Evocation spells manipulate magical energy to produce a
desired effect. Some call up blasts of fire or lightning. Others
channel positive energy to heal wounds.
that entry is totlaly bs because all magic is “manipulating magical energy to produce a desired effect”
evocation is still “producing elemental effects” and no one is changing my mind
its like how illusions which create solidity are completely different effects from illusions that take away solidity, generally. theres so much more complexity in the latter (mainly for what happens when that solidity comes back, and theres now something else solid in the space which has now become solid, how the effect deals with that)
im not going on official texts here. only on what i know of them and my general feel of how they work.
