Cantrip: Gaoth / Htoag
Sources	Arcana: Zephyr (Aether) Races: Jin'Norai Fauna: None Flora: None Minerals: None Alkahest: None
Errata	Behaviors: Gaoth provides entities or objects with a notable resistance to wind, thunder, and lightning. Htoag does the opposite. Gaoth works against the mundane harms of wind, thunder, and lightning, but not any secondary magical effects living within them. Artificial gases with Gaoth such as those produced by Alchemists are much more difficult to manipulate with spells / effects except by their creator. Gaoth may be overwhelmed by excessive amounts of storm volume, or high velocities of such. As a rule of thumb, thrice-casted Aeromancy / Stormcalling of the tier one is immune to will begin to harm an entity or object with this Cantrip. Gaoth / Htoag affects the lightning, but not the electricity or static of Fulguratio. Journeyman+ Htoag often requires a helm of equivalent-tier Gaoth to wield without harming the wielder's hearing. Conditions: Gaoth is only active within or when held by Galsterei, during windy weather conditions, and within or near to Céleste. Htoag is only active in or upon Galsterei, within or when held by someone out of breath with the urge to breathe, or within Avernus. Channeling: Zephyr Chronology: Hours Gnosis / Minutes Porosis
