Magic & Arcane Infrastructure

  • Tools: Tide-Staves (carved from deep-sea bone-coral, channeling hydromantic energy), Pressure-Crystals (storage devices for tidal magic).
  • Regulation: Strict licensing by the Tide Council; misuse of tidal manipulation or unauthorized pressure-wave attacks led to Depth-Banishment—exile to the lightless abyssal plains. The modern Nereid restrictions on Tidal Disruption and Abyssal Summoning are direct continuations of Ocearan law.
