The Eleventh Scroll: What is Climb Theory?

Climb Theory is one of the most important ideas behind Dast Casting spell’s movements in the air. The concept of Climb Theory tells of the Haan elements’ movement around the Minbry-Point once the Dast Casting have been constructed.

According to Climb Theory, the Haan elements do not move in a perfect eight-figure formation around the Minbry-Point core. Instead—once it has been projected forward—the Haan elements will ‘’climb’’ forward alongside the spell’s projection. This is due to the will of the Haan elements to always be within the same location throughout their entire travel over Sagen. The Haan elements attempt to bring themselves back to the original location they are naturally in.

This causes the Dast Casting to gain a multitude of different behaviours in the air once casted. Since they continuously attempt to get back to the location they are naturally in: the Haan elements within the spell will always lack behind the projected Minbry-Point which holds them and pulls them forward with it. Because the Haan elements are restrained to circle around the Minbry-Point whilst the spell is being projected forward, the Haan elements move both in the figure-eight movement around the Minbry-Point as well as through the centre of the spell itself.

This in turn makes it so that the Haan elements moves through the centre of the spell and then ‘’waterfalls’’ around the outer regions of the spell composition. This is important because it tells of how the Dast Casting moves whilst casted. And how the spell behaves as it’s being projected forward. One of the ways Climb Theory is important in published text of storytelling is how the Dast Casting affect the people and the area around them. Due to Climb Theory, the Dast Casting, to a character or characters, looks like an erupting volcano once the spell is projected forward. The movements of the spell affect the way it is being viewed by the people in Sagen. Instead of straight beams or clusters of light and colours, Dast Casting spells have a variety of theories within its composition which in turn tells of the spell’s appearance in general.

Another theory, to be showcased later, is a known as the Le-Ka Spindle. This theory tells that the elements around the spell swing around the spell’s forward momentum like the moment of a spindle creating wool yarn. The overarching reason Climb Theory is put here in the introductory texts is to gain an understanding about these types of concepts which take a major part in how the Dast Casting spells behave in storyline text such as within the volumes of the main series.
