The Shaper Attunement is one of the Attunements of Valia.
One of the Attunements in Hydra Division at Lorian Heights. This division specialises in personal combat and is supervised by Lord Teft.
The Shaper is a Valian attunement with earth as its primary mana type, and enhancement as their secondary type. They are best known for manipulating existing spells and reshaping mana, due to their capable use of enhancement mana. Their unique ability is to spontaneously construct and manipulate objects made out of mana. This is how they are able to make phantasmal floating swords and at high levels simulacrum. Other attunements with earth mana can create solid objects, but they lack the Shaper's ability to create, move, and instantly reshape the object.
The Shaper attunement is primarily a utility attunement, but has very useful combat functions, making it one of the most powerful attunements in one-on-one combat. Shapers are known for creating and manipulating artificial mana constructs, including simulacra. The shaper attunement grants the attuned access to earth mana and enhancement mana, along with their combination: density mana, the source of their mana constructs. At citrine, it grants access to perception mana. The shaper attunement is most commonly found in the Serpent Spire in Valia.
Attunement Features[]
Features that are a result of specific attunement functions, rather than the types of mana available to the attuned.
Mana Constructs[]
Shapers can create and manipulate mana objects made of mana, or mana constructs. This ability is often used to create floating weapons, walls, and platforms.
Simulacra[]
More advanced shapers are capable of creating simulacra, a copy of the attuned created using enhancement mana. Simulacra can either be controlled by the attuned or fully independent, able to think critically and make independent decisions.
