Teaching Weatherworking Abilities

The training of psychic adepts is deeply integrated with Duskaran spirituality and tradition. At the age of 12, children undergo the Rite of the Winds, a coming-of-age trial that reveals latent psychic abilities. Those who demonstrate potential are apprenticed to Weatherworking Masters, who guide them through years of rigorous training.

The process begins with meditation and focus exercises, teaching students to attune themselves to wind patterns, temperature gradients, and atmospheric flows. Practical training includes controlled experiments in thermal manipulation, storm prediction, and aura resonance, where apprentices learn to establish telepathic links with native fauna. Group work is a cornerstone of this training, fostering teamwork for large-scale efforts like storm dispersion.

Cultural integration is central to the process. Weatherworking apprentices study the rituals and myths surrounding wind and temperature spirits, instilling a sense of humility and responsibility. Experienced weatherworkers, known as Windcallers, continue their training into old age, maintaining the stability of regional microclimates and serving as advisors to settlement councils.
