Creating Characters - Shadow Magic

Shadow Magic Schools

Every shadow magic school is associated with an element in its Everway sense. "Fire Magic" is magic that draws on your own bodies stores of energy, and probably works through site or movement. It need not have anything to do with controlling flames.

Once you have named your school and chosen an appropriate elemental association, the next step is to create a ladder of ability levels from 1 to as high as 10. A character with a score of 5 in Soil and Stone magic has all of the abilities listed from 1-5.

Buying Shadow Magic

Your shadow magic score can not be higher than your score in the school's governing element. If your Fire score is 6, and Flux magic is governed by Fire, you can not have a magic score greater than 6. Needless to say, every point you spend on shadow magic is one you can't spend on element scores or major powers. The Magic Formula page details how to design and use magic.
