Properly speaking, in occult lore the difference between Invocation and Evocation is that invoking a thing means you make its energy part of your spirit, thus taking on its mental and spiritual qualities with (usually) no or next to no physical manifestation; evoking it by contrast means that you literally cause it to manifest physically- make something external. So for your magic scheme, Evocation actually works much better. The way it's used in core D&D actually is a tiny part of what the word itself means- in fact, everything in the Conjuration school except the Teleportation effects would be considered a form of Evocation going purely by the definition.rycanada said:I'm thinking Invocation for Instantiation.
The other three are tough nuts to crack.
Given that, Invocation could actually work rather well for the Telepathy part of your scheme- the idea would be you're "invoking" thoughts of other beings in the cosmos, even other living people.
