Book of Beasts

Summoning creatures from books is the most basic description of Book of Beasts, the main style of magic that Bismarck uses. However, it is more complex, seeing as he is contracted with the four creatures, or rather, the four main deities and protectors of the Saedor family. This ability is passed down from every other generation, along with the book that contains each of their souls. Each member who inherits the Book of Beasts is typically favored by one of the four deities. Bismarck is favored by the Azurite Dragon. His grandson, Rudolf, is to be the next possessor of the Book of Beasts.


Patronus, the Azurite Dragon
Of the Four Guardians of the Saedor Clan, Patronus, the Azurite Dragon, favors empathic souls and is especially loyal to Bismarck as a result. Her powers correspond with her element, which has many ties to soothing powers; therefore, in battle, she serves as a better defense than an offense. She is mainly used for travel, being a gentle giant (like her summoner), but her abilities have proven to be quite useful to the very easily-stressed Bismarck. While riding on her, she can activate one of two powers.

When a blue aura surrounds Patronus, she is using Purification of the Mind, which helps clear the mind and sharpen focus.

When a green aura surrounds Patronus, she is using Purification of the Soul, which cleanses the subconscious of emotionally charged thoughts or negative feelings. This ability also helps activate Bismarck's Third Eye and Inner Wyrd. She is weak to earth and fire attacks.

Of the Four Guardians of the Saedor Clan, Eusephon is better known as the Firecat, a male lion made completely of lava. He favors energetic and passionate souls; therefore, he would make a better fit for Nikolas, had he inherited his father's powers. Eusephon can manipulate the very lava he is made of and use it in combat. This spirit is easily angered and does not enjoy being awakened unless it is a true emergency, but when in battle has proven to be quite an enthusiastic fighter. He is weak to water and wind abilities.

Ilphiche, the Simurgh

Of the Four Guardians of the Saedor Clan, Ilphiche is the Simurgh, or the Wolf-Bird, who favors the souls of the wise, therefore having almost favored Bismarck, had Patronus not beaten her there first. Had Phineas been born with the ability, she would have very likely favored him. Ilphiche's powers center around the creation of optical illusions, often very trippy and confusing ones that lead people to believe that they are trapped in Rainbow Sparkle Wonderland. The spell she uses requires her scream, and for it to hit them directly. She is weak to speed and fire attacks.

San-Ronoul (Ronoul), the Shadow Steed

Of the Four Guardians of the Saedor Clan, San-Ronoul, the Shadow Steed, favors ambition and stubbornness; had Phineas been born with the Book of Beasts, he would likely be favored by San-Ronoul. San-Ronoul possesses the manipulation of his own shadows and can grant invisibility to himself and three wizards for up to an hour. He is nicknamed the "Bargain Maker" because he doesn't do anything unless you make a bargain with him, usually involving apples. He is weak to light and wind attacks.
