Gods and Magic

​

Runes


Runes are words of power that envok the very essence of an object.


Pscionics


Psychics and Fortuntellers using their own mental strength to move objects or see the strings of fate.


Arcane


Drawing on the arcane power flowing through the realms, mortals and Dragons alike can use it to move objects or fling bolts of energy.


Infernal


The user draws on the power of Darkness using it to invoke the powers of there patron.


Natural


Manipulating the energy that flows through all living things it can be used to cause anything in nature.


Divine


The user draws on the power of Light using it to invoke the powers of there gods.


How are the Gods/Deamons made?


Simply put the faith of mortals in a god creates the God and gives it power. The more people believe in a god the more powerful it is. Thus a god acts as an amplifier, allowing people to call upon them for aid. The gods then let the power they've stored and grown flow to the mortal allowing the mortal to weild that gods power.
