Primary Magics

This cosmology chart is the most widely accepted by magical scholars in Mundus Mutans. A few major correlations exist between the aspects of magic pictured here and the primary schools of magic as described below, though the field remains an active study.

 

Primal Magic

Primal Magic is specifically drawn from, or enhanced by, forces of or locations inherently connected to primordial nature, especially with regards to Zek. Primal magic is also inherently connected to aspects of mortality and time. It is relatively uncommon and generally more powerful than other magics.

All practices of Primal Magic have a few common characteristics:

  • Uses the natural world directly, drawing on its essence  

  • The least risky in terms of collateral damage, but relatively unreliable

Practitioners of Primal Magic may specialize in a few paths:

  • Elemental Magic

  • Time Magic

  • Druidic Magic

  • Solar/Lunar Magic

  • Innate Magics

Nexus Magic

Nexus Magic is specifically drawn from, or enhanced by, the Leyweb (also known as the Nexus) and/or enhanced by Methaeus. Nexus magic is inherently connected to the aspect of the Nexus, because it draws directly from it. It is the basis for most magical practices and common throughout Mundus Mutans.

All practices of Nexus Magic have a few common characteristics:

  • Specifically using or slightly bending natural laws as a means to an end

  • Somewhat risky but more reliable in terms of rules

Practitioners of Nexus Magic may specialize in a few paths:

  • Death Magic

  • Arcane Magic

  • Pyromancy

Dread Magic

Dread Magic is specifically drawn from, or enhanced by, Dalthnestar or Azerack, and is commonly associated with the Fallen Court. It’s characterized by a strict malevolence and contempt for life and the concept of “good.” Dread Magic is inherently connected to the aspect of Darkness due to its foul nature.

Dread Magic is widely regarded as forbidden and discouraged because of its malevolence.

Practitioners of Dread Magic may specialize in a few paths:

  • Eldritch Incantations

  • Corruption Magic

  • Life Draining Magic.

  • Necromancy

  • Sanguimancy

  • Void Magic

All practices of Dread Magic have a few common characteristics:

  • Specifically breaking and “reversing” natural laws (ie laws of physics).

  • Causing a lot of risky collateral damage because it breaks all rules
