The magic

The magic in the realm of 'Tiger and the Raven'.

These are my notes, so they may seem a bit rudimentary.



The spells
- Healing spells are the first every sorcerer learns to handle.

- Earthkin spells. Often used as a shield since it can be packed very densely. Not much can destroy earthkin spells since they are so very basically composed.

- Firekin spells. Mostly used for destruction since fire is naturally rampant and greedy.

- Airkin spells. Used as shields often when earthkin spells cannot be utilized – for instance in a city – but are more easily destroyed by the attack than earthkin shields. Firekin spells are best to destroy airkin shields.

- Waterkin spells. Are often difficult to use by sorcerers that are not skilled with them since waterkin are too changeable. Waterkin sorcerers (men and women that live close to or on the sea) are strongest with them though these sorcerers are very rare.

- Spiritkin spells are a rare gift and are often fairly weak when they do appear. It requires great dedication and strength to use them and they quickly drain out all power. They are quite simple to use though, as long as they aren’t mixed with any other element. But the catch about spiritkin spells is that they are often too weak to be used on their own so they must be mixed to do some good. They mix best with airkin spells since air is fairly light and not too different in composition. Earthkin is too heavy to mix with spiritkin unless the sorcerer is very strong of mind and will. Firekin is too rampant for spiritkin and will only burn it out unless the sorcerer is skilled and strong enough to restrain the fire. Waterkin spells are too changeable to mix well at all, though waterkin sorcerers can manage it.

- Allkin spells. Spells that are a mix of all the other spells to the sorcerer’s preference. They are difficult to master and only once in five hundred years does a sorcerer appear strong enough of will and mind to wield them.



Warrior mage
A myth in this time since they burned themselves out using too heavy spells of allkin, and they all fell into madness when they were slowly eaten alive by the magic they sought to tame.
