The Domain of Animus, commanded by the water Goddess Aqui, is the very essence of vitality. In this Domain, practitioners not only acquire the power to manipulate water but also gain the Aspect of Healing.

This Domain boasts a significant number of practitioners, much like the prosperous Corpus Domain. Animus mages can be found throughout society, spanning all social strata, with many of them establishing businesses where they combine their magical abilities with medical practice. This dual proficiency proves invaluable, as there exist many illnesses that cannot be solely remedied by magic. Conversely, some healers and nurses follow the path of water, using its properties to enhance their healing capabilities.

Upon completing their training, many adepts find themselves drawn to a life at sea, if their mastery of water manipulation surpasses their healing skills. It is said that the most accomplished Animus mages hail from the southern regions of Morozia. Numerous of them venture across the continent, seeking employment in remote corners. 

There are no known rules that determine an individual’s predisposition towards either healing or water manipulation. Some argue that it depends on a person’s nature and character, but that is up for debate.

Practitioners of Animus typically experience enhanced strength, vitality, and physical fitness, as the element they command is none other than life itself. They don’t undergo any unnatural changes to their appearance.

The Domain of fire is also the one that brings mayhem and suffering, as Spells originating from the magic of Optatio are the exact opposite of Animus. Mages of this Domain are characterized by hunger for power and prioritizing power above all else. The offensive nature of the spells makes many of them forbidden, as they cause unnecessary suffering to defeat opponents. 

The Domain is divided into the Fire Aspect and the Destruction Aspect, with the latter being dishonorable to use. Those skilled in Optatio arts often find themselves employed in various protective roles, as their mere presence effectively deters potential aggressors. Fire magic stands out as one of the few forms of magic that doesn’t rely on the physical presence of the element, as its mages can draw upon the ambient heat of the air. They do have trouble casting spells during the coldest seasons and in frigid lands, but they can easily find workarounds when needed with the simplest one being a little bit of Dragonwood.

The Destruction Aspect, on the other hand, is generally frowned upon and often forbidden, as its spells, no matter how minor, cause extreme suffering. The teachings of this Aspect are not allowed in many places, much like certain books and scrolls. Nonetheless, some argue that to reach true mastery over magic, understanding every side of it is essential.

Those who delve into the Domain of Optatio undergo changes in their bodies that usually spread to their minds. They radiate warmth, with some perpetually enveloped in steam during colder months. Masters of fire can be seen literally burning when using magic, with their hair shining bright white. Their skin becomes permanently burned, bearing the marks of burns, blisters, and scabs, particularly on their hands, prompting many to wear gloves. Viridis dermal tissue blackens, becoming more resilient to the element. Mages appear dry and almost ashen, with their skin resembling statues more than anything alive. Adepts of Destruction are short-tempered and often aggressive. They disregard the value of life and, partly because of that, are usually unempathetic.

Somnia is the Domain of Ria, encompassing Aspects of Air and Illusion. Users of this Aspect are often disliked due to the fact that many of them use their power for deception, creating illusions and spreading convincing lies. Within the arcane community, a belief persists that they are the weakest, having lost much of the ancient knowledge. However, from time to time, they manage to astonish everyone with unexpected displays of their abilities and potential. It is said that in the past, they were capable of creating objects from thin air and manipulating mist at will. These tales are now regarded as either lies or a bitter reminder of what was lost.

Many adepts of Somnia embark on journeys to the farthest corners of the world in their quest for forgotten knowledge, and as a result, they are highly esteemed among the educated. Their mastery over the Aspect of air grants them the ability to conjure winds at will, making them valuable assets aboard ships. Countless stories recount the heroic deeds of wind mages who have rescued ships by calming both the wind and the turbulent waters.

On the contrary, illusionists are frequently regarded with suspicion and disapproval, as their talents enable them to manipulate perception, often leading to deceitful and illicit activities. While there are few artisans who employ illusions as a form of artistic expression, they remain in the minority compared to the larger group of deceivers and criminals.

Practitioners of air magic experience a transformation, becoming noticeably lighter and more agile. Their hair tends to turn gray rapidly, and their complexion becomes notably paler. Illusionists undergo changes to their appearance, becoming somewhat eternal and transparent. Many alter their appearance as they see fit, enabling them to hide such physical changes. Powerful mages of the Somnia domain use weights to remain on the ground as it is entirely possible for them to some day fly away into the sky and disappear.

Air	4	Breeze | Close	Player creates a gust of wind (V) capable of moving small objects.
Air	7+X	Gust | Close	Player creates a gust of wind (V) capable of moving objects and people. The gust itself deals no damage, but objects moved by it can deal X damage. Characters in the range of gust must make an Athletics check on the difficulty of 3 + X, or they’ll be knocked down.
Air	7+X	Premonition | Close	Player creates an emotional influence on somebody that impacts their decision making.

The blast of air deals 2X damage, objects moved by it deal an additional 3X damage, and characters in its range must make an Athletics check on the difficulty of 12 + X, or they’ll be pushed and knocked down. If a player is pushed into a wall, this deals an additional 2X damage.

When a spell hits the barrier, a Willpower check is made against the caster with a bonus of +X for the player. If the check is successful, the spell is reflected back at the attacker. The barrier automatically disappears after X minutes or if the caster loses consciousness.

The Earth aspect is the last of the axial Domains and is strongly connected to the God of the land, Arret. There are many users of the Earth Aspect, as it is perhaps the most useful and versatile. It is also substantially easier than the Aspect of Metal, which requires a lot of focus and substantially more practice. Earth mages can control rock and ground, making their services essential in construction and landscaping. They often maintain roads and structures, reshaping them when needed. The outcome of such transformation is solid but rough and unfinished, making additional work necessary. They can create beautiful objects on a small scale, but it requires a lot of experience, which comes at a premium.

Metal mages start small and gradually work with larger elements. Many novices begin with soft metals, creating small jewelry and only later moving to an industrial scale. They can produce armor much faster than traditional blacksmiths, but their products often lack quality. Master mages can reorganize the structure of metals in a way that makes them indistinguishable from forged steel, but these practices are time-consuming.

Those who devote themselves to Corpus can expect to undergo visible changes. Earth mages’ skin and bones become hard and rough, with some experiencing difficulties in movement. Their hair and fingernails become solid and sharp. On the other hand, metal mages develop patches of rigid, mirror-like skin across their bodies, accompanied by an overall stiffening of their physique and eyes that gleam like mirrors. Adepts of Corpus are the most plentiful among the mages, as their spells are all-rounded and versatile, with offensive, defensive, and practical applications, allowing them to find easy employment in protection and construction.

Corpus Spells

Aspect	Formula	Spells name	Spells description
Earth	6+X	Stone spikes | Close	The player changes the consistency of the ground in a 10m2 area into an uncomfortable and spiky terrain. Characters moving through this terrain move at half speed and receive X damage if they are knocked down.
Earth	8+X	Hurl-a-rock | Far	The player levitates a boulder the size of a fist the air and hurls it at the opponent. The boulder deals D10/3+X damage. The struck character must make an athletics check at 5+X, and if they fail, they are knocked down.
Earth	7+X	Stone wall | close	The player creates a wall from nearby mud, rocks, etc. The wall covers up to 3m2, has X8 hit points and X Toughness. It can be made stronger and larger as determined by the Game Master.
Earth	6X	Stone armor | Touch	The player covers themselves or a chosen character with a thin layer of earth and stones, increasing their Toughness by X. Lasts for 3X turns.
Earth	A	Rock manipulation | Close	The player slowly transforms rock, earth, or similar substances into any form they desire. The spell takes a considerable amount of time but allows for versatility. The difficulty level of the check depends on the Game Master. For example, creating a stone cottage takes about 3 hours and requires a difficulty of 8. Creating a niche in the rock can take 20 minutes and require a difficulty of 10 or 2 hours and difficulty of 5.
Metal	6+X	Stone crush | Close	The player changes the consistency of the ground beneath a character, immobilizing them. The character must make an Athletics check at 5+X. If they fail, they are immobilized and can attempt to break free each turn.
Metal	A	Metallurgy | Close	The player slowly transforms metal into any form they desire. The spell takes a considerable amount of time but allows for various forms. Such metal objects are easily recognizable by their shape, which resembles solidified wax. The metal is also mechanically weak. The difficulty level depends on the Game Master. Bending metal bars could take 10 minutes and require 8 points.
Metal	5X	Sharpening | Touch	The player can sharpen non-magical metal weapons, giving them a bonus of +X to damage for X minutes. Item is considered magical at this time.

Metal	A	Hardening | Touch	The player hardens metal, giving it favorable properties. Weapons become hardened, springs become flexible according to the player’s wish. The difficulty level depends on the Game Master.

This Domain is the outcome of mixing the energy of Animus and Corpus, resulting in many skills that allow its users to manipulate growth devoid of souls, as well as summon and command the living. There are spells that enable the summoning of creatures and the breathing of life into the energy gathered from the surrounding area. Partus has three main Aspects: Plants, which allow control over flora; Summoning, which permits users to call different beings to their aid; and Transformation, granting power over the physical form of creatures.

Certain places have a high demand for the services of these individuals. Those who wield control over plants can be just as valuable as adepts of Corpus, particularly in regions like Verdalia, where structures are often constructed from plant materials. Some among them dedicate themselves to reforestation efforts and nurturing wildlife in challenging environments, although they constitute a minority within the mage community.

Adepts of Summoning may appear relatively inconspicuous, yet such skills hold vital importance for demon hunters. Each one of them possesses knowledge of the ancient banishing spell essential for eradicating rogue demons.

The Aspect of Transformation stands out as one of the most invaluable abilities for any mage. It empowers them not only to alter the physical forms of others but also to reshape their own. This capacity allows them to revert to their natural appearance, a practice they frequently engage in. Such transformations are necessary because prolonged use of most Aspects tends to warp the bodies of its practitioners, resulting in mutant-like features. 

Changes of transformation Aspect manifests as animalistic appendages, diverse skin textures, and an overall frightening appearance. Hence, many mages regularly undergo metamorphosis to maintain their human-like form. Those who practice the Summoning aspect often experience migraines and are known to hear voices of distant beings. Some go mad or become servants to evil entities, but most use potions and other medicine to keep these voices at bay. Alcohols are especially popular and effective. The Plant aspect makes creatures become more like Viridis, while having no effect on the plant folk.

Partus Spells

Aspect	Formula	Spells name	Spells description
Plants	8+X	Lianas | Close	The player controls nearby vegetation to form tentacle-like vines they can use as melee weapons, dealing D10+X damage within 5 yards (meters) in a continuous line. The spell lasts for a minute.
Plants	3X	Thicket | Close	The player transforms the surrounding earth into tall grass covering 5 yards (meters) radius which limits visibility and mobility. The grass can be as high as 4 feet (120 cm), and its height and thickness increase with the concentration of the spell.
Plants	6+X	Growth | Close	The player magically stimulates the growth of nearby plants in a 20-yard (meter) area. Withered plants slowly come back to life, and crops become more abundant. X is the number of days the spell will affect the area. If the spell fails, the reverse effect occurs.
Plants	7+X	Thorns | Close	The player encourages the local flora to grow and creates thorny barriers that protect a specific area. The thorns deal X damage to anyone who comes into contact with them.

Summoning	5+X	Summon local fauna | Far	The player summons nearby animals to assist in combat. Depending on the spell’s strength, stronger creatures may appear. These creatures will aid in combat but won’t risk their lives and will flee as soon as they pass a successful Pain resistance check.
Summoning	5X	Elemental summoning | Touch	The player summons an elemental spirit of a magic Domain that they know. The creature possesses traits and skills related to the represented magic. Each statistic of this entity is X. This being obeys orders for XD10 turns and after that leaves the player.
Summoning	8+X	Demon summoning★ | Touch	The player summons a random wild demon that obeys their commands for a short time. After a few turns (D10 rolled secretly by the Game Master), the player loses control of the demon. As an action, the player can attempt an opposed Control (Willpower) check with a +X modifier to extend control over the demon (D10 rolled secretly by the Game Master). If the demon becomes free, the player has no control over it, and it cannot be dismissed in this way.
Summoning	6+X	Demon banishment★ | Touch	The player selects a weakened demon and attempts to banish it. They perform an opposed check of Control with a +X modifier, and if they win, the demon is banished.
Summoning	6X	Ethereal steed	The player summons an ethereal steed that serves as transportation. At level 10, it can also be used in combat. At level 15, it can fight on its own. Creature can be dismissed at will.
Transformation	A	Animorphia	The player transforms into a creature of their choice for 1 hour. After the transformation, which takes less than a minute, the player temporarily has the primary statistics of that creature. If the player transforms into a non-magical creature they retain the magic value but if they become a non magical creature at this time they remain animal forever. The player should spend many hours observing the creature they want to transform into to be well acquainted with it. The difficulty level depends on the chosen creature and is determined by the Game Master. Players can at will change back.
Transformation	12+X	Change curse★ | Touch	The player transforms a chosen character into a creature of their choice for 1 hour. After the transformation, which takes about a minute, the character temporarily has the primary statistics of that creature. A character who does not want to be transformed must make a Magic resistance check at 5+X, or 10+X if unconscious. If the transformed character becomes a non-magical creature in that hour, they remain in the transformed form permanently. The player should spend many hours observing the creature they want to transform the character into to be well acquainted with it. X depends on the chosen creature, and is determined by the Game Master.
Transformation	6+X	Metamorphosis	The player can change the shape of their body, allowing them to pass through even the smallest cracks. The transformation takes 10-X turns. During the transformation, the player moves very slowly and can take any 1 action.
Transformation	A	Restoration | Touch	The player magically repairs a damaged object or mechanism. After casting the spell, the object slowly begins to repair itself. The difficulty level is decided by the Game Master and is dependent on the complexity of the object and time available.
Transformation	A	Alchemical exchange★ | Touch	The player transforms a power crystal into another substance, usually a metal (gold, silver, copper, etc.). The amount of the new substance is usually smaller than the original crystal, and its value is almost always lower. The difficulty level depends on the substance being transformed into and is determined by the Game Master.

There is little good to be said about Torpor. Most of those who use it do so for nefarious purposes, with a small exception for the Narcosis Aspect. Users of the Ice Aspect are known to be dangerous and can cast their spells wherever there is humidity, while the Debilitation Aspect achieves its goals by making enemies weaker and diminishing their very soul. For these reasons, the latter is generally forbidden among mages. Those who practice the Ice aspect are generally found in the south, in Morozia, where they can manipulate the ever-present ice and snow. Most of their spells are generally offensive, allowing them to protect themselves and others.

Narcosis is the most respected Aspect of Torpor, as it is the one that calms nerves and heals the mind. Masters are known to remove madness from people and be able to subdue anyone they desire. There are few of them, as it seems that not everyone is able to control this power. Debilitation is the Aspect that some wish to have in their arsenal, as it allows them to quickly and sneakily defeat their enemies. Many assassins are known to weaken their enemies with magic, and when they are immobile, they strike. For that reason, it is almost impossible to find masters of Debilitation, as most of them are wanted criminals or are related to crime in some way. Academies don’t teach this Aspect, but knowledge can be obtained through other means.

Ice mages undergo opposite changes compared to Fire mages, with their bodies being much colder than those of the average folk and having frostbites on their hands. They are generally immune to cold, with many wearing little clothing in the coldest regions. Those who practice Narcosis are always sleepy and in need of some stimulants to stay awake. They are usually awake for much shorter periods than other folks, with some being awake for only a few hours daily. Debilitation is one that is the most difficult to observe, as those who practice it often hide their symptoms. It seems to inflict some amount of madness on its users, with them acting sickly and almost as if they are torn inside. There are rumors that prolonged usage of this Aspect tears the soul into pieces and causes death to the users.

Narcosis	8+X	Control over sleep | Touch	Player takes control of the dreams of a chosen sleeping character.

The effectiveness of such actions is 10% of X.
Narcosis	5+3X	Sudden fatigue | Touch	Player casts a spell that inflicts fatigue on the target. The target makes a Magic resistance check at a level of 7+X.

The entire Domain of Furor is strictly forbidden by law, sharing this severe regulation with only one other Domain, Excidium. There are numerous reasons for this ban, primarily due to the inherent dangers associated with harnessing the energies required for casting these spells. Such magic can easily rebound against its practitioners, leading to dire consequences. Additionally, it is widely recognized for its corrupting influence on the soul. Historically, those who dedicated themselves to any of the three Furor Aspects were notorious for wreaking havoc, both within academic institutions and beyond them. Eventually, these individuals would succumb to madness, turning against their own kind.

The Aspect of Decay is most malevolent, as every spell it offers inflicts harm in a gruesome manner, with some causing despair or spreading magical  plagues among people. Regardless of the justification for employing such spells, there are alternative methods to achieve similar effects without disfiguring everyone involved. While Decay afflicts the body, the Aspect of Madness torments the mind. There are numerous cruel spells that torture the psyche and induce visions of suffering, sometimes resulting in the worst forms of death. The Thunder Aspect is prohibited because it is too dangerous to practice, with many mages ending up in hurt after failing to cast the spells.

Those who practice the Decay often suffer from internal rot and exhibit numerous disease-like symptoms, while practitioners of the Madness Aspect without exception descend into madness themselves, displaying symptoms of what they inflict upon their victims. Thunder is perhaps the least destructive, as its consequences are largely superficial, with most of its users having black eyes and veins that shine with electricity while casting spells, along with dry and rough skin.

The Domain of Excidium encompasses all destructive energies, and some claim that there are no virtuous individuals in this realm, given that all its spells are inherently destructive and hazardous. Within this Domain, there are three Aspects: Energy, Lava, and Necromancy. Among these, Necromancy is met with the harshest punishment—a death sentence without exception. The severity of this penalty is such that even the mere possession of tomes associated with this Aspect leads to a death penalty unless surrendered to the authorities.

There are rules that should never be violated. The control over life and death is not meant for mortals to possess, for it is a realm reserved solely for the divine authority of the Gods. Necromancy allows the manipulation of the connection between the soul and the body while harnessing the ever-present magic. Practitioners of this Aspect believe that the soul and body are distinct elements that can be reconnected, but most believe that irreversible changes occur to both at the moment of death.

The Energy Aspect permits the user to channel magic into objects and condense it in a destructive manner, meant to annihilate the vessels, resulting in an explosion. The Lava Aspect might appear less objectionable, as it grants control over molten rock. However, there are rules and laws governing magic usage that disallow the destruction of energy itself. The manner in which this energy is employed renders it corrupted and fragile, with a ripple effect on other energies. It is believed that the Lava Aspect brings about adverse consequences for mortals when they fail to control magic, consequences not experienced by animals and other creatures. Consequently, it is forbidden not only for what it does to sentient beings but also for its impact on the magical aura.

Practitioners of the Energy and Lava Aspects can anticipate their bodies deteriorating and crumbling, while those who delve into Necromancy will desiccate and rot, resembling the deceased themselves.
