Hi All,
In this post I am
going to talk about the mechanics of the world. The first issue I am going to
deal with is how the magic works.
My idea for the magic
is that every living thing interacts with its environment. In other words every
single living thing has countless “relationships” e.g. competition, predator –
prey, interdependence etc. These relationships go all the way up to great
political relationships and great decisions being made that will affect all
living things.
Every living thing is
connected to this web of relationships. One who is capable to do magic can draw
energy from this web.
The different
brotherhoods teach magic in different ways. The castle brotherhood is all about
strategy. The Buddhist’s are all about attaining a higher state of being where
one is “absorbed” into the web. The forest brotherhood is all about being “at
one” with nature. And so on.
The cave brotherhood
has a special ability. They can construct objects which can channel this energy
to do a specific task such as teleport the user to a different place in the
web. I have decided to name these objects as “fons”.
The magic’s energy
comes from the web but magic itself is split up into the five elements: fire,
water, air, earth and spirit.
Magic can be stored in
objects called “cons” the capacity of these cons vary as to the object it is
e.g. wood can only hold a tiny amount of object whereas gems can hold vast
amounts of energy.
Each element has a gem
at which it is attuned to.
Fire: Ruby
Water: Sapphire
Spirit: Jade
Earth: Emerald
Air: Diamond
Each Brotherhood has
an affinity to two elements
Waterfall: Water and
Spirit
Cave: Earth and Fire
Castle: Fire and Air
Freelancers: All
Forest: Earth and Air
City: Spirit and Fire
Dedicated (Buddhists): Spirit and Water
