#magic:lesson

It has been some time hasn't it? Well, I come to you to a small lesson. Today we will be learning about innate magic. You may find that your magic differs from others, even if you are in the same classes and magic group. Well, here could be an explanation as to why...

If you are born...

On a Monday:

Mondays are the tough beginnings. You are born stronger and more resilient than others. You may find that your body is more durable to your magic, and you can recover faster than others from fatigue and can be back in the battle within hours.

On a Tuesday:

Tuesdays are an insightful day to peer into the rest of the week. You are born more perceptive than others. You may find that your mind is naturally perceptive to magic. You can vaguely sense magic types from other users, but it gets a bit confusing with multiple mages in an area.

On a Wednesday:

Wednesdays are the the quietest day of the week. They are in the background and often forgotten. You are born more cloaked than others. You can blend in the background and hide your aura from others naturally. You may find yourself being more observant, seeing things that others may not whilst under the cover of secrecy.

On a Thursday:

Thursdays are the days of promise and hopefulness. They are sanguine and opportunistic. Your magic is a bit more wild than others, but it can lead to promising situations with unexpected power. Your body is more adaptive to controlling your wild magic.

On a Friday:

Fridays are the days of relief. They feel revitalizing. Your magic is naturally explosive and powerful in short bursts. Your body is more capable of storing up magic energy to release all at once in a powerful blast. It may take time to charge up, but if timed correctly it can be very useful.

On a Saturday:

Saturday are the days of tranquility. Your magic is naturally fluid and talented. You have a better grasp over your magic and can find ease with understanding other magic types. When using a magic item, your magic is more concentrated and skillful than others. You also may find that outside magic is naturally drawn to you like a beacon, good or bad.

On a Sunday:

Sundays are the days of persistence and preparedness. Your magic sometimes has a mind of its own, making it harder for others to surprise you. Your magic may do things subconsciously, doing tasks for you before you think to do them. It is useful, but unpredictable.

Are you ready for another mini lesson? Today in class we will learn about something that doesn't exactly pertain to magic, but something that may help you understand yourselves better. It can also somewhat explain your wild magic to an extent. We shall learn about the origin and making of Souls. Not many know how souls are born, but I do!

Souls are made most often through powerful events, be it calm or calamity. I have cast a powerful spell on you all so you may determine where your soul had come from and-

Well...I believe these aren't permanent. The last batch of mishaps have mostly passed. Moving on,

There are many ways to tell how your soul was made, and sometimes even exactly where it was made! I am going to use a personal favorite of mine, though. I have cast a spell over every student here! Sometime in the future a bug will be attracted to you. If you see a certain bug nearby, go to the guide below, for they know your origin.

-----

Apterygota - Your soul was made from something powerful in the Between. The Between is the realm of Monsters. Magic from these realms are wild and unpredictable. Your wild magic may reflect that.

Palaeoptera - Your soul was made from a catastrophic weather event. Magic from storms are overwhelming and strong.

Polyneoptera - Your soul was slowly made over time in the deep wilderness. Magic from nature is scary and beautiful.

Paraneoptera - Your soul was made from someone else's death. Magic from impactful deaths are elusive and perplexing.

Endopterygota - Your soul was made from deep space. Magic from the outer planes are unbounded.

Hello students! I have seen many of your questions on what you can and cannot do with magic. So here is a quick and easy guide to the basics of magic for each type! We will start with Scab, Rust, Soil, Crystal, and then Parchment. At the end I will also answer some common questions I have seen in my asks box. So, if I do not answer your ask just know that it isn't because I haven't seen/read it!

The basics of magic are quiet simple. There are three tiers to power, but today I will only go over the first. The first tier is called...well, tier one. Quite simple and to the point, haha. When you become a tier one wizard, your soul becomes a little more connected to the weave of magic. In doing so, magic comes to you a bit easier than non-casters or semi-casters. You all currently are semi-casters. Wizards who have just begun their adventure! You all currently can feel a connection to magic, and maybe some of you can cast a spell, but as it stands you aren't at tier one quite yet. Don't worry, though! I am an excellent teacher :)

Now, let's begin our lesson!

This is a tier one Scab Wizard! Scabs are those who can make injuries better or worse. At tier one, a Scab Wizard can heal small cuts, bruises, and the common cold. On the other hand, they can prolong small injuries or illnesses on another person. If they overexert themselves, though, they will have spells of dizziness and might develop a temporary case of vertigo. Their connection to the weave allows them to take urgency over others bodies, however that connection can be disrupted if used on an unwilling character. If a Scab Wizard tries to harm or heal another person without their permission, it will drain them of their power more quickly than with a willing person.

This is a tier one Rust Wizard! Rusts are those who can control the elements depending on their zodiac sign (The element tied to that sign). At tier one, a Rust wizard can do things like light a small fire, push a gust of wind, move water equivalent to a cup, or levitate stones. Tier one Rust wizards can get quite crafty with their powers! Even at tier one, they are very useful to townsfolk. If they overexert themselves, though, they will become very tired and will have to rest for a while before using their powers again. Their connection to the weave allows them to connect themselves to the earth. In most cases, a Rust Wizard is a soul that came from an animal in their past lives. They are wise and connected to nature.

This is a tier one Soil Wizard! Soils are those who can commune with the departed, be it animal, human, or monster. At tier one, a Soil Wizard only has one line of communication with the dead. They can either hear, see, or speak to them. For example, one Soil Wizard may only be able to see the dead but not hear them whereas another can communicate verbally with the dead but cannot see them. It varies from wizard to wizard. If they overexert their connection they may develop temporary migraines. Their connection to the weave allows them connect themselves to the afterlife. They are the living that can see into the further. This power can be dangerous to themselves, though. If they were to commune with a dangerous spirit they could risk possession or death.

This is a tier one Crystal wizard! Crystal Wizards are those who can make illusionary spells and occasionally a good Crystal Wizard can cast charm spells. At tier one, a Crystal Wizard can create small visual hallucinations like a butterfly or a mouse. They can create small auditory hallucinations as well, like the sound of a knock. A lot of talented rogues end up having Crystal magic due to their distraction skills. If they overexert themselves they risk overstimulation and small hallucinations akin to their skills. Their connection to the weave allows them to project their thoughts outwards for others to experience. They can become a scary foe if they manage to fool someone else.

This is a tier one Parchment Wizard! Parchment Wizards are those who can manipulate the weave. At tier one, a Parchment Wizard can make magic items that anyone can use, which includes themselves. A Parchment Wizard at tier one can make magic items of low-to-medium durability/quality. They can wield more than one magic item at a time unlike other wizards. However, a Parchment Wizard of any tier will only be able to cast tier one magic. More options open up to them in later levels, though. In later levels they can make spell scrolls, Wizard Tomes, and other interesting things. For now at this tier, though, they can make magic items and attune to TWO magic items of any class. If they overexert themselves with any spells in the other types of magic, they will risk the ailments of those classes (Like a rusts tiredness or a scabs dizziness). If a Parchment Wizard at tier one attempts to attune to a third magic item, they will die.

...Parchment Wizards are very handy party members who have a multitude of talents and uses! :)

Now for some common questions I have seen:

Q: Can wizards multiclass into other types of magic?

A: Yes, however there is only an option to multiclass once you've reached your full potential. At that point you can either multiclass for an additional tier one or become a full mage in your original class.

Q: Do other classes get elemental powers via their zodiacs?

A: No, that is a Rust-only aspect.

Q: Has there ever been a wizard who has been every class at once?

A: There is a fabled Wizard with such power. The first and only Monster Wizard. Perhaps another time I shall tell you that fable if you are interested in hearing it!

I hope this clears things up! Thank you for your attention and time. Like always, my asks and messages are always open to questions or your awesome art. You can even tell me problems that you are having in your wizard lives. Oh, and before I go! I have a few talented friends who can teach you more about specific magic types. While I put together my potion lesson, they will take over the next lesson on magic. Vote below on which wizard you would like to learn from! Thank you. As always, it has been a pleasure.
