The Magic of Mycle
There are two major types of human magic on Mycle: magery and sorcery.
Most magic workers can only work one spell at a time. The spells can be tied
to a place, but that place has to be connected to the ground from where the
magic flows. Tying magic down like this is very expensive and rarely done.
Some minor magic can be tied to an object of jewelry or something similar
to take its magic from the life force of the wearer. But this method only
allows minor spells and tire out the wearer.
Magery
Magery works on objects. Building and destroying.
-
War magery: Destroying fortification and destruction spells. Also some minor
building.
-
Building magery: Able to hold up walls while other workers do the work that
will allow it to hold up on its own. They usually don't tie down the magic
like they can because it is expensive and the ties can be broken easily.
-
Techno Magery: People who practice this type of magic usually make things
that move like machines. Most of these machines are sold and thus they are
tied down. They make things like water pumps, and elevators. They can also
make other mechanical things that can be tied down. Things that move on their
own like cars and planes can't be made unless the techno mage is constantly
riding on the object and constantly making it work.
-
Alchemy: working magic on chemicals, turning lead to gold, finding a universal
solvent and stuff like that.
Sorcery
-
Sorcery works on life. Healing and hurting.
-
Healers: Healing life
-
Sex Sorcery: Using the energy from sexual activity for various spells
-
War sorcery. Spreading sickness and other things.
-
Necromancers. Talk to ghosts
Wizardry
Wizardry combines both sorcery and magery. They can make objects that pull
their magic from the life force of the user/wearer to create the spell. This
is usually only for minor spells. Spells that make things lighter, or to
form shields formed of air. There isn't much more then that. If the user
is touching something bare skin to bare skin that is sentient then the magical
object can be powered from both.
These objects are generally expensive to make and buy and are usually only
useful for dragon riders.
