[u][b]Types of Magic[/b][/u]

[b]Divination:[/b] [i]The practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown, usually through practiced rituals.[/i]

[b]Incantations:[/b] [i]Invocation of spells and charms through the use of verbal and physical rituals/intonations. By its very definition, Incantation is a common denominator in all schools of magic.[/i]

[b]Alchemy:[/b] [i]The brewing of potions and elixirs that can bestow positive and negative effects in equal measure, but also the practice of material transmutation.[/i]

[b]Sorcery:[/b] [i]Incantation's older brother; Sorcery is the channeling and wielding of raw magic without the need for verbal/physical formulas. Equally powerful as it is difficult to control, and those who practice sorcery recklessly may be just as likely to destroy themselves as cast magic.[/i]

[b]Spirit Mediation:[/b] [i]A cousin to Divination, Spirit Mediation deals specifically with contacting spirits - whether they be the natural spirits of the world, or the ghosts of those who have passed on - and seeking knowledge through their counsel.[/i]

[b]Necromancy:[/b] [i]The dark side of Conjuring; Necromancy weaves magic specifically through bone and necrotic flesh. Necromancers don't 'raise the dead', they simply animate bones and rotting flesh through magical force of will; if the will wavers (or is removed), the construct falls still.[/i]

[b]Conjuring:[/b] [i]Conjuration is the hardest fundamental to grasp; it is the creation of objects through magic manipulation. Sometimes, this takes the form of tools or weapons formed of raw magical energy, ethereal yet powerful - but usually looks like using magic to bind preexisting material together into the desired form.[/i]

[b]Illusion:[/b] [i]Illusion magic fools the senses without altering the world in a tangible, material way. The difficulty of an illusion scales exponentially with the amount of people it's deceiving; illusions can fool any of the senses (bar touch), but can also effect more generalized 'feelings', such as paranoia, anxiety, and temper, but also joy, desire, and calm (among others).[/i]
