Editing Precedence of Powers

Precedence: A potent concept in the powers of the universe.  [[Jeweled Amber]]

According to the list of High Order Initiations there are generally accepted degrees of empowerment of constructs able to empower High Order Sorcery.  The greater the artifact or initiation used to empower an item, the more rugged the creation is. Spells cast from the frames of these initiations are more powerful according to their ranking in the orders. 

In a general way many elements may be used and combined to create or conjure items of power.  The mixture of powers providing a stronger result. Elements may include Focus, Alter, Inscribing Tool, Sigils of Powers, Adjacent Powers, Sorcery, Conjuration, Psyche, Endurance, Quenching Liquids, Fudge, Herbs and Incense 

The Precedence of Powers is an important concept throughout the Jeweled Amber multi-verse.  It is the basic concept that some items are better then other and some initiations, focuses, power systems, and materials & Material combinations, are better then others. 

'''<big>High order & Low Order</big>'''

High Order Initiations, inscriptions, and tools are often shadowed by less powerful but physically similar Low Order Initiations.   The High Order expressions are extremely durable, effective, and difficult to maintain in most cases.  Low Order expressions are easier to learn, less powerful, and less permanent.  This does not mean they are not potentially dangerous. 

=='''[[High Order Initiations]]'''==

Initiations are constructs and artifacts that impose a higher level of awareness allowing the use of sorcery and other types of magical forces, defenses, and attacks.
===''First Order''===

Each of these first order initiations can be attuned in specific manners in order to allow them to impart their powers.

**The jewel of Judgment is also known as the Eye of the Serpent.  It was removed from the serpent in battle with the Unicorn deep in the ancient origins of existence. it has the most well known history as an artifact focus of creations.  It was used by Dworkin Bariman to create [[Ambe]]r.  It was used by the Serpent to create the [[Logrus]].  It was used by Corwin to create [[Avalon]].  It was used by Adrian to create [[Mandalay]]. The Jewel casts a great many shadows of itself.  Each is a powerful focuses in their own rights.

The Full Horn is one of several Keys to the Tomb of the Ancestors of Darkness.  [[Swayvill]] are allowed attunement by the Unicorn. 
**A third of the horn is in the possession of Queen Moire of Remba.  
**A 2" horn tip is in the hand of Prince Julian of Amber.  It was given to him by the Unicorn at the time of the creation of [[Mandalay]]

It has powerful healing powers, able to restore a living creature to life regardless of the time its been dead as long as some substantial amount of the body is available. It can grow duplicates of living creatures if a suitable amount of material is available to start with and the animal it was taken from is present.

*Wild-The imprint of a New or "Wild" pattern gives the imprinted greater access to far greater power requiring a great deal more control.  One advantage to a Wild imprint is that a lower grade of Imprint can be taken and will be the detectable imprint.  This allows a person to hold two pattern imprints and raise two different sigils, and have two spell frames.

An example is the imprint of Aries Colbresie who studied the pattern extensively and memorized the extensive twists and turns and then walked the pattern despite not being the blood of Amber.  His holding a shade pattern imprint at the time aided greatly in his attempt.
