Evocators are powerful humanoid entities commanded by the Witness, its Disciples and allies. They are nimble entities that wield powerful orbs and Paracausal empowerment abilities.
OverviewEdit
Evocators are thin, spindly, vaguely humanoid constructs. They share similar appearance traits to Tormentors and Subjugators with long arms and black claws with four fingers. The major difference is that their fingers and toes are webbed. Their skin appears to be made of the same material as objects found in pyramid structures, and their arms are made from a similar glass-like material. The face is featureless, save for two large eyes, and is obscured under a cloak similar to those worn by the Husks and the Caretaker.
Like other Dread, Evocators were created from Hive Wizards by the Witness using the Traveler's Light. In one instance, Venme, a Wizard of Xivu Arath's Horde, took part in a ritual to have her transformed into an Evocator, having her body and mind reshapped by the memory of a species the Witness recalled from a member preserved in its collective memory. Following the Witness's death within the Pale Heart, the Evocators would be lost and be drawn to the wielders of the Echoes and any lingering leaders of the Black Fleet, including Fikrul, the Resonant Knife, Kerrev, the Erased, Xal Tinar and Stioceon.
GameplayEdit
Much like Grim, Evocators are capable of levitation and are nimble on the battlefield, seemingly swimming through the air. Its main method of attack is firing bolts of Arc energy from its prisms. If a Guardian gets too close to melee them, they can use their prism as a melee weapon. Occasionally, they will thrust their prism upward to create an Arc storm, sending bolts of Arc Energy that can partially track Guardians. They can also slam their prism on the ground to create a pulse capable of temporarily blinding any Guardians looking directly at them. However, their prism also acts as a precision spot that deals more damage to it compared to the rest of its body.
However, the most notable thing about Evocators is their support capabilities. They can empower their allies through Voltic Empowerment to boost their speed and attack. The effect is doubled for enemies with Arc Weapons and Abilities such as most Fallen, Hive Thrall and Wizards and Scorn Abominations. This will be indicated to the player when they begin to draw energy from their prism into their other hand which they will crush, dispersing the energy to all enemies in the vicinity. This can be interrupted by either a powerful shot to an Evocator's prism or certain Guardian abilities that suppress, freeze or suspend.

Evocator's BondEdit
- "― Carve away the excess until all that can be evoked is the moment of new shapes taken. ―"
Resonant memory lines the material of this armor. Imprinted within the folds of forged protection lies the flayed origin of the Dread.
Torches glow Soulfire-green in the depths of a cavern lined with sleek Pyramidal material. A gathering of Acolytes kneel in a circle, Shredders laid flat in the bony palms, with Venme hovering in the centre.
Venme raised her arms and splayed her claws, accepting the coming transformation. She was not afraid of the coming transformation. To have one's form reshaped into one that better serves and fits the Final, Perfect Shape is something many Hive, like herself, saw as the truest expression of the Sword Logic.
She had known Hive who begged to be Taken by Oryx and some who offered their minds to her own God’s Cryptoliths. These "Dread" were no exception. And now, she was to receive that blessing.
A collection of voices silences the hall. "You of the swarm, strengthened from collected knowledge, chosen by the War Dominant to ascend. Accept this knife."
Venme's heart is devoid of doubt as she accepts. She knows the coming transformation will break her down as she still breathes. But she did not cry out. She was accustomed to pain.
"My Witness…" she whispers as the torch flames turn a Resonant orange.
Enveloped…
Her surroundings crumble away, leaving her suspended in a black void that reaches into infinity.
A Voice pierces the Darkness and her mind.
"The Sword Logic is easy to understand, but it has blinded you. The act blinds you to the point of the action. See it, the Final Shape, and be reborn as an instrument of it."
She flinches as her chitin is slowly pried open to make the initial cuts.
