reaching the Citrine level unlocks a tertiary mana type. Many attunements also have additional features available at later levels<ref name="aa1-a2" />.

In addition to levels, attunement power is further subdivided into "ranks": A-E within each level. These ranks do not typically grant additional attunement functions, but help to more accurately determine attunement power{{Citation needed}}.

The primary way to increase an attunement's power is to use mana from the attunement location, although other methods exist, such as eating certain mana-rich fruits<ref name="aa1-13">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 13</ref>.

The attunement level and rank signify how much mana is available to the attuned. The thresholds for each level, including the theoretical sapphire level, are below:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Level || Rank E || Rank D || Rank C || Rank B || Rank A
|-
| Quartz || 0 || 15 || 20 || 25 || 30
|-
| Carnelian || 60 || 90 || 120 || 150 || 180
|-
| Sunstone || 360 || 540 || 720 || 900 || 1,080
|-
| Citrine || 2,160 || 3,240 || 4,320 || 5,400 || 6,480
|-
| Emerald || 12,960 || 19,440 || 25,920 || 32,400 || 38,880
|-
| Sapphire || 77,760 || 116,640|| 155,520|| 194,400|| 233,280
|}

== Attunement Locations ==

The location of the attunement on a person's body defines the primary method they will use to direct spells. All attuned will have multiple methods of directing spells, though spells directed through using the attunement are more potent. The location of the attunement also increases the rate of mana regeneration for that part of the body, potentially giving the attuned more access to a particular type of mana. The seven potential locations for attunements are the Mind, Heart, Lungs, Left Hand, Right Hand, Left Leg, and Right Leg.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Location||Effect
|-
|Hand
|While typically on the hand, "hand" marks can also be on the wrist or arm. Hand marks are the most common. Hand marked attuned generally direct spells through a gesture and excel at accurately directing spells at distant targets<ref name="aa1-5">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Chapter 5</ref>.
|-
|Leg
|Leg marks allow for instantaneous delivery of powerful spells through touching a target. Kicking is the most obvious method but mana can be channeled through the attunement to other parts of the body, to be delivered with a touch<ref name="aa1-a3">''Sufficiently Advanced Magic'' Appendix 3</ref>.
|-
|Lung
|Typically target and cast spells through verbal incantations, channeling mana into the air around them by speaking. They are exceptional in large confrontations, and are popular in warfare<ref name="aa1-a3" />.
|-
|Heart
|Channel mana through their entire body into their heart and then out both hands simultaneously. This requires intense focus and slows the casting of the spell, but increases its intensity<ref name="aa1-5" />.
|-
|Mind
|Mind marks enhance the attuned's ability to sense and manipulate the mana inside their body. They are capable of casting spells inside their own bodies purely through focusing their minds<ref name="aa1-5" />.

== Attunement Functions ==
----

Attunements are complicated, but as Corin discovered in AA3 they are more like complex enchantments with multiple functions all working in tandem to accomplish different effects. Functions are parts of the attunement that does one specific thing. That could be something like displaying the attunement rank, or it could be something even more fundamental as evaluating the attuned's safe mana value. But it could also be something more complicated like a [[Summoner]]'s bindings and contracts, or the [[Mender]] ability to heal broken bones.

There are [[general functions]], [[unique functions]], and [[function specializations]] as broad categories of comparing the functions across the attunements. Whereas looking at how the functions work themselves there are: passive, active, and conditional functions and thus even more complexity as to how attunements work.

=== General Functions ===

General functions are ones that are found across ''multiple'' attunements. Common ones are:

# Detect Safe Mana Value
# Detect Attunement Location
# Absorb Ambient Mana
# Store Mana
# Display Attunement Rank
# Generate Shroud

There are other functions in common across attunements. Such as two at Citrine that are:

# Unlock additional mana type
# Mix additional compound mana types

These general functions are well documented by groups like Farren Labs, even ones like the Enhanced Shroud that [[Guardian]]s and [[Shadow]]s possess.

=== Unique Functions ===

Unique functions are where things get a bit into the weeds.

<blockquote> The following information is unconfirmed by canon, although canon does have hints that align with the following </blockquote>

=== Attunement Specializations ===

An attunement may gain a specialization if a specific type of mana is used disproportionately more than others for an extended period. This typically requires at least ninety percent of the mana used by the attuned to be of that type for about a year. When attunement specialization is gained, the attunement changes, gaining an additional line and skewing future mana production toward the specialized type. Some attunement specializations grant additional effects<ref name="aa3-7">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 7</ref>.

An example of this would be an Elementalist specialized in Lightning. Once the specialization was gained, the attunement would start generating a larger proportion of lightning mana. This specific specialization has the additional effect of automatically generating a lightning shroud, rather than requiring the attuned to manually create one.

== Subglyphs ==

TODO

== Artificial Attunements ==

Full article: [[Artificial Attunements]]

[[Farren Labs]], in [[Caelford]], have developed artificial attunements, which are functionally similar to attunements, but without the requirement of taking a judgment. There are other corporations <ref>[https://discord.com/channels/443421134109671424/578706502001360897/877543544615759913 ''Climber's Court #author-answers''] </ref> that have also developed the ability to create artificial attunements, but not to the degree or expertise that Farren Labs have.

Artificial Attunements are incredibly expensive to make, requiring a class 5 mana crystal of each of the mana types used in the construction, as well as having other difficult and expensive to manufacture parts like applicators with purified mana.
