Editing The Basics (section)

== Magic Reimagined ==
Magic it thought of differently within the Rings. There are four main types of magic: high, low, titanic, and primordial magic. 

High magic is magic derived from higher dimensions on the Cosmic Stack. Healing, life, and purity are thought to flow from high magic. Clerics and paladins are known to wield high magic. Due to this, most people have a positive opinion of high magic. High magic itself is derived from the dreams of an individual. From these dreams, ex nihilo magical energy is created. Often gods or other beings of great power help to foster these dreams by directing a person's focus to themselves while lending their own magical power like adding a match to dry tinder. 

Low magic on the other hand is hated and derided. Low magic’s source are dimensions lower on the Cosmic Stack. As legend says, low magic was once the counterpart of high magic until the high god [[Sin]] placed his nature within the magic’s core. This is only partially true. Sin journeyed beyond the Cosmic Stack in an attempt to right a cosmic wrong. During this process he was corrupted by the Endless. Now, the faint touch of the Endless can be felt in all low magic. 

Low magic is known to be destructive not only in its application of the spells but also the after effects of casting the magic. There are many instances that show that an overuse of low magic can cause the dead to rise. Additionally, when a low magic user dies, their body radiates necrotic energy for sometimes hundreds of years causing even more undead to rise. 

Due to this, most governments make it their mission to ban or outlaw low magic users. Organizations, like the Ard Magos, also hunt down those who abuse low magic. 

There is also primordial magic. It is believed that this energy is drawn from the rings themself. Primordial magic users draw their energy from the universe around them, extracting the potential within all things, then molding that potential into spells. At its core, Primordial magic is about shifting energy from one area to another. While high magic creates and low magic destroys, Primordial magic users live in harmony with the world around them. They draw upon the dimension they are currently in. Primordial magic can be accessed in many forms. New forms of primordial magic are being found all the time. 

Finally, there is Titanic Magic. Feared by many denizens after the Titanic Wars and Vitality Wars, Titanic Magic was once firmly under the control of the eldritch evil known as the [Dark Star]] which caused the Titans to fall and attack the Cosmic Stack. With many of the Titans restored as of 786 A.R., Titanic magic is slowly becoming more accepted in the Rings of Meropis. The magic works via accessing a being's own power now and paying the price of the magic later.
