"Ah yes, Ser Marojha. A kind and gentle soul you would do well not to underestimate. Rare is it that one has a heart filled with equal bravery and kindness. Even to those who would draw steel, he'd sooner show unconditional warmth and love than bloodshed. ...though, one may have to excuse his tendency to be scatterbrained."

At A Glance

Tali'ra, a Keeper of the Moon from the Black Shroud, left his traditional tribal home to pursue a path as an Arcanist in Limsa Lominsa. Through dedication and skill, he has become a Master Arcanist and delved deeply into the arcane arts of Ivallician Arithmeticks, honing his abilities to heal and protect.Above all, Tali'ra is a modest young man seeking to find his place in the realm and those with whom he can share his love and devotion.

^{_{(Below is an exerpt from Tali'ra's research on the connection between Arcanima and Arithmeticks)}}

While the two traditions emerged independently, I propose that their shared reliance on structure, calculation, and precision reflects a unifying theory of magic: that reality itself is governed by predictable, mathematical principles—principles which can be harnessed together for advanced technique by those with the intellect and discipline to wield them.However, before we can fully understand how the two may be used together, we must first understand how they differ.

Arcanima's arcane equation is mostly straightforward, focusing on shaping aether into defined forms and channeling it along predictable, linear paths, drawing from pre-calculated frameworks. This means Arcanists mostly calculate basic geometric configurations and time-linear flows of aether, ensuring their magic remains stable and effective within the rules of time and space. For example, a typical equation for a healing spell to cover a wide area might look like:

ψheal(t,r): Represents the healing waveform applied to the entire area within the spell’s effect.P: The healing potency, based on caster skill and the spell’s base power.A: Total available aether allocated for the heal, which is uniformly distributed within the AoE.R²: Radius squared, which inversely affects potency over distance, meaning targets within the center receive slightly higher potency.Φ( θ,φ): The radial shape function in terms of angles, maintaining a circular spread.e ^i⋅ωt: Time frequency modulation, to synchronize the spell’s duration and intensity with the current moment.

This spell shape allows for a consistent heal across all targets within the field, minimizing the Arcanist’s need to calculate individual coordinates or account for line-of-sight barriers. By using a radial AoE, the Arcanist maximizes efficiency, with only a few variables influencing overall potency and aether flow stability across the spell's duration.

In contrast, Arithmeticks is not constrained by linear time, but must coordinate many more variables to control how aether manifests and interacts with space, time, and the target’s unique properties (sentient or otherwise). The spellcasting equations involve summations, delta functions, and integrals to manipulate aether on a near-gravitational scale, considering complex relationships between multiple entities and variables in real-time. Thus, an equation for a mass area healing spell targeting eight might look like:

Ψheal( t,x ): The resulting healing function that applies individually to each target at position (x) and time (t).δ( r⃗−r⃗_i ): Delta function for each target position (r⃗i), ensuring the healing spell is targeted exactly to each individuals' coordinates.e ^{i( ω_it−k_i⋅x )}: Exponential term encoding the time interval and wave vector, allowing the spell to coordinate across space and time.P_i / d_i: Potency term ( P_i ) that adjusts for distance ( d_i ) from the caster, ensuring that the healing potency does not drop due to range, as each spell instance is individually calibrated.R( ξ_i , τ_i , η_i ): A resonance function that calculates each target’s aetheric frequency ( ξ_i ), time alignment ( τ_i ), and positional modifier ( η_i ). This accounts for unique target attributes like affinities or resistances, tailoring the healing effect to each individual.

This equation achieves simultaneous yet individualized healing by summing eight different applications of the spell in an integral over time. The caster must account for each target’s location, temporal alignment, and aetheric signature, coordinating complex interactions to bypass the constraints of linear casting. This also requires that each healing instance adjust for barriers, distance, and environmental interferences, making it a far more intensive process.However, because of the precise nature of this spell casting, the aetherical efficiency is leaps and bounds over even the most efficient equations of Arcanima. Potency can be calibrated to individual targets to ensure there's never too much or too little, nor is there any wasted aether within ambient space that is functionally required of linear flow.Unfortunately, knowing the theory does little to address the difficulty and mental strain that is required of such calculations, and Arithmeticks, being an Ivalician tradition, has been all but lost to time, buried by the occupation of Dalmasca, followed by Garlean conquest. As such, the esoteric method and teachings are unavailable for reference.As such, I've reconfigured the traditional familiar construct principals of the Arcanist and refined my own carbuncle (Illyola) to act as a sort of bespoke co-calculator as a means to utilize Arithmetick theory, offloading calculations of the smaller components on to them as well as utilizing their aetheric senses to analyze data and variables. While it limits their own independent aetheric functions, it brings considerable relief to the mental strained required for the more difficult non-linear calculations that I attempt and is an invaluable aid.This method is not ideal, I will concede. It's a lateral means to replicate a similar result, but I continue to refine and develop this method further, making changes to Illyola's design as I push my own limits. All the while I search for any information on the true Ivalician tradition in hopes I can revive this arcane art to share with the world.
