Magic
"When lightning roars a queer folly, and the dead walk with the living, you know that this is the act of Magi." - Rulthag, Orc Poet
Magic
Biology is the study of life, Astronomy is the study of space, Metalurgy is the study of the forge, and Arcanology is the study of Magic. Magic at it's core is the combination of arcane elements with the primordial lexicon. The Lexicon of course is the collection of all enchantations of spellcraft.Magic is the ability for a simple man to summon a mighty inferno, or conjure a fae spirit in the time of need. It can bend and shape metal without the need of a hammer and anvil. Space is simply a point on a map that can be changed with a few well placed words. Just as the smith cracks down his hammer onto steel, so does the wizard speak and turn dust into life, or death.
Spellcasting
Spellcasting is the ability to channel magic of the world and give it direction. Magic is simply a combination of vocal principles combined with the spellcasters own fortitude to cast a spell. The name of a spell must be presented in order for it to be cast. This can be done any of the following ways.- Speech - Through the literal vocal speech of the spell, you can cast it. It's the most common and practical way of casting the spell. But anything such as a heavy wind or lisp can bring a whole new meaning to what you were trying to cast. The spell may simply fizzle or completely backfire.
- Sigil - You may write a spell down. Either on a parchment of some sort or carved into a material like stone or bark. The advantage of Sigil casting is the ability to prepare the spell before casting it, but to Sigil a spell, you also need certain arcane inks and powders which can be expensive and the items will often deteriorate after use. (casting a spell this way requires Arcane Powder and takes x3 times longer than speech.)
- Sign - To sign a spell is to speak it with your hands and make symbols that way. This can be used in areas that are very loud or in an Aura of Silence. One disadvantage to this technique is the requirement of free hands. Simply trying a creatures hands can prevent them from using this spellcasting at all. But even then, some simple spells may only require the flick of a finger.
A spell must also have it's channel, an arcane focus. Arcane focuses are made from magic gems such as opals, diamonds, rubies, etc. Depending on the type of stone, they may have different effects.
The Lexicon
The Lexicon is a collection of all the known chants and words within the language of Magic. This is broken up into the most basic to complex of words. The Lexicon can be broken up into four primary adjectives. In the common tongue they are, Death, Life, Elemental, and Arcane. Near every spell you find will have one of these prefixes attached to them.Magic Statistics
Magic is a complex art with many different numbers to account for.Mana
Mana is a resource used to cast spells. The formula for mana total is (Intelligence + (End/2) + your level) round down.Whenever you cast a spell, you expend mana. You can only regain mana from resting. You can either regain mana from a short or long rest.
Short Rest. You regain mana equal to 1d3 for every two points of intelligence you have.
Long Rest. You regain mana equal to 1d3+1 for every two points of intelligence you have.
Spell Hit
Whenever you would make a spell attack roll, you add your Intelligence Score and spell PRF to the hit roll. You may also add a bonus or penalty from the spell you're casting.Spell Saving Throw
Certain spells have saving throws. When that is so the targets roll against the saving throw and have to beat it. The Formula for spell saving throws is 6 + Intelligence + and spell PRF.Magic Prowess
Magic Prowess works similar to normal prowess but slightly different. The formula for Magic Prowess is (Perception + Endurance)/2 round down. Whenever you cast a spell that has an attack roll. You may add Prowess Dice to the hit bonus. At the start of your turn you reroll Magic Prowess like you would normal Prowess.Concentration
Certain spells require concentration. Spell concentration is required when the spell is channeled, while channeling a spell, no other actions can be taken and movement speed is reduced by half. You can end channeling a spell at any point, however some spells may have other actions that happen when you end a spell. Whenever you would take damage, or may any saving throw, while channel a spell you must make an endurance saving throw. If you take damage, the DC is equal to 10 + the damage taken. If you're forced to make a saving throw for any reason, the DC is equal to 15, (+5 if you failed your saving throw or -5 if you passed.)Wands
Wands are items enchanted with specfic spells that can be charged with mana from the user. Specifically whenever you charge a wand, You spend any number of mana and for every two points of mana you spend, the wand gains 1d3+1 mana. It takes 1 minute to charge a wand.Spells you cast from wands have no levels of PRF nor do they gain any from you.
