Magic Abilities List

(C) = “Complete” = This magic language can be used on its own

(P) = “Partial” = This magic language requires another language to be used (mixed spells)

The 5 Elements = Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Electricity

Dissonance Scale

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = The numbers tell you how much physical backlash is caused by using a language outside of your affinity (Linguistic Dissonance). This applies to the Law of Affinity. All mages, including Resonants, suffer from the Law of Embodiment. 

• (1) = No physical backlash. 
• (2) = A dull, persistent headache. Like low-level static in your mind. Noticeable, but easy to ignore in a fight.
• (3) = A sharp, spiking migraine. Can cause nosebleeds and brief disorientation.
• (4) = Intense, burning pain, as if your nerves are on fire. Blackened veins appear on the skin as magic channels overload. 
• (5) = Agonizing, all-consuming pain. Causes internal hemorrhaging and risks a stroke. High chance of permanent physical damage. The user is immediately incapacitated.
• (6) = Beyond pain; a feeling of the soul and body being torn apart. The spell consumes the caster. The body unravels into raw energy, resulting in certain death and spiritual annihilation.

Indo-European (Creation Class) – Create & Manipulate Matter, People, or Souls

  • Above average strength vessel required: Future Sight is one of the strongest (non-forbidden) powers. But due to the Law of Embodiment, an extremely strong body is required to use it. And even then, it can only be used for short periods. Mages with this affinity, avoid using future sight (unless necessary) as it causes massive physical strain.

Special Class (Language Isolates) 

• The First Language: This language is LOST. All languages originate from the first language.
