Hi Andrew I hope you're having a good day :D! so I have a few questions about the mesmer and summoner attunements. First of all will the power of your spells as a summoner depend on your contracted creature? Is the effect of forgetting a mesmer like a guardian with a shroud, its passive but you can strengthen the effect or is it more like a active spell? Could a mesmer use the effect on a spell???
Andrew Rowe
1. The effect of your spell as a Summoner depends on the spell itself and the amount of mana used. In most circumstances, your contract only dictates which mana types you have available, not the amount, and thus doesn't directly impact spell power. There can be unusual exceptions, like specific contracts that can provide greater-than-standard benefits for specific spell types as features aside from simply granting mana.
2. The Mesmer effect is a built-in attunement function that can be turned on, off, and enhanced. There are spells with similar effects as well, but they'd have to be learned.

since the function of the arbiter attunement is to purify mana, and Corin has already shown that he can draw mana directly from objects, couldn't he in theory take it a step further, and draw mana straight from other attuned, since we know that the attunements are essentially just incredibly complex enchantments directly on people?

I just finished Sufficiently Advanced Magic and enjoyed it tremendously! Two questions about human development in Corin's world. First, does technology in the spires mirror the outside world, or does technology in the outside world come from the spires? Second, were the big 4 nations able to conquer the spires because they were most powerful, or did they become most powerful because of their access to the spires?
