Part of the rules of nature that govern the use of magic is this concept of “lines of power.” That is each magus is limited in what they can do by whatever kind of magic they were born with. For example, Flame is a pyromancer and illusionist. This means that no matter how hard she studies she can never learn to cast a lightning bolt[1]. Her power is restricted to that of fire and illusions. Read the rest of this entry »
