Types of Magic

The Six Schools Of Magic

Although various cultures and groups in the real world have developed many different systems of what could be described as magic, on MRO we officially only recognize the interpretation of magic as used and defined in-story by the Welldrinker Cult. Your characters are allowed to interpret magic however they want and don't have to believe that magic comes in the six ways the Welldrinkers say, but for gameplay mechanics, any magic that a character uses needs to fall in one of the six categories of magic detailed below.

Mystics don't have equal aptitudes for all types of magic. Some are great at throwing fireballs, others are better at making monsters or reading the future. Every mystic has a strong, near-mutant aptitude in one of the six schools of magic, allowing them to do powerful, frequent, and/or complicated things in that field. They also tend to have a very basic affinity for a second school. Through lots of time, practice, and study, they can slowly increase their aptitude in other fields, gaining access to new schools or deepening their abilities in a school they already use.
