Magic Paths

Legend

“Pleased by the colourful and splendid result, the boy cheerfully interrupted his Hand Weaving. As he stopped, he felt the Mana Flow build and roar in his veins and looked in building agony at his master. With dread in alll four eyes the lad exploded amidst a halfmuffled scream.”

History

Through time, those who figured out how to use Magic learned that life as a Mana Manipulator could be dangerous—energies tearing one apart or consuming things. Thus, they began sharing knowledge about what was safe and what was not, and they created schools teaching safe mana manipulation.

Thus came the Magic Paths: areas of manipulation defined in narrow and tight lists, allowing a person to slowly build up skills and potency. Thus, without the dangers to oneself and our World, we are able to handle increasingly potent manipulation.

Generally, each magic path can be formed using any Magic Realm, and the end result is sort of alike. The only difference is the actual size, range, duration, ingredients, hand weaving, mana cost, etc. So, no realm is as such stronger or more lethal than others.

Organisation

Each magic path is divided into eight levels of increasing cost, complexity, and potency. Even though mana manipulators can reach a higher level, it is highly unrecommended, as manipulation failure becomes an increased result the more one stretches the taught patterns.

Some paths… not for mortals… to peek or poke… sanity, no joke… really to stroke…
