Magic is an integral part of the world of War of Discord. Almost everyone can use it in one form or another. There are three types of magic (Elemental, Rune, and Bloodline) and ten elements (Fire, Ice, Wind, Earth, Water, Lightning, Light, Dark, Space, and Aether) that each spell falls under. First we’ll explain the three types of Magic. The elements will be explained later. Elemental Magic: Elemental Magic is the most basic form of magic and is sometimes considered true or classical magic. With this form of magic, the caster draws upon their mana to do things from conjuring fireballs to summoning lighting and a wide variety of other things. Most of the basic spells can be used silently or with a single word command but the more complicated and powerful ones usually require a longer incantation. Of the three forms, Elemental Magic has the most freedom but requires the most concentration and knowledge. Theoretically everyone can use basic magic that matches their element. Rune Magic: Rune Magic is very similar to Elemental Magic except, as the name implies, it requires runes to cast. It’s special in that virtually everyone can use Rune Magic but only a small few can actually inscribe runes. Compared to Elemental Magic, Rune Magic is quicker to cast (especially for more powerful spells) but doesn’t allow for customization tends to take the greatest amount of mana without overloading the spell. It is possible to cast multiple spells from a single rune but that requires a great deal of concentration and skill. The most common runes are the Summoning rune, which will summon whatever object that it’s linked to and can dismiss it, and the Impervious rune which prevents blades from wearing or braking under most circumstances. Bloodline Magic: Bloodline Magic is special for numerous reasons. First and foremost is that only Humans can use it and second is that it usually allows feats of great magic for only a pittance of mana. As the name suggests, Bloodline Magic is only found in certain bloodlines and almost always passes from parent to child. It is unknown what brings about Bloodline Magic but the power of the magic usually improves with each generation and its possible for two bloodlines to combine. |
