Magic it thought of differently within [[The Rings]]. There are three main types of magic: [[High magic]], [[Low magic]],and [[Primordial magic]]. [[High magic]] is magic derived from “pure” or good aligned [[Dimensions]] like Mt. Celestia, Arborea, and other pure sources. 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]]. [[Low magic]] on the other hand is hated and derided. Low magic’s source are Dimensions of evil such as [[Hell]], Gehenna, and other corrupted sources. As legend says, [[Low magic]] was once the counterpart of [[High magic]] until the evil [[High gods|High god]] [[Sin]] placed his nature within the magic’s core. Now, Sin’s influence weaves its way through all [[Low magic]] casters. [[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. The first undead are thought to have been created by [[Low magic]]. 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. [[Primordial magic]] can be accessed in many forms. Stranger still, new forms of [[Primordial magic]] are being found all the time.
