Elemental - Called 'color magic', this is the working of an element.
[2,500] fire - Thermodynamics, lightning
[2,500] water - ice, mist
[2,500] earth - rock/mineral, dirt/mud
[2,500] air - sound, gas


[Restricted] Prophesy - Called 'Tarot', this is the magic of other-sight.
[2,000] Scrying: The art through which glimpses of the past, present, or future may be viewed in a reflective surface has been around in one form or another since the very beginnings of magic. Often referred to as a kind of second sight this magic is most effective when used as a means of seeing across great distances to catch glimpses of far off places.

[2,000] Dreaming: A form of magic formed almost exclusively around predictions of the future the art of dreaming is least easy to control of the Prophesy magics. When the dreams do come, however, they offer not just glimpses, but clear pictures of things that have not yet been but might still come to pass. It is said that the clearest dreams do not just show a single future, but countless that might come from the branching web of decisions set out before us.

[2,000] Reading:Tarot cards, tea leaves, even palms all hold glimpses of secrets buried far from uninitiated eyes. like scrying the art of reading is not limited to the events of the future. Rather this form of magic finds its main stock and trade in the secrets people hide away. It can offer glimpses of the future, but he most gifted readers know that it can be more revealing to see into the heart of man.


Channeling - Called 'spirit magic', this is the magic of souls.
[3,000] Summoning: Channeling can be Broken down into 3 basic parts. The first is the art of summoning, or calling spirits from their world to ours. Summoning is used to allow a spirit to cross over the vale and interact with the world of the living. Often these spirits can do no more than speak, but given a strong enough spirit, or a strong enough summoner they have been known to be able to do more on occasion.

[2,500] Binding: The second is the art of binding. Once a spirit has been summoned it must be controlled, forced to linger until it has served its purpose. By binding a summoned spirit a mage is able to exercise a level of control over the spirit. A binding ritual can be performed on spirits the mage had no part in summoning.

[2,000] Communing: Finally, the art of communion is the art of communicating with spirits present in the living world. Unlike simply talking with a spirit a mage practiced in the art of communion need not worry about lies or half truths. They are able to compel the spirit to answer them, truthfully and completely.


Light - Called 'White Magic', this is the magic of cleansing.
[2,000] Elemental: The elemental control of light refers to the basic art of manipulating and controlling light in the immediate vicinity of the caster.

[3,000] Turn undead: A kind of magic formed in direct response to the disruption of the life-energy cycle nercomantic practices rely on. This kind of magic grants the caster the ability to return the undead to their eternal slumber and proper place within the aether of the dream-weave.

[2,000] Purify: A kind of magic, not unlike the art of enchanting a mage practiced, in Purifying magic is able to both remove curses and enchantments placed on people or things, but also to add enchantments of their own.


[Restricted] Ecclesiastic Magic - Called 'church magic', this is the channeling of the soul-bank.

Spoiler:

[2,500] Initiate Ghoul: This ritual calls upon a soul that has recently died a physical death, but not yet found its way out of the material world. As the most basic of binding arts the mage can only bind a spirit in their non-corporeal form to a man-made talisman and the spirit is unable to move away from this talisman. Since the spirit does not possess a truly physical form it is unable to interact with the physical world directly (with the exception that it is able to move the talisman it is bound to). It cannot harm or be harmed by physical means, though the act of destroying the talisman used to bind it undoes the spell and returns the spirit to the Dreaming.

[3,000] Initiate Spectre: A necromancer seals a contract with a living creature, whose soul becomes connected to the Soul Network. Though the magic itself remains dormant until the creature dies it allows the mage to call them back into the world of the living. Like the lesser arts the soul can be bound in a non-corporeal form to a talisman, but it can also be bound to a once living corpse. It should be said that while effectively undead, a soul bound again to a once living form can still be killed as they might have been when they were still alive and are susceptible to both silver and fire. The destruction of their new body unweaves the spell and returns them to the Dreaming. A spell of this kind is not done simply, and before a contract is formed the necromancer often asks a high prices for their services. Note, any soul bound again to a once living form retains any potential they had while living. (ie they are able to perform magic or things like that)

[4,000] Initiate Wight: The most advanced of this form of magic a mage practiced in this art is able to form contracts even with those souls already gone to the Web of Dreaming. It requires some form of contact with the spirit to begin, but once a contract has been negotiated the mage is able to summon them back into material world and bind them either to a talisman, a once living body, or into a man-made shell fashioned specifically for them. These shells are not without weakness however, and should the form be broken, or if the runes that were used to finish the binding to an item are damaged the spell itself is undone and the spirit returned once more to the Dreaming. Like all undead, these creatures are weak to silver and fire. Since there is no physical time or space in the Dreaming, a strong enough power can be used to conjure souls even long since lost from the living world. Before summoning such a spirit, the necromancer must first commune with it and negotiate the conditions. Because the ritual of wight creation is extremely difficult and time-consuming it is not done idly or without great purpose. Only the greatest spellcasters are able to conjure wights, and even then not without help.

Elemental - Called 'color magic', this is the working of an element.
[2,500] fire - Thermodynamics, lightning
[2,500] water - ice, mist
[2,500] earth - rock/mineral, dirt/mud
[2,500] air - sound, gas


Effigy - Called 'holder magic', this is the magic of objects/ artifacts.
[2,000] Scripting: One of the most common forms of Effigy magic has to be the art of scripting various effects and properties into inanimate objects. The source of magic swords and chests and books this kind of magic has countless different applications. And not all scripts need be immediately obvious. With enough care a skill mage can script effects that are only initiated by specific triggers.

● Enchantment: This kind of scripting refers to the act of imbuing an object with scripts intended to aid those who make use of it. (one or the other per purchase)

● Curse: This kind of scripting refers to the act of imbuing an object with scripts intended to harm those who make use of it. (one or the other per purchase)

[2,500] Animation: Most simply put the Magic of animation is the ability to grant inanimate objects with the ability to move. Both its manner of movement and its destination must be clearly defined by the caster as the object does not gain any level of sentience.


Manipulation - Called 'glamor', this is magic that influences the mind.

[2,500] Illusion: Illusions are a magic of deception, of bending what is with what might be and bringing something of dreams into the physical world. While powerful tools capable of powerful effects on the mind illusions are not truly a physical kind of magic. And while they may feel as real as the rest of the world they are no more than sensations called forth from the nothing. The study of illusion magic can be broken down into five basic categories based on the five basic senses that can be manipulated. (Each purchase includes only one sense).

● Sight: Grants the ability influence what others see
● Sound: Grants the ability to influence what others hear
● Smell: Grants the ability to influence what others smell
● Tactile: Grants the ability to influence what others feel
● Taste: Grants the ability to influence what others taste

[2,000] Telekinesis: Where illusions are a magic of deception and deceit Telekinesis is a very physical manifestation of this kind of magic. At is most basic telekinesis can be used to move objects from great distances.


Necromantic Magic - Called 'unnatural magic', this is the art of undeath.

Necromatic Magic Subsets:

Alchemy - Called 'symbology', this is the merging of science and magic.

[2,500] Transmutation: The most basic manifestation of Alchemy, and the most recognizable is the art of transmutation. Calling on both the laws of the natural world and the laws of equal exchange the art of Transmutation allows an individual the ability to change the basic properties of an object. Either enchanting it with special qualities or refining those that already exist within it. Because of the basic nature of alchemy this art is still limited by the reagents at hand.

[2,500] Transference: The art of shifting matter, of movement. Transference has been called by some a subset of transmutation, and in a sense this is true. But where transmutation focuses on merely manipulating the qualities of a single object transference focuses on moving all or parts of an object. This can be used for things like teleportation between two fixed points or transferring wounds from one person, through the caster, to another.

[2,500] Fusion/Deconstruction: The final form of alchemy branches out from the simple manipulation and mutation of objects and elements. The art of fusion and deconstruction deals in the power to form new matter from its most basic building blocks or return what has already been made back to them. Used most often to splice together several base components into a single conglomeration or render complex objects into their most basic forms this aspect art is considered the most practical and most dangerous of all the subsets of alchemy.

Elemental - Called 'color magic', this is the working of an element.
[2,500] fire - Thermodynamics, lightning
[2,500] water - ice, mist
[2,500] earth - rock/mineral, dirt/mud
[2,500] air - sound, gas


Familiar - Called 'Rangering', this is the magic that bonds life.

[3,000] Summoning: The art of summoning within the realm of Familiar Magics is most simply the power to call forth those creatures both magical and otherwise with which the mage as already formed a contract with. Summoning magic often involves a ritual of some kind, and while this process can be streamlined it can never be made instantaneous. A familiar can be of almost any form, but will fade away if wounded or killed.

[2,500] Binding: While most mages can create mutual contracts with various magical and non-magical creatures there are some who wish to compel otherwise uncooperative creatures to aid them. The art of binding allows a mage to forcefully bind a creature to them, allowing them to call on it in the event of some future need.

[2,500] Sealing: While powerful a familiar remains a creature out of its proper place. It was called forth by magic, and through magic it can be returned to from where it came. The art of sealing is a magic that allows a mage to cancel out or seal even those familiars he has not summoned himself. A powerful tool this ability is not limited to other familiars and while difficult can be used to seal anything from spirits to undead.


Natural - Called 'Green speak', this is the magic of the natural world.

[2,500] Creation: As keepers of their forest homes masters of natural magic have long since studied the ways of the natural life around them. They have found a balance with these living things and through that balance they learned the secrets of creation, of calling forth life from the forest around them. This power can be used to create new plant growth from the most meager of sources.

[2,500] Growth: Harmony has always been an act of balance, of conservation. Growth magic allows a mage to influence the growth of plants around them, giving them control over such things as speed and direction.

[3,000] Destruction: The mirror of creation, and the far side of the balance with the natural world the art of destruction magic is not something most mages use willingly. But there are times when the order of the forest demands it. This power grants a mage the ability take life from the plants around them, often to be used in some other way.
