Magic System |
The magic system in this game allows the character to manipulate the raw power of mana. All characters under this system have the oppoortunity to use magic. Magic is organised into elements that are then used to create spells. Only spells can be used in combat, however they can be written out of combat, all magic users have the ability to write their own spells. There are three types of magic users the mage, Elementalist & Untrained wielder. |
| Mages are predominently human casters. They have the ability to write & cast spells from any element of magic however they are not as adept as elementalist's in their use of the elemental effects in their spells. Even though they are not as adept as elementalist they can cast multiple spells at once. |
| |
| Elementalist hare largely Elven in race, however it has been known that some humans have been classically trained to be elementalists. These magic users are limited in which elements they can use in writing & casting however they gain a greater knowledge in those elements they use gaining bonuses to their spells. |
| |
| An untrained wielder of magic is someone outside of the two major magic user professions. These are characters that have picked up a magical training proficiency that allows them to cast & write spells. |

Magical Elements |
