Magic works in a very strange way on Yorl; whenever a character casts a spell, their hands will glow with what is called a Magic Aura. Each person has a different one, and everybody has a different colour. The colour is usually random, but it has been known to be affected by race and alignment.
It's a tiring exercise, magic. When used it will tire people out. Some greater spells may even knock you out. But these are spells designated from Raw Magic.
There are different kinds of magic: Holy, Unholy, Form, and Raw.
Holy magic, commonly used by priests or clerics, used to heal the wounded, invoke the wrath of a god on someone, smite the undead, or even bless people with the power of angels.
Unholy magic, used by necromancers and other dark magic users, used to inflict pain, summon the demons of hell, raise the dead, or use the powers of shadow. Unholy magic is a usually shunned branch of magic, due to its affiliation with necromancers and the dark arts, however, unholy magic can be used in positive ways, such as resting the restless undead, or warding away haunting spirits.
Form magic is a very strange way of magic, used to alter the shape of beings and objects. This is also used to command elements.
Raw magic is the most powerful and potent form of magic. It fills the air, it flows through every living things veins. It is everything. Raw magic is extremely dangerous, and only the most mighty sorcerors and powerful wizards can wield it without killing themselves. Raw magic is accessed by reaching into the essence of existance itself and altering something ever so slightly that something changes. Raw magic is most commonly used for telekinesis, the safest form of Raw magic. It is also used for creating items from thin air, summoning, teleportation, and even changing the speed of time.
Familiars:
Used by wizards and sorcerors, familiars are an animal companion that a wizard or sorceror can have. They can fight for their masters, and are very useful for certain tasks such as mounts and message-carrying. The Twisted also have familiars, they are usually little imps or other demonic denziens.
