The symbol of the evoker mage.

The evocation school of magic included spells that manipulated energy or tapped an unseen source of power in order to produce a desired end. In effect, they created something out of nothing. Many of these spells produced spectacular effects, and evocation spells could deal large amounts of damage. Many iconic offensive spells such as magic missile, lightning bolt and fireball were of the evocation school. The evocation school had no subschools.[1] Other spells were channel energy such as positive energy to heal wounds.[2] A wizard who specialized in evocation was known as an evoker.[3]

“
This world of ours is rife with incredible power - the boom-clap of lightning and thunder, the cycle of life and death inherent to flame, the flash of illumination in a ray of light. The devotee to the School of Evocation dances among this power, guiding it with their own will.
