Pact Magic

Pact Magic is a mysterious and little understood form of spellcasting that appears to derive from a personal bond between the caster and an extraplanar entity. Unlike other forms of magic, Pact Magic practitioners keep the source of their power secret, and very little documentation exists about the practice. This magic seems to draw power from beings beyond the waking realm, but their motivations for intervening in mortal lives are unknown. Because of its secrecy, Pact Magic has historically been persecuted, with practitioners exiled, punished, or even executed. Some legends suggest that these pariahs have formed their own communities where the practice is accepted or even glorified, but their existence is widely considered to be conjecture. The relationship between Pact Magic and The Ley is unknown, and research is limited within the institutions of the Fey Dominion. However, there is evidence to suggest that Pact Magic is not tethered to the manifold and can be practiced anywhere, including underground and in mana dead zones.
