Paroxysm

Paroxysm is the wielding of motes, liquids or other amounts of small substances through direction of a collective saltpool. The principle belief behind paroxysm is the willful self-delusion that the amount is of a single entity, which the salt conceptualizes to be true and merges the collective pools of each unit into one. Paroxysts are practitioners of this art, who wield their amount as an extension of their body and will. A Paroxyst's skill determines their amount's dexterity. While a novice can wield their amount and fling it forward, an adept could use it to pick a lock or even as a channel to salter something from a distance.

Paroxysm has a wide variety of practical uses in the world, whether it be used by adventurers offensively, medics medically or handymen, uh, handily.

Mote paroxysm grew through a disciplinary martial arts school in some place. The school trained in the offensive application of amounts, creating paroxysts trained in dexterous hand-to-hand combat using paroxyst magicks as both weapon and tool.

Caloric paroxysm
Caloric magic, the practice of using salt to adjust heat, synergizes with paroxyst magic very well. Caloric paroxysm relies on using charcoal dust or saltered bone grind as a catalyst. A paroxyst is able to wield these combustible motes and apply caloric magick to combust them at will, and is able to create contained bursts of fire or even explosions.

Caloric paroxysm is a subset of paroxyst magic that is most viable in combat. The ability to wield and combust motes in combat has proven to be extremely viable, as well as the ability to replenish one's stock of motes by combusting materials such as wood, bone or plant matter in either settlements with a charcoal furnace or through combustion spells in the field.

Catalysts
The practice of paroxysm is divided between two leading schools of study: Particle paroxysm and paroxysm. The two types of catalysts are controlled very differently from one another, and have different applications based on the differences between the two catalysts. Motes, being light, separate and numerous are useful for physically demanding tasks, such as adventuring or impressing girls by grabbing shit off of high shelves. Liquids, on the other hand, are heavy and are much harder to harness quickly without losing a great deal of your amount; but liquids

Liquid paroxysm's most common application is medically and surgically, to wield and salterate blood and saline potions.
