Had a new idea for a kind of bastard spellcaster, the Invoker:
Invoking the power of other beings is not something particularly strange in the world of spell-casting, there are in fact numerous (typically at least somewhat religious) varieties of spellcasters whose primary method of casting involves invoking the abilities of some higher power.
Now invokers on the other hand are seen as different. Unlike with the other invocative casters, there is no exchange or communication between the one invoking and the one whose power is being invoked.
To do this invoker requires a remnant of some powerful thing (most often biofacts are used), for example, a mythic hero's strand of hair, a dragon's scale, the fragment of a legendary sword, or a divine's blood droplet suspended in glass.
In order to invoke the power contained within the remnants collected most invokers use a three-staged magical device.
Stage one is the holder where the remains physically go, they're often suspended within an open casing of some sort so they can be swapped in and out with ease.
Stage two is a connector inscribed with the words of rituals that connect the remains to the final stage of the device.
Stage three is the casting head, this is from where the invoked power is sent out and made a tangible force in the world
An example of one of these devices could be a traditional-looking wizard staff with the remnants placed at the top, with the ritual words inscribed upon the shaft of the staff, with a sharpened point acting as the casting head at the staff's base.
An alternative example could be could involve a waist bag-esq holder for the remnant with an inscribed leather cord connecting the holder to a swand acting as the casting head.
Additionally, while most people upon gaining new knowledge and experience of the world increase their own power and become stronger and better people for it, invokers can instead pour this developmental potential into the remnants they possess to increase the power and number of feats remnants are able to perform.¹
Further, if needed an invoker can also pour their own life force into a remnant to give it a temporary boost.²
Additional idea stuff I couldn't add in the main text.
¹ Yes that is just me saying they can level up the remnants instead of themselves, but it's a bit of a gamble as they might not get something good from it (at first at least).
²Yes that is just me saying they can sacrifice health for more powerful abilities, but again it's a gamble but one which can be rerolled if the invoker has placed levels into certain skills. The amount of health sacrificed is also proportional to the power boost gained.
The particular method of invocation used by invokers is descended from a school of assassination spells that sapped people's power at range to either weaken or kill them.
Invoking too much from one entity into short of a timespan can weaken the entity's power temporarily.
Invoking the power of just like some normal guy can drain them so much power that they die.
The things that the remnants are taken from might become aware that their power is being invoked.
Invocation can go massively wrong and the invoked power can turn explicitly against the invoker.
Sometimes the things being invoked will attempt to take revenge against the invokers, by either destroying them or manipulating them with the promise of more power.
Some invoked entities are actually just fine being invoked, as the invoker might actually be spreading their will.
Some people technically fall under the label of invoker but they gain the permission of those who they invoke, these types of invoker are more rare and less disliked and more simply seen as weird.
There can be remnants of intangible things such as forces, these too can be invoked.
The dead can be invoked.
The invoked power of most dead things is generally less potent than the invoked power of those that live.
This idea was created entirely because the word "invoke" sounds cool to me, everything else just kinda spiralled out from that

Using Azure Data Factory with Azure Synapse Analytics
Tumblr media
Using Azure Data Factory with Azure Synapse Analytics 
Introduction
 Azure Data Factory (ADF) and Azure Synapse Analytics are two powerful cloud-based services from Microsoft that enable seamless data integration, transformation, and analytics at scale. 
ADF serves as an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) or ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) orchestration tool, while Azure Synapse provides a robust data warehousing and analytics platform. 
By integrating ADF with Azure Synapse Analytics, businesses can build automated, scalable, and secure data pipelines that support real-time analytics, business intelligence, and machine learning workloads. 
Why Use Azure Data Factory with Azure Synapse Analytics?
 1. Unified Data Integration & Analytics
 ADF provides a no-code/low-code environment to move and transform data before storing it in Synapse, which then enables powerful analytics and reporting.
2. Support for a Variety of Data Sources
 ADF can ingest data from over 90+ native connectors, including: On-premises databases (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, etc.) Cloud storage (Azure Blob Storage, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage) APIs, Web Services, and third-party applications (SAP, Salesforce, etc.) 
3. Serverless and Scalable Processing With Azure Synapse, users can choose between: 
Dedicated SQL Pools (Provisioned resources for high-performance querying) Serverless SQL Pools (On-demand processing with pay-as-you-go pricing)
 4. Automated Data Workflows ADF allows users to design workflows that automatically fetch, transform, and load data into Synapse without manual intervention. 
5. Security & Compliance Both services provide enterprise-grade security, including: Managed Identities for authentication Role-based access control (RBAC) for data governance Data encryption using Azure Key Vault 
Key Use Cases 
Ingesting Data into Azure Synapse ADF serves as a powerful ingestion engine for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources. 
Examples include: Batch Data Loading: Move large datasets from on-prem or cloud storage into Synapse. 
Incremental Data Load: Sync only new or changed data to improve efficiency. 
Streaming Data Processing: Ingest real-time data from services like Azure Event Hubs or IoT Hub. 
2. Data Transformation & Cleansing ADF provides two primary ways to transform data: Mapping Data Flows: A visual, code-free way to clean and transform data. 
Stored Procedures & SQL Scripts in Synapse: Perform complex transformations using SQL. 
3. Building ETL/ELT Pipelines ADF allows businesses to design automated workflows that: Extract data from various sources Transform data using Data Flows or SQL queries Load structured data into Synapse tables for analytics 
4. Real-Time Analytics & Business Intelligence ADF can integrate with Power BI, enabling real-time dashboarding and reporting. 
Synapse supports Machine Learning models for predictive analytics. How to Integrate Azure Data Factory with Azure Synapse Analytics Step 1: Create an Azure Data Factory Instance Sign in to the Azure portal and create a new Data Factory instance. 
Choose the region and resource group for deployment. 
Step 2: Connect ADF to Data Sources Use Linked Services to establish connections to storage accounts, databases, APIs, and SaaS applications. 
Example: Connect ADF to an Azure Blob Storage account to fetch raw data. 
Step 3: Create Data Pipelines in ADF Use Copy Activity to move data into Synapse tables. Configure Triggers to automate pipeline execution. 
Step 4: Transform Data Before Loading Use Mapping Data Flows for complex transformations like joins, aggregations, and filtering. Alternatively, perform ELT by loading raw data into Synapse and running SQL scripts. 
Step 5: Load Transformed Data into Synapse Analytics Store data in Dedicated SQL Pools or Serverless SQL Pools depending on your use case. 
Step 6: Monitor & Optimize Pipelines Use ADF Monitoring to track pipeline execution and troubleshoot failures. Enable Performance Tuning in Synapse by optimizing indexes and partitions. 
Best Practices for Using ADF with Azure Synapse Analytics 
Use Incremental Loads for Efficiency Instead of copying entire datasets, use delta processing to transfer only new or modified records. 
Leverage Watermark Columns or Change Data Capture (CDC) for incremental loads. 
2. Optimize Performance in Data Flows Use Partitioning Strategies to parallelize data processing. Minimize Data Movement by filtering records at the source.
3. Secure Data Pipelines Use Managed Identity Authentication instead of hardcoded credentials. Enable Private Link to restrict data movement to the internal Azure network.
 4. Automate Error Handling Implement Retry Policies in ADF pipelines for transient failures. Set up Alerts & Logging for real-time error tracking. 
5. Leverage Cost Optimization Strategies Choose Serverless SQL Pools for ad-hoc querying to avoid unnecessary provisioning. 
Use Data Lifecycle Policies to move old data to cheaper storage tiers. Conclusion Azure Data Factory and Azure Synapse Analytics together create a powerful, scalable, and cost-effective solution for enterprise data integration, transformation, and analytics. 
ADF simplifies data movement, while Synapse offers advanced querying and analytics capabilities. 
By following best practices and leveraging automation, businesses can build efficient ETL pipelines that power real-time insights and decision-making.
