MAGIC

Magic is not divided into types or kinds with regard to good or evil, moral or immoral, black and white. Magic is impersonal, open-ended and it is exactly the same no matter where it is practised throughout the world. What makes it good or evil, is not the kind of Magic that you use, but the use to which you put it. For example, one can use a prayer, and invoke the power of the SB in that prayer. Your prayer might be that someone is to be cursed. This means that you have used the power of God for the purposes of practising black magic. It is also possible to invoke a demon, straight out of the abyss, and to get that demon to heal someone. That would, however, be an example of white magic, despite the fact that you are using a demon to assist you. These are obviously two extremes, but it shows us that the essence of magic is not white or black, good or evil but totally and utterly neutral, detached and impersonal. It is a force that one can use for doing good or evil. The way that we use this force will determine whether it is black or white, not the actual magic itself. Therefore, magic as it stands, is not divided. It's use, motives, applications, intent and objectives make Magic black, grey or white. This is because between the two extremes of black and white, are thousands of shades of grey. It is impossible to judge the shades of grey, because if we look at a person from a primitive society, then that which they do, which would be perfectly legitimate for them in a tribal society, would be black magic for a more cultured people. It would probably be in line for them however, and they would call it "good, sensible

living."

Sub school's of Magic
The main schools split into several subschools. Some of the subschool categories can be found within more than one

school.
Healing
Calling
Charm
Compulsion
Summoning
Creation
Glamer
Figment
Pattern
Phantasm
Scrying
Shadow
Soul
Teleportation

Abjuration
Abjurations are protective spells. They create physical or magical barriers, negate magical or physical abilities, harm trespassers, or even banish the subject of the spell to another plane of existence. If one abjuration spell is active within 10 feet of another for 24 hours or more, the magical fields interfere with each other and create barely visible energy fluctuations. The DC to find such spells with the Search skill drops by 4.
If an abjuration creates a barrier that keeps certain types of creatures at bay, that barrier cannot be used to push away those creatures. If you force the barrier against such a creature, you feel a discernible pressure against the barrier. If you continue to apply pressure, you end the spell.

Conjuration
Each conjuration spell belongs to one of five subschools. Conjurations bring manifestations of objects, creatures, or some form of energy to you (the summoning subschool), actually transport creatures from another plane of existence to your plane (calling), heal (healing), transport creatures or objects over great distances (teleportation), or create objects or effects on the spot (creation). Creatures you conjure usually, but not always, obey your commands.
A creature or object brought into being or transported to your location by a conjuration spell cannot appear inside another creature or object, nor can it appear floating in an empty space. It must arrive in an open location on a surface capable of supporting it. The creature or object must appear within the spell’s range, but it does not have to remain within the range.

Calling
A calling spell transports a creature from another plane to the plane you are on. The spell grants the creature the one-time ability to return to its plane of origin, although the spell may limit the circumstances under which this is possible. Creatures who are called actually die when they are killed; they do not disappear and reform, as do those brought by a summoning spell (see below). The duration of a calling spell is instantaneous, which means that the called creature can’t be dispelled.

Creation
A creation spell manipulates matter to create an object or creature in the place the spellcaster
designates (subject to the limits noted above). If the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, magic holds the creation together, and when the spell ends, the conjured creature or object vanishes without a trace. If the spell has an instantaneous duration, the created object or creature is merely assembled through magic. It lasts indefinitely and does not depend on magic for its existence.

Healing
Certain divine conjurations heal creatures or even bring them back to life.

Summoning
A summoning spell instantly brings a creature or object to a place you designate. When the spell ends or is dispelled, a summoned creature is instantly sent back to where it came from, but a summoned object is not sent back unless the spell description specifically indicates this. A summoned creature also goes away if it is killed or if its hit points drop to 0 or lower. It is not really dead. It takes 24 hours for the creature to reform, during which time it can’t be summoned again. When the spell that summoned a creature ends and the creature disappears, all the spells it has cast expire. A summoned creature cannot use any innate summoning abilities it may have, and it refuses to cast any spells that would cost it XP, or to use any spell-like abilities that would cost XP if they were spells.

Teleportation
A teleportation spell transports one or more creatures or objects a great distance. The most powerful of these spells can cross planar boundaries. Unlike summoning spells, the transportation is (unless otherwise noted) one-way and not dispellable. Teleportation is instantaneous travel through the Astral Plane. Anything that blocks astral travel also blocks teleportation.

Divination
Divination spells enable you to learn secrets long forgotten, to predict the future, to find hidden things, and to foil deceptive spells.
Many divination spells have cone-shaped areas. These move with you and extend in the direction you look. The cone defines the area that you can sweep each round. If you study the same area for multiple rounds, you can often gain additional information, as noted in the descriptive text for the spell.

Scrying
A scrying spell creates an invisible magical sensor that sends you information. Unless noted otherwise, the sensor has the same powers of sensory acuity that you possess. This level of acuity includes any spells or effects that target you, but not spells or effects that emanate from you. However, the sensor is treated as a separate, independent sensory organ of yours, and thus it functions normally even if you have been blinded, deafened, or otherwise suffered sensory impairment. The sensor can be dispelled as if it were an active spell.
Lead sheeting or magical protection blocks a scrying spell, and you sense that the spell is so blocked.

Enchantment
Enchantment spells affect the minds of others, influencing or controlling their behavior.
All enchantments are mind-affecting spells. Two types of enchantment spells grant you influence over a subject creature.

Charm
A charm spell changes how the subject views you, typically making it see you as a good friend.

Compulsion
A compulsion spell forces the subject to act in some manner or changes the way her mind works. Some compulsion spells determine the subject’s actions or the effects on the subject, some compulsion spells allow you to determine the subject’s actions when you cast the spell, and others give you ongoing control over the subject.

Evocation
Evocation spells manipulate energy or tap an unseen source of power to produce a desired end. In effect, they create something out of nothing. Many of these spells produce spectacular effects, and evocation spells can deal large amounts of damage.

Illusion
Illusion spells deceive the senses or minds of others. They cause people to see things that are not there, not see things that are there, hear phantom noises, or remember things that never happened.

Figment
A figment spell creates a false sensation. Those who perceive the figment perceive the same thing, not their own slightly different versions of the figment. (It is not a personalized mental impression.) Figments cannot make something seem to be something else. A figment that includes audible effects cannot duplicate intelligible speech unless the spell description specifically says it can. If intelligible speech is possible, it must be in a language you can speak. If you try to duplicate a language you cannot speak, the image produces gibberish. Likewise, you cannot make a visual copy of something unless you know what it looks like.
Because figments and glamers (see below) are unreal, they cannot produce real effects the way that other types of illusions can. They cannot cause damage to objects or creatures, support weight, provide nutrition, or provide protection from the elements. Consequently, these spells are useful for confounding or delaying foes, but useless for attacking them directly.

Glamer
A glamer spell changes a subject’s sensory qualities, making it look, feel, taste, smell, or sound like something else, or even seem to disappear.

Pattern
Like a figment, a pattern spell creates an image that others can see, but a pattern also affects the minds of those who see it or are caught in it. All patterns are mind-affecting spells.

Phantasm
A phantasm spell creates a mental image that usually only the caster and the subject (or subjects) of the spell can perceive. This impression is totally in the minds of the subjects. It is a personalized mental impression. (It’s all in their heads and not a fake picture or something that they actually see.) Third parties viewing or studying the scene don’t notice the phantasm. All phantasms are mind-affecting spells.

Shadow
A shadow spell creates something that is partially real from extradimensional energy. Such illusions can have real effects. Damage dealt by a shadow illusion is real.
Saving Throws and Illusions (Disbelief): Creatures encountering an illusion usually do not receive saving throws to recognize it as illusory until they study it carefully or interact with it in some fashion. A successful saving throw against an illusion reveals it to be false, but a figment or phantasm remains as a translucent outline. A failed saving throw indicates that a character fails to notice something is amiss. A character faced with proof that an illusion isn’t real needs no saving throw. If any viewer successfully disbelieves an illusion and communicates this fact to others.

Necromancy
Necromancy spells manipulate the power of death, unlife, and the life force. Spells involving undead creatures make up a large part of this school.( this is a forbiden magic )

Transmutation
Transmutation spells change the properties of some creature, thing, or condition.
Enchanting: Enchanting is the ability to give item's and weapon's magical abilities. This is one of the more complex types of magic. Since this can be very dangerous for those that use the item's. Since the items can become out of control.

Runes
A rune is an arcane symbol inscribed on a creature, surface, or object. Runes exist in groups called
families, which are composed of ten runes. No runes ever require a verbal component. Inscribing a rune requires physical contact with the target Runes are a type of magic that can be used with in enchating and other thing's.There are three kinds of runes: marks, glyphs and sigils. A mark is inscribed upon a creature, and each mark targets a single creature. A glyph is cast upon an object, and each glyph targets a single object. A sigil is placed upon an object or creature in order to create an effect in an area, with that object or creature at the center. Each sigil has an area that it affects.Marks are runes inscribed on a creature. The subject must be still, so marks cannot be inscribed on unwilling creatures, however a mark can be inscribed on any helpless creature. Marks generate their effects immediately upon completion. Some inscribes have the ability to delay mark activation or even to make a mark permanent

Abilities
Abilities are magical effects that are permanently (or nearly permanently) active on Wizard's or sorcerer's or even other people. Abilities can differ from person to person. One might have the ability to read Mind's or empathy to feel emotion's and feeling's. But not all people have Abilities. Some Abilities you can only be born with. While as some can be learned from a person who has that ability. And some you must go threw a ritural to get them.

Item's

Familiar
A familiar (or familiar spirit or familiar animal) is an animal-shaped spirit or minor demon believed to serve a witch or magician as domestic servant, spy and companion, in addition to helping to bewitch enemies or to divine information. The animal was often believed to be possessed of magic powers, such as the ability to change its shapeAnd as the Master grow's so does the Familiar. Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated.


Book of shadow's
The Book of Shadows is a collection of magical and religious texts of of you familly. Mosy high powered magic familly's have a book of shadows. That has all type's of spell's and information that there familly has discovered over time. These are very important to those who are new into magic. Since it tell's them way's to learn and master the ability's. And are not like reguler spell book's. Now some family's have more then one copy of there book of shadow's that is connected to the main one. And so all the infomation is sent to the main book.

Athame
The athame frequently has a steel double-edged blade with a sharp point (although the point may be dulled so as to prevent unintended physical harm during ritual use), and a handle which is often black and which may be inscribed with particular symbols dictated by the tradition, ranging from astrological glyphs to runes to magical symbols indicative of deities, spirits or the element

Wand
A wand is a thin, straight, hand-held stick of wood, ivory or metal, generally with ceremonial and/or magical associations, although historically they have also had other uses, all stemming from the original meaning as a synonym of rod and virge (a stick used as a weapon or for corporal punishment).It is traditionally made from the wood of a sacred tree, such as willow, elder, oak, apple, peach, hazel or cherry, and its length should approximate the crook of the elbow to the middle of the index finger. The wand may be carved or decorated in order to personalize it. These days, metal, crystal or many modern materials may be used instead of wood, and a wand may also be tipped with crystals and gems. A grimoire called “The Great Book of Saint Cyprian” gives step-by-step instructions on how to make a magic wand, although it is now possible to purchase ready-made wands commercially. But the main reason of the Wand is to help focus magic.

Types of Mages

Wizard
Wizard's are master's of magic in the word of mouth. Meaning they have the ability to shape magic by saying thing's. Wizard's mainly use Wand's to control there magic. But very powerful Wizard's can do magic with out wand's and some can even do it nonverbal

Sorcerer's
Unlike Wizard's Sorcerer's can use the magic around them ( magic is in the air like restu is ) as well as the magic in there body. But Sorcerer's control and power over spell's comes from them understanding the spell. But Emotion and felling's are also a big part of Magic for Sorcerer's. Since the more aggresive and up a sorcerer is the more powerful they are.

Warlock
A Warlock's are the children of Demon's most of the time. They tend to look Human most of the time. Though some of them might have a Demonic trait like a tail or ear's of a demon. Though it is possible to become a Warlock by giving ones self over to a Demon or spirit that will then grant you power's.

History
Among the ancient elves, there were mages who trained their magical arts to augment their martial prowess. They channeled magical power through their weapons and bodies, becoming terrors on the battlefield. Most consider these skills lost forever, but they may still linger in forgotten corners of the world.

Spell's

Combat Magic
lv 2
Enchant: Combat mode take me.
While this spell is active, the arcane warrior channels magic inward, trading increased fatigue allowing them to do more physical fighting. Since this spell will increase there endurance and the amount of damage that they will be able to take. This spell will only last 3 post. While this spell is active only lv 1 spell's may be used.

Aura of Might
lv 2
Enchant: I summon the Aura of Might
The arcane warrior’s prowess with Combat Magic grows, granting additional bonuses to attack, defense while in the spell is active. This allow's there physical attack's to become stronger up to one tier above there's. This also increase that of the Attack's that they will be able to block.

Shimmering Shield
lv 3
Enchant: Shield protect me
The arcane warrior is surrounded by a shimmering shield of energy that blocks most attack's and grants large bonuses to armor and all resistances. When active, however, the Shimmering Shield consumes mana rapidly. Making the mage run out of energy and power the longer the shield is up. The shield can only be up for a max of 5 post and after those 5 post only spell's of lv 1 can be active for the next 3 post. The shield can only completely block attack's of lower tier. Equal attack's may be able to get threw the shield where as a Attack of a higher tier will most likely destroy the shield.

story:Every mage can feel the dark lure of blood magic. Originally learned from demons, these dark rites tap into the power of blood, converting life into mana and giving the mage command over the minds of others. Such power comes with a price, though; a blood mage must sacrifice his/her own health, or the health of allies, to fuel these abilities

Spell's

Blood Magic
lv 1
Enchant: I give my life force for the power of the damned
For as long as this spell is active, the caster sacrifices health to power spells instead of expending mana(magical energy) This spell can be very dangerous since if left active to long the mage could die or hurt them self's very bad. This can only be active for 3 post with no harm is more then 3 the user will start to completely drain there life. If left active for more then 5 post the user will die if there Tier is that of 3-1 or lower. If not they will pass out. Note this spell increase the power of one's attack to that of one tier above them so a 3-1's attack would become equal to that of a 2-3.

Blood Sacrifice
lv 2
Enchant: i draw the blood of my allies to help my conquest
The blood mage sucks the life-force from an ally that is willing to let the spell take over them, this spell is truly healing the caster but potentially killing the ally. Since the more hurt the castor is the more of the life force that it will need to drain from the ally.

Blood Wound
lv 3
Enchant: Boil the blood of those that appose me
The blood of all hostile targets in the area boils within their veins, inflicting severe damage. Targets stand twitching. This can truly only work if the target's in the range of the castor's eyes have open wound's. And though this is a very powerful spell it is not able to kill a target but only hurt them. Since this can only cause a intense pain maybe burning the skin but nothing else is done from this spell. But in order to cast this spell the mage must give a good part of his power to do so. After casting this spell the mage will fall out from the amount of his life given to do this spell.

Legend:Rumors speak of barbarians that hold secrets of transforming the body into the form of animals. The Circle of Magi denies such rumors, but this rare art survives in the forgotten corners of Thedas. Mastery of their bodies allows shapeshifters some protection, even in human form, making them durable opponents and staunch allies

Spell's

Spider Shape
lv 1
Enchant: N/A
When this spell is activated the castor become a giant spider. While in this form all other spell's are not able to be used. But they do gain the abilities of spitting sticky web's that they can use to tangle there target's . While in this form they also get a increase in there physical strength. This form can also only last for 3 post with a 3 post cool down before the mage can shift again

Bear Shape
lv 2
Enchant: N/A
The shapeshifter can transform into a bear, gaining large increase i strength. Though they lose there other abilities. They do gain the great physical strength of the bear and his very sharp claw's and teeth. The appearance of this form truly depend's on that of the castor. Since some might have white fur where as some might have black fur.

Story:Not all entities of the Fade are demonic. Many are benevolent entities consisting of life energy, which can be called upon to mend flesh and heal disease. Spirit healers focus on channeling the energies granted by these spirits, making them indispensable members of a party of adventurers

Spell's

Group Heal
lv 1
Enchant: heal those that have helped me
The caster bathes allies in benevolent energy, instantly healing there minor wound's. Though the castor is un effected by this spell. So this still leave's all of his wound's un healed.

Revival
lv 2
Enchant: revive the energy of thy ally
This is a very effect spell for healing a friend that has been injured very badly. This spell take's a very good amount of energy though. And it can work only on one ally at a time. And will need a 3 post cool down before it can be done again.

Lifeward
lv 3
Enchant: i give the power of my life to thy ally
The caster places a protective ward on an ally that let's the ally draw energy from the mage to heal them self. When this ward is active there will be a small line on the wrist of the person who has the ward on them. And this line will stay til the ward is used. Since the word can be used at anytime they ally chooses so or if they become close to dying it will activate it self. This ward work's by connecting the mage's and the ally's life force and mana together. And so long as the connection is still active the mage will have a small line on his wrist just like the ally. The mage can put this ward on as many people he want's to. But putting this on a lot of people can be very dangerous to the mage

Cleansing Aura
lv 3
Enchant: Aura cleans
While this spell is active, waves of healing and cleansing energy emanate from the caster, restoring health to all nearby allies with in a meter of the mage. This spell is a very dangerous spell to the mage since it can leave them very tired and almost out of mana if there are 2 many allies to heal.

Story:Every Dalish clan has a keeper, a wise mentor dedicated to preserving the elves' ancient lore. It is exceptionally uncommon for a keeper to teach anyone other than a fellow clan member about the unique Dalish understanding of nature magic, which focuses on control of the roots beneath the earth

Spell's

One With Nature
lv 1
Enchant: Nature come one with me
The keeper's bond with the earth creates a defensive shield that immobilizes the keeper for as long as this spell is active. This shield is made up of the root's in the ground and that of the tree's around. This shield is easily able to block of those that are a tier weaker then the castor unless they are fire spell's. Then the Keeper will have a hard time to keep the root's from spreading on fire.

Thornblades
lv 2
Enchant: I call the Blade's of Nature
The keeper calls roots from beneath the earth to come ad attack the enemy. These are giant size root's with sharp 3 inch thorn's all over them. The Keeper is able to control the root's as though they where the keeper's arm's and leg's. By moving his body part's as thought they where they thorn's. Keeper's with staff's and wand's may also be able to control them using the wand or staff. Note thses root's can be cut or burned.

Nature's Vengeance
lv 3
Enchant: Nature take i command the to take vengeance on those that oppose me
The keeper summons gigantic roots from within the ground to attack all enemies in the range of 2 meter's. These root are just like the regular root's in all other keeper spell's but in this spell the keeper is able to manage and control more root's tho this spell can only be done once per a topic
