Elemental Magic, Damage, & Ranqor

Magic is interchangeable with Elemental Energy. Magic is what the settlers called it, but on Dracora its more seen as a sort of science/physics/ alchemy/force of nature itself.

Elemental Magic Types and Associated Colors

Element	Color
Aether	Yellow
Aqua	Blue
Celestis	Purple
Ignis	Red
Terra	Green

All magic users specialize in one of the 5 main elements; they can use all kinds of spells of course, but of that element they have a better understanding, and will be more affected by certain locations which emphasize certain elements. (Mechanics: if you specialize in an element, using a spell of that type will give you advantage on some of the rolls required, or its effect will be different. Some creatures have elemental weaknesses, giving you advantage on them, and some are completely immune. Make sure to try different spells to see which affect the enemy the most)

Ranquor Mechanics

• If Hit by an attack with Raw Ranqor, you can't make elemental attacks in your next turn.
• If hit by a specific Ranqor elemental type, you can use that element, but take 2d6 damage yourself of that type. Ex. You want to use a fire spell, but you just got hit by Ranqor Flames. You can use the spell but take 2d6 fire damage after use. This effect lasts until your next turn.
• For all Ranqor attacks that make direct contact with you, you will need to roll a CON Save (usually around 16/15). If failed, you will become infected (similar to Cursed condition). But, if the contacted area is clothed, you gain 1 Infection point instead. If wearing normal clothes, you will need to roll the CON save after you have 1 infection point (in the turn after you got the 1). If you are wearing light armor, you need 2 infection points and if you’re wearing heavy armor you need 3 infection points.
• Points are removed after a long rest which includes taking a full-body bath of around an hour and all belongings are cleaned.
• For druids, wild shape removes an extra Infection point. So say, you wildshape, you get bitten and gain one point, when you wildshape out, its gone. If you wildshape out during combat and get bitten again, you gain 1 point. If want want to wildshape again in that same combat, you still have that point, only when you shape out again is it removed. And only 1 is removed , so if you rack up 2 and shape out, you still have 1.
• Points stack outside of combat

The full effects of Ranqor infection on humanoids is not yet fully understood, and a cure had not yet been found.
