Magic

Intro

In rare cases, casters have been known to tap into the leylines though sheer force of will.

Types of Magic
Magic can be drawn from many different sources, depite all the forms drawing from the same place. (develop)

Arcane
Used by wizards and bards, arcane magic is drawn directly from the leylines of magic across Benuha. Although the way to draw from the leylines can be taught, it is incredibly difficult.

Divine
Magic given by gods is known as divine magic, commonly used by clerics. When harnessing divine magic, the user acts as a conduit for their god's power,

Pact
Pact magic is similar to divine magic, but rather than being gifted to the caster, is it gained through a contract with a powerful being. Some pacts are mutually benifical, but many are one-sided towards the patron.

Primal
The magic used by druids and rangers is known as primal magic, it comes from the powers of nature and the feywild.

Necromancy
Spells which manipulate death, undeath and life energy are known as necromancy spells. While they are not evil by definition, necromancy is an unpopular school of magic. Certain nations outlaw necromancy at different levels, some allow spells such as raise dead, but ban animate dead and similar spells which create undead or decay life. Many nations outlaw necromancy completely, and whilst a scattering few will tolerate it, barley any embrace it.
