The Nineth Scroll: What is Trimél’s Uphold?

Trimél’s Uphold is the practice of forcibly altering Haan elements to change their natural state for Dast Casting.

Trimél’s Uphold works by forcing Cambriny elements to interfere with Dhemsen elements by linking the groupings onto each other without the usage of other types of Haan elements. The practice of Trimél’s Uphold isn’t necessarily much different from Dast Casting itself with regular spell compositions.

It is, however, the practice of forcing the Haan elements to interact with each other differently than normal Dast Castings that makes it gain its unique abilities opposed to projected, destructive Dast Casting spells. Though it’s possible for any Dast Caster to cast Trimél’s Uphold-related spells, there are very few who have Trimél’s Uphold spells within their grimoires alongside their normal Dast Castings. The main reason for this is the strain to the Caster’s mental state. Trimél’s Uphold’s primary function has to do with healing and summoning spells.

The main abilities which make Trimél’s Uphold spells possible lay within Dhemsen where Cambriny elements then interlock and alter the state of. Using the Dhemsen elements’ abilities of dragging, the Cambriny change the Dhemsen’s natural states to pull skin together to heal wounds and drag objects for summoning spell compositions. The practice of Trimél’s Uphold is as old as common Dast Casting and was discovered by the first generation of Eferian Elves when Ferian ruled as the Arch Yuli of Yulis. ‘’Trimél’’ comes from the name Orian-Rella Vei Trimél who were among the first Yulis alongside Ferian after C’alorus gave Sagen to them.

Trimél’s Uphold spells have played a major role for the Eferian people since the practice was first discovered. This is due to Trimél’s Uphold spells having served as the first iteration of medical care. The ability to heal injuries in quicker and safer ways have lent Trimél’s Uphold spells to gain favour amongst many Haan practicing circles. Including those who are against Haan practices in general.

Dast Casters specialising in Trimél’s Uphold spells can be found all throughout the Eferian continent. Even in places where people who practice Haan are at risk of violence. This is due to the powers Trimél’s Uphold spells have for the average person’s life where Haan healing spells have changed the way people live. And it isn’t just in places of worship where the practices of Trimél’s Uphold spellcasting can be found.

For the summoning side of Trimél’s Uphold, the practice of spells for the creation of constructs is much rarer to find. The main reason for this is due to the spellcasting for summon spells requires constant focus from the Caster to stay within its construction. There always needs to be a continued power source from the Caster for the construct to stay in its structure. Trimél’s Uphold healing spells relays heavily on the Dhemsen side of the Dast Casting whereas summoning spells relays heavily on the Cambriny side of the Dast Casting. Because summoning spells need the heavy influence of the Cambriny elements, the control over the casted construct isn’t always reliable. This is due to the Cambriny being the only Haan elemental grouping whose nature isn’t completely known to the Sagen people. And how the Cambriny elements behave can’t be fully calculated.

This is also one of the reasons why summoning spells aren’t that common to see within many Dast Casters’ primary specialties.
