| Common MagicMagic, in essence, is the channeling and manipulation of forces from other dimensions or planes of energy. The most common force is often called Mana, but it has many different names as well. Chi, The Force, and more. The beings in the universe all have varying levels of control over mana, if any at all. Also, magic treats each person somewhat differently. One magic user might be able to summon necromatic armies with their bare hands, while others might have trouble even conjuring a candle light. Regardless, the concept remains the same: extra-planar energy is manipulated to achieve that which would be very difficult to do through normal means. In fact, some individuals might only be able to use a single type of magic. Types of MagicThere are countless dimensions which hold different magical energies, however the most well known are as follows:
- The Arcane Realm holds Arcane energy, also known as Mana, which can manifest in sharp purple or blue light. It is used by wizards common for it's variety, as it can be used to conjure, destroy, project, or defend. Illusionists tend to use Arcane magic to project tricks aswell.
- The Natural Realm holds the natural energy commonly used by Druids and Shamans. This manifests in green or yellow light with a much softer aura and glow. It's users specialize in healing or communing with nature. The Fey are well known to have a strong connection to this realm, calling it 'the Feywild'.
- The Dark Realm holds multiple kinds of dark energy, from shadow energy to death magic. This is where Necromancers or Witch's can draw power from, but it can leave them susceptible to the corruption that dwells within it.
- The Elemental Planes are numerous conjoined realms that each represent a natural element, the four most prominent of which are Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Elementalists draw from these planes most commonly, but other wizards and even Shamans commune with the elements to add to their arsenal of spells.
- The Angelic Plane was originally home to Angels until they created Heaven. Now it is mainly a harbour for their holy magic. Alongside being used by Angels, other species' Paladins and Clerics draw upon the light from this realm to heal their allies or smite their foes.
- The Hellish Planes are a series of realms each ruled by Archdemons and Demon Lords. Demonic and Hellfire energies comes from these realms, channeled by Destruction Mages or other Demons to wreak havoc anywhere they go.
Minor RealmsOther realms include the Blood Realm, the Celestial Plane, the Chaos Realm,and almost any other energy you can think of. |
