Magic

Magic is the raw force of the cosmos, the raging, mysterious energy that binds reality together. Those with the faith to trust in this energy can manipulate it, and control it.

Just like for Chi and Psi, for each point of Soul stat you have, you have spell points equal to that. A low-level spell, like a streak of flame, would take up one spell point whereas a spell to call down a bolt of lighting might occupy two or three. So, a spell-caster with a soul of fifteen would be able to know fifteen level-one spells, five level three spells, or three level threes and six level ones. Very simple. The more powerful a spell, the higher spell point cost it will have.

In addition, you have a reserve spell book of twice that number of points. You can move spells from your current repetoir to the spell book and back, allowing you to customize your own abilities.

When you choose to become a spellcaster, you will need to choose one primary element and one standard element (from the five spell elements, life, water, death, fire, and nature.). Spells under your primary element are the ones that come naturally to you, and as such, are lowered by one level. The spells under your standard element are spells that are fairly easy to use, and their cost doesn't change. The other three elements are of foreign make to you, and as a result cost one more level to use.

In addition, some spells may have a vocal component that needs to be spoken with it, and some have a physical component that needs to be done as well. If one of these components cannot be completed, the spell fizzles.

As you walk through the great doors, you are greeted by rows and rows of bookshelves, each containing hundreds of books of magical spells. Here you can find some of the basic spells for your own use. Handily, the Library is split up into sections by spell element.
