# Magic
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yes that's right! Its *real*. What a concept, I know. Magic is all based
|
||
|
|
around a few things, but no matter where you are in the universe, a few laws
|
||
|
|
hold true:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Magic is Everywhere
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which means, you always have a supply external to your own magic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Magic is Localized
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which means that the given magic within the universe gets pushed and pulled or
|
||
|
|
otherwise pools in areas. Just because magic is everywhere doesn't mean that
|
||
|
|
its distributed evenly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Magic is Wild
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Magic, while it can be controlled, cannot be tamed. Fitting too much magic
|
||
|
|
into a single area can cause spontaneous ignition of the latent energy to
|
||
|
|
violent effect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Magic Users
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several kinds of magic users within the universe (and many more in
|
||
|
|
other universes). Each is different, but most share a lot of overlap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Mage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mages are the generalists of the magic users. Each mage has been gifted their
|
||
|
|
ability to use magic by a deity. These deities have given their blessing with
|
||
|
|
no contract, bargain, or other pact.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* DemiMage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A demimage is similar to a mage, with two major exceptions: the magic granted
|
||
|
|
by their deity is much less powerful; and they are only capable of casting
|
||
|
|
magic from within a subset of types. Each type can very from demimage to
|
||
|
|
demimage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Magicker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Magickers are specialized magic users, only capable of casting a limited range
|
||
|
|
of spells, most only being able to cast one type of spell. These people have
|
||
|
|
made deals, signed contracts, or otherwise given something up to acquire the
|
||
|
|
blessing of their deity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Bracer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bracers are the odd folk out of this bunch. They don't have magic in terms of
|
||
|
|
being able to use it. When magic is concentrated into an area, but stabilized
|
||
|
|
to avoid violent explosions, crystaline structures begin to form. These
|
||
|
|
crystaline structures can then be used and directed by those who posses magical
|
||
|
|
artefacts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Artificer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Artificers are a very special group of magic users. They have been blessed by
|
||
|
|
no deity. Instead, they've studied how to craft artefacts, objects that can
|
||
|
|
stabilize, direct, and attune magic.
