Tristan Darkwater
"I met Tristan Darkwater once when he visited Sunhold. The lad was bright and friendly but only spoke when etiquette required, and never more than was needed. I am certain he felt great unease socializing among his own kind."
- Darius, Terminal Amurai[1]
Guarding Erris Isle, Tristan communes with the life of every being in the ocean. He is a new Phoenixborn, introduced for Ashes Reborn in The Ocean's Guard.
History
A solitary Phoenixborn, less is known about him than many others. There are hints that he might not be human.
Conjurations
Tristan has created a large number of conjurations, all a part of sea life. The small Prism Tetras can combine into a larger Radiant Leviathan, and disassemble back. He has also made Tidal Crabs, and Seafoam Snappers.

I believe that Tristan's 'Magnify' ability was included partly as a testament to @Nebworb (Ben Brow) who was an Ashes player since 1.0, and who discussed such an ability concept with designer Nick Conley. @Nebworb passed away due to tragic illness during the pandemic times, and is sorely missed as a lovely human being and part of the Ashes community.
