Starlight Vs Void

For many years the fey has been in a never-ending battle with the void. There is no creature alive that knows when or how it all started, they only know a life with it being a constant threat.

Starlight

The stars along with all the other bodies of the cosmos, allow for things to be connected through the mystical magic of Starlight while the corrupted magic of the Void fills all the emptiness that the Starlight has not touched yet. For years wizards have studied the powers of the stars and found different ways to use them to their advantage, this spawned a collage within the walls of Marsafell called School of Astromancy. This school only accepts those with great wizarding power or potential and allows the students to study the stars as much as they can, they will even give a pass for outsiders if they show great potential. There are also the Astral clerics who look towards Norma for guidance. Then finally the Oath of Stars paladins that server Norma, looking for strength to fight off the Corruption.

Spell School: Starlight

Through scientific research and training with using these magicks, a creature can potentially become educated enough to wield them in whatever way they want. This takes dedication, time, and sometimes even talent. A well-read scholar will not be able to cast Starlight magic if they have not practiced spellcasting. At the same time, a talented spellcaster will not be able to cast Starlight magic either if they have not spent any time trying to understand this unique school of Magic.

The connection of the science behind the stars and the mystical force that they hide is all that the Spell School of Astromancy seeks to explore. The stars are a powerful force in the cosmos. As they travel across the night sky, they exert their influence over the fates of mortals below. Spellcasters who pursue magic from the school of astromancy often seek to harness the power of the stars to influence fate, reach across the astral sea, and manipulate the ebb and flow of time.

Material Component: Starlight

With the exception of cantrips, spells from the astrology school all require starlight as a material component for their spells. This component can typically be supplied freely by the stars of a clear night sky. However, if the spellcaster cannot directly see the stars of the night sky, whether because it is day or they are underground, they must use distilled starlight as a material component in order to cast the spell. This component is denoted by an "L" in the Component line of the spell's description.

The Void

The Void exists wherever Starlight does not. This can be either in places really far away from the realm of places in the realm that Norma do not see. After the return of Za'strasz, the Void covers all that the light of the stars and the moons does not reach. The Void has the capability of corrupting even the most devout creatures. Whoever gets corrupted is under the direct influence of Za'strasz and will therefore hear his voice frequently in their mind. The void also has dedicated warlocks, a lot come from deals made by Za'strasz himself, some come willingly. Most of the warlocks are found in Midwich though they can also be found in the many places that have seen Corruption.
