Magic

Magic is immensely rare in Atleria after the Great Scourge, as it was most deadly against those who could wield it, as such, it is again in it's 'infancy' so to speak, with much of it's knowledge lost, and much experimentation happening in place.
Magic can be cast without hand gestures or speaking, but the use of them allows for much stronger, and more potent spells, and almost like drugs, nothing stops a basic magic user from using the most complex and ancient spells, but the results are almost usually horrific if they are not a veteran magic user.
Furthermore, Runes can also be used to make magics more potent, and are often used as another form of enchantment, by carving runes into armour, weaponry, and tools, runes can be very simple, or immensely complex.
The Types of Magic are as follows.
Earth
Earth magic, as it's name suggests, is the ability to create, manipulate, and use earth, stone, and raw ores in different ways. it is often used in tandem with Smithing magic.
Wind
Wind magic, as it's name suggests, is the ability to create, manipulate, and use air and wind in many different ways, often considered to be the safest of magics, it's most skilled users can however cause things such as tornadoes.
Fire
Fire magic, is as it's name suggests, the ability to create, manipulate, and use fire in many ways, though it does have a limit on it's temperature, as it is a much safer form of Infernal magic.
Lightning
Lightning magic, as it's name suggests, is the ability to create, manipulate, and use electricity and lightning in many ways, this is the favoured magic of dragon-hunters, as lightning is the only magic capable of peeling away their scales.
Death
Death magic, as it's name suggests, is the ability to manipulate and use death, it allows the user to create corruption and decay, as well as raise the dead to do their bidding, it also allows the creation and manipulation of bones to the user's will.
Blood
Blood magic, as it's name suggests, is the ability to create and manipulate blood, it allows the user to do things such as use their blood as weaponry, tools, or armour.
Smithing
Smithing magic, as it's name suggests, is the ability to create some of the finest weapons, armours, and tools, with the assistance of magic. It also allows the user to wield special hammers known as 'The Fists of Eregion', which greatly enhance the user's smithing magic, and often double up as excellent weapons. Smithing magic is very rare, and as such is greatly valued amongst many.
