	'''Magic''' is a process of changing the world through willworking and manipulation of [[mana]]. It is the primary special ability system for the majority of [[Guilds]] in DragonRealms; every guild but [[Barbarians]] and [[Thieves]] have some spells they teach their members in order to accomplish their goals. [[Barbarians]] and [[Thieves]] do, however, make use of several of the magic skills in their own ways, and know the magic skillset as the [[Supernatural skillset]] instead.

	Casting a spell is at least a two-step process. First you must {{com\|PREPARE}} the spell, specifying an amount of mana you intend to power it with. Note that you will not actually harness any mana at this point, and you may add more mana later by harnessing it; see below. Each spell has a minimum amount of mana below which it will not form successfully and a maximum amount above which additional mana cannot be added; your prepare amount must fall between these two levels. If your skill is too low to cast a spell using even the minimum amount of mana, you will be unable to prepare the spell. Preparing the spell pattern completely takes a certain amount of time depending on the spell; however, you may short-circuit these preparations by casting early, if you wish.		Casting a spell is at least a two-step process. First you must {{com\|PREPARE}} the spell, specifying an amount of mana you intend to power it with. You can use the {{com\|Discern}} {{tt\|<spellname>}} command to see an estimate on how much mana you can cast at based on your current skill. Note that you will not actually harness any mana at this point, and you may add more mana later by harnessing it; see below. Each spell has a minimum amount of mana below which it will not form successfully and a maximum amount above which additional mana cannot be added; your prepare amount must fall between these two levels. If your skill is too low to cast a spell using even the minimum amount of mana, you will be unable to prepare the spell. Preparing the spell pattern completely takes a certain amount of time depending on the spell; however, you may short-circuit these preparations by casting early, if you wish.

	Once your preparations are complete (or you wish to cast early), simply {{com\|CAST}} the spell, specifying your targets as you do so. At this point you will actually harness the specified amount of mana and create the specified effect. In addition, any other sources of mana (see below) may contribute to the spell pattern, up to the maximum amount. The effectiveness of a spell depends on the amount of mana used to power it; in turn, your ability to channel mana into a spell is determined by your relevant magic skills and the amount of time spent preparing it. If you attempt to use too much mana, or cast too quickly for the amount of mana being used, you will [[backfire]], and the spell will fail.

	Most spells are learned directly from your Guildmaster. Each spell has certain prerequisites, such as knowing other spells already or having attained a specific circle; they also cost a certain number of spell slots based on how much the spell does. Generally, buffing a specific skill or attribute is worth one slot, as well as modifications such as affecting multiple targets. Being cyclic tends to reduce the cost of a spell by one slot, since its use is limited; most other penalties do not affect a spell's cost. Spell slots are gained as you circle at different rates depending on your Magic skillset placement. Barbarians also gain ability slots at the same rate, despite not being a spell using guild.

			From 1st to 10th circle, you have free access to the [[Burden]], [[Ease Burden]], [[Manifest Force]] and [[Strange Arrow]], [[:Category:Analogous_Patterns_spellbook\|analogous patterns]] spells. These free spells are removed at 11th circle, at which point you will need to use scrolls or permanently memorize one to continue using it.

	Spells that use a [[mana]] type other than your attuned mana are especially difficult to cast (see [[Magical Theory]]) and use the [[Sorcery skill]] as a mastery skill instead of Primary Magic. In addition, there is a cap on effective skill relative to Sorcery skill, making it hard to cast any sorcery if your skill is low regardless of your other skills. (This cap is also in place for Primary Magic, but high enough that it rarely comes into play.)

	Spell difficulties fall into one of ~~four~~ categories: introductory spells, which can be cast immediately with a new character; basic spells, which require about 10 ranks; advanced spells, which require around ~~100~~ ranks; and esoteric spells, which may require ~~200~~ or more ranks to cast. Introductory spells act as basic spells for out-of-guild casting.		Spell difficulties fall into one of five categories: introductory spells, which can be cast immediately with a new character; basic spells, which require about 10 ranks; intermediate spells, which require around 80 ranks; advanced spells, which require around 250 ranks; and esoteric spells, which may require 400 or more ranks to cast. Introductory spells act as basic spells for out-of-guild casting.
