The School of evocation and conjuration grants the power to create something from nothing, whether that be calling forth a stream of fire, erecting a protective barrier or producing real food, even if only temporarily. It is deeply tied to the Planescape, as its magic is able to contact and summon interplanar beings and teleport objects through space. It is considered by many to be the simplest of the mystic arts, a brutish form dedicated to destruction and lacking subtlety. This reputation comes from the many firebrands who seek to study magic for the sole purpose of vanquishing their enemies and gaining glory. They will never achieve the true heights of magic, as they lack the vision to understand its depths.
The Hand of Creation is the oldest magic harnessed by mortals and the most fundamental. It taps into the raw magic of the universe and touches its foundation. While Hand magic may be the simplest in its basic application, mastering it is necessary to truly understand the world.
