| - | This style of magic was taught to several tribes of [[creatures:human|humans]] by the [[creatures:elf|elves]] as per an agreement with the [[lore:magi]]. This magic draws upon the power of the [[lore:Shadow Realms]] that surround all things of the [[lore:Mortal Plane]]. Given the chaotic nature of this power it takes an extremely ordered mind to use this magic safely - so the elves taught the humans to use gestures, incantations, and physical objects to focus their mind. | + | This style of magic was taught to several tribes of [[creatures:human|humans]] by the [[creatures:elf|elves]] as per an agreement with the [[creatures:magi]].

| The nature of the Shadow Realms is such that the [[wp>base metals]] (unlike the [[wp>Noble Metals]]) of this world cause strong enough ripples and eddies that working magic can be difficult. In addition, because of the necessity of a magician having an ordered mind things that can distract or change their steps can complicate the process or summoning or harnessing the magic. | The nature of the Shadow Realms is such that the [[wp>base metals]] (unlike the [[wp>Noble Metals]]) of this world cause strong enough ripples and eddies that working magic can be difficult.

| Sorcery is derived from two opposing forces in the world, the [[lore:Chaos Lords]] and the [[lore:Light of Order]]. Each of these beings select a single champion on each [[lore:plane]] through which they continue their eternal struggle (Chaos Sorcerer and Font of Light respectively). These empowered mortals then follow their destiny to the final conflict. Should either of them be defeated another champion will be selected in time. | Sorcery is derived from two opposing forces in the world, the [[lore:Chaos Lords]] and the [[lore:Light of Order]].

| Magicians that draw upon beings outside of the Mortal Plane have been called priests, diabolists, shaman, and many other names. In all of these cases the magician gains their power by making a pact with a powerful outsider allowing them to use a small measure of their power. The power gained can be tremendous, but so is the costs. The power must always be true to their nature - it cannot be what it isn't - and this nature over time will change the spirit of the magician so that they are in harmony. More important the magician has given up a small measure of their own free will as the pact gives the outsider a small measure of control. | Magicians that draw upon beings outside of the Mortal Plane have been called priests, diabolists, shaman, and many other names.
