"Natural (or Cosmic or Universal or Primal) Magic is the primordial power of the world of Orea itself. To illustrate the distinction, this excerpt from the section on Natural Magic. These energies are capable of being harnessed through spells and rituals." It is self-perpetuating and replenishing, the energy is "built in" to the world of Orea itself. The energy of Arcane magic flows through the whole of the realm, like air. " Arcane Magic, also call Arcanum, is the magic of study. The sources of magic on Orea are classified by the sages of Flin into: Arcane -the magic of wizards gained through study, practice and research, Divine -the magic of priests and paladins gained through meditation, prayer and the divine favor of their respective deity, and Natural (also called "Primal") -the magic of the druids and other classes and creatures (like shamans, the Sorarynae, and the natural abilities of the zepharim) gained through ancient teaching/practices, innate ability and/or communion with the ambient energies of the cosmos." "Magic on the world of Orea is a form of all pervading energy that is able to be harnessed and controlled to various effect in any number of ways. I'll be updating the thread, with more specifics on the magic of that world later today if anyone wants to check it.īut specifically for "Arcane" magic here's what I have: Here's some snippets from how I define it on my world of Orea. In several instances, the very integrity of reality itself has been jeopardized. Excessive use of magic has caused irreparable damage to the planes. In this way, the ravaged physical laws around them are forced into subservience. Arcane casters punch a hole in reality, and through that hole are able to manifest their will. In those (non)places, the thoughts, will and convictions of a being manifest power. Far realms beyond the ken of understanding (non)exist outside the laws of time and causality. It is held in balance by elemental forces, ancient laws, and the ignorance of the common man. See, the foundation upon which reality rests isn't as solid as most people would hope. I ascribe to the view that arcane magic users are actually tearing away sections of reality every time they cast. It never made much sense to me, but I guess the reasoning was that magic and science become indistinguishable after a certain point. Some people go with the "arcane magic as science" view.
