Battle Magic Lore

Unlike many Wizards who spend long hours in darkened rooms studying their arcane arts by candlelight, practitioners of Battle Magic tend to be hardy individuals, as at home on the battlefield as they are in their libraries. This is because, unlike other lores that may be studied, Battle Magic is openly offensive and tailored towards use upon the field of battle (which, given the Lore's name, should come as no surprise), and it is here that masters of the Lore hone their skill. Practitioners of Battle Magic are favoured by cunning generals all across the Old World and beyond, and their services are often in high demand. Many an opposing army has been undone by devastating fireballs cast from afar, found a cloying mist obscuring their view, their path blocked by a bend in the river that was not there before, or their courage sapped as arrows fell upon them with supernatural accuracy. Those that wield Battle Magic will draw their power from whichever of the Winds of Magic suits their purpose. They grasp at the red wind, summoning forth fire from the air to rain upon the enemy, the green wind to armour themselves with the strength of oak, the grey wind to cow and demoralise their foe, and more besides. To a Battle Mage, the incorporeal dangers of harnessing several Winds of Magic at once are of little concern – what matters most is turning the tide and ensuring swift victory.

Elementalism Lore

Wizards that study Elementalism will often hide their art from the uneducated masses, for the powers they wield can easily be mistaken for darker arts such as Daemonology or Necromancy, summoning as they do elemental spirits from the ætheric netherworld. But for all the suspicion that haunts their study, their abilities are often in great demand. Many a farming community has sought out the aid of an Elementalist to end a period of drought; their ability to summon rain from a clear sky the difference between a prosperous and a failed harvest. Many a ship's captain will seek an Elementalist's services for long and dangerous voyages, hoping that their charms can deliver favourable winds and settle a restless ocean. Still other Elementalists conceal their craft behind a more mundane façade. Many a skilled blacksmith or farrier secretly manipulates the red wind to heat their forge and the iron that glows within it by arcane means, producing works of great wonder. Other Elementalists prefer to turn their magical powers to a different, more scientific purpose, melding arcane knowledge of the yellow wind and study of natural philosophy within the halls of academia to study alchemy. In battle, the powers an Elementalist wields are a considerable blessing, able as they are to disrupt the enemy lines, entrench and defend their own, and even cause the weapons of allies to burn with the heat of their forging whilst the armour of their foes crumbles to rust.
