Abilities

Magic abilities
Magic abilities are spell-like but not cast by a spell. That is they seem like things magic spells can do. They can be silenced and will not work in antimagic areas.

Supernatural abilities
These abilities don't imitate spells, but they are not what the creature should naturally have either. An undead's immunity to cold is supernatural. These spells can not be disrupted by antimagic fields or silencing spells.

Natural abilities
These are the abilities that natural creatures are born with. These are not magical, nor do they seem to be. They correspond to every logical laws of nature and physics.

  Artifacts

Starfyre - A black bladed sword used by the royalty of Avalon for many centries. It was recently given to Nick Corwin as a gift from King Makoto of Avalon.

Book of Kalas - Kalas was a powerful and evil wizard of some time ago. He wrote a spell called the Chaos Spell which would cause two galaxies to collide.

Holy Heart Ruby - This is one of the componates needed for the Chaos Spell. It was lost 10,000 years ago after the spell was last used.

Sagra's Dagger - Sagra was a great and powerful hero trying to make the universe as safer place for all. His dagger is one of the compants needed for the Chaos Spell.

Kai's Crown - The exact properties and abilties of this crown are unknown. It was the royal crown passed down through generations in Oshiana until the day Kayos killed Kai and took the crown. The crown is missing a few magical gems where Kayos removed them to give them to Karandora as a way to taunt her.

  Types of Magic

Magic in Nepherasta is really pretty simple. You're either born with it, or you have to learn it.


Innate
Innate is magic that a creature is born with. It is learned through experience and necessity. Creatures with innate abilities, such as fey do not pick what spells they learn next, when it is time for them to gain a new spell, then the situation in which they are in will determine the spell.

For Example, when Nikkolys Arepharis gained enough experience and magical build up to learn a new spell during the Hana�Var wars, he learned sunlight because he was fighting vampires.


Arcane
Arcane is taught though rigorous schooling and study. People not born with innate magic can learn arcane by spending hours pouring over books. Once a spell is learned however it can easily be cast with the help of a magic weapon like a rod, staff, or wand. When a wizard wishes to learn a new spell they have to study hard to do so, but unlike creatures with innate magic, a wizard can pick his or her spell.

  Elements

There are 13 elements of magic in Nepherasta. (I'll add more about them in the near future.)

  Items

Pixie Spheres - These come in a varaity of color and shape. The smallest of the fey have learned to contain magic inside small spheres typcialy made of glass. In most cases a command word must be given to activate the sphere.

  • Teleportation Sphere ~ This sphere is red and blue. It is preset to take the user back to a certain location. When the two sides of the sphere are twisted toward each other the sphere turns purple and there is a brief light show which swirls around the user and teleports him or her away. A day later the sphere will reset itself so it may be used again.

  • Location Sphere ~ This sphere can be set to identify the location of up to ten people. The sphere can only be set to someone when they are in a range of 10 feet. The sphere tracks the target's biosignature and then can locate them no matter how far away they are. Often times a second command word can take the user to the located target.

  • Communication Sphere ~ This sphere is small and green. It allows the user to open a communication with another person holding a sphere of the same type. These spheres are popular among adverturing companions, guild members, and law men.

  • All Purpose Sphere ~ These are very expensive and very hard to make. They have to be made of the finest glass in order to contain the magic properly. They can be very fragile, but they contain the same properties of a teleportation sphere, a location sphere, and a communication sphere. They swirl always with red, blue, green, and purple.

  • Pixie Fire Grenades ~ Also called the Fire Sphere. These are the smallest of all the spheres. They are the size and color of small orange marbles. When thrown (or knocked around real hard) these spheres explode in a huge firey display. Despite their small size each sphere can do the same amount of damage as a young dragon's breath. They should be handled with the upmost care.
