ARATANINE PRINCIPLES OF MAGIC
In this WIP, I have been trying out some new things to explore the nature of the magic systems deeper.
This magic system is heavily based on the Aratanine Principles. In other words, it is the concept of duality which is a mutual collaboration between stasis and change. It was derived from the core concept of Wan-Gesh, a combining aspect of time and space believed to govern the cosmos. In terms of practical magic yet instead of typical magicka-based magical exhaustion, a said magic is expressed through three main cooperative mediums: Caster, Limit, and Will.
Caster is anything sentient that can harness the power of the cosmic laws in integrating one’s magical capabilities to emit an effect, either physical or abstract, directly or indirectly.
Limit is a sub-aspect of stasis and opposition that is potential to weaken the efficiency and effectiveness of the casted magic.
Will is a sub-aspect of change and flow that is potential to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the casted magic.
Generally, one’s magical abilities are governed by Limit as well as Will of that caster. There are two main laws: Internality and Externality. The diagram below summarizes the basic principles of the magic system.
