Introduction

The Path of Yavi is the branch of Osia concerned with the manipulation of wind and air spirits tied to Yavi, the Primordial Spirit of air. Its practitioners, known as disciples of the Path of Yavi, manipulate the flow of wind, the currents of the sky, and breath.

Principles

The Path of Yavi involves the manipulation of wind spirits, from the smallest breeze to a gale. These spirits change constantly. Followers of the Path of Yavi attune their minds to the forces that shape the sky and wind, and gain the ability to control air currents, direct gusts, and influence the breath that sustains living things.

Wind spirits react quickly and move easily, which makes them responsive to skilled practitioners. Control must be subtle and adaptive, however, as wind is difficult to hold and command.

Spiritual Hierarchy

The wind spirits manipulated by disciples of the Path of Yavi exist at various levels of consciousness. As in other branches of Osia, they grow in complexity and power as they develop:

Nascent spirits: The smallest movements of air, such as a passing breeze or the stirring of leaves. Followers of the Path of Yavi can manipulate them easily, directing small gusts or controlling the air within a limited area.
Mature spirits: Spirits of larger air masses, such as the winds that drive storms or the currents that shape the weather. Influencing them requires greater skill, as they are more independent and govern the movement of air over whole regions.
Ancestral spirits: Ancient wind spirits that govern the great winds and long-standing weather patterns. Only the most accomplished disciples of the Path of Yavi commune with them, seeking wisdom or help in controlling large areas of air.

Training and Attunement

A disciple of the Path of Yavi trains to attune the mind to the changing currents of wind spirits. Training begins with simple tasks, such as controlling a small breeze or directing the flow of air around an object.

As they progress, followers of the Path of Yavi learn to control larger winds and to influence the weather over greater distances. At the highest levels, master disciples can summon and calm storms and can guide the breath of others, influencing their vitality and strength.
