Magic

Magic is believed to be a property of the world itself, created by gods, but perhaps not limitless in its form or function. Some people have proposed that it is a material that takes the shape of its user's desire. Others suggest that it is a peek into the very systems that govern our universe.

In all cases, rigorous study across all the ages of Blimnor has revealed that all magic has two basic properties. The first is that of energy, where energetic magic is conspicuous, powerful, and volatile, whereas entropic magic is subtle, weak, and safe. The second property is complexity. Complex magic is intentionally fashioned toward a specific purpose, often at the exclusion of others. Simple magic instead has broad and indiscriminate.

While the complexity of magic is not observed to change naturally without the interference of intelligent people, magic that is disused or ignored will gradually lose energy until there is only the faintest hint of magic remaining.

Simple Entropic Magic

Magic in its most primal state is simple and without energy. In this state, it can be nearly indistinguishable from non-magic. However, it will still have a subtle effect. Examples of simple entropic magic may be a beautiful stone, or an odd tree, or a calming stream.

Simple Energetic Magic

Magic in its most destructive state is simple in its nature, but full of energy. In this state, magic is quite conspicuous, often exhibiting a noticeable glow, distinctive noise, or discomforting aura. If disturbed it can unleash its magic suddenly and without discretion. Examples may be crystals, orbs, monoliths, or rifts.

Complex Entropic Magic

Magic in its dormant state is complex, but without energy. In this state magic will leave curious evidence of its existence often in the form of text, runes, diagrams, or other patterns, however it is unlikely to reveal the nature of its purpose without both an infusion of magical energy and an understanding of the meaning of its patterns. Examples may be books, inscriptions, diagrams, and artifacts.

Complex Energetic Magic

Magic in its rarest state is both complex and energetic. In this state, the presence of magic is quite obvious, however its behavior is far more specific and purposeful. This may resemble supernatural structures like floating bridges, portals, or animated objects. While less prone to destruction than simpler magic, its complexity often serves to hide that this magic is far more dangerous in its capacity to affect reality itself.
