Tribes on the western continent of Nexus don�t use the magic that city-folk use; instead, their powers come from the same ideas that the Native Americans and pagans of Europe constructed. Each tribe will have at least one Shaman, Maester, or Seer, depending on where you are. They will be the most spiritually powerful beings in the tribe. The following lists explain some of the things that tribal creatures use that other beings may not.
A. Candles
Any one candle burning will effect anyone who is in the light it casts.
black � repel negativity, dark magic; creates confusion or discord among enemies (protect from black)
blue � loyalty, group success, peace, harmony
brown � contacting nature spirits, intuition, money
yellow � good fortune, money, knowledge, happiness, intuition (+1 to all thieves)
green � abundance, fertility, healing, balancing unstable situation
