Kranjax's Classification of Arcana Major, Minor, and Some Things in Between

There were 3 friends who loved magic and studied it. They traveled the world documenting spells and learning about magic.
They each had a tome in which to record and share their findings. The tomes were linked and would grow with the content the 3 friends added.

Purpose

A classificaion system of magic and an ever-growing repository of all known spells and fey recipes

Document Structure

Caveats

The original documents cannot be destroyed via known magical means. Attempts to do so will rebound the spell back at the caster at 4 times the original strength, up to a certain point. The rebound mechanic seems to understand that multiplying a spell beyond a certain point is ill-advised, and thusly, will only use the original strength of the spell.
The original documents have occasionally displayed sentience and a willingness (or lack thereof) to be opened or held by certain individuals. You do not choose this book as a reader, it chooses you.

Publication Status

There are 3 original copies of the manuscript. The first was hand written and the subsequent 2 others were copied via magical means.
The content related to the collection of spells is revised every so often, however, the original spell used on the initial tomes has been lost to time. and was intentionally omitted by the creator of he document

Historical Details

Public Reaction

The public was made aware of this book, but were somewhat miffed that it could not be read by just anyone. There is 1 public copy of the book, and it's trying to open it to read it is essentially the same as pulling a holy sword from a stone.

Legacy

The original set of 3 books are said to be a heritage of the magical arts of the entire world.

Preface

This is to serve as a guide for those to follow in regards to the classification, function, and nature (or lack thereof) of all things which I know to be magic. As it is knowledge I myself have compiled over the years, I cannot say that it is anywhere near a complete record or classification, but in the absence of a method by which to sort known magics, I have taken it upon myself to devise one.

Spell List
~~~

Anomolous Attribute Combinations: These are elemental attribute combinations that should never occur naturally. If you encounter them, you are dealing with something very strange, and likely very strong, which is to say, don't make them angry.

• Dark + fire: nightfire
• Dark + earth: black earth
• Dark + wind: nightwind
• Gravity + water: heavy surge
• Gravity + wind: force gale
• Gravity + dark: black/dark hole
• Fire + water
• Earth + wind
• Malign + Benign

Dark is not the same as malign Light is not the same as benign
Malign + element adds "tainted" or "cursed" to the skill's traits. Benign adds a "blessed" or "purified" effect to skills
Spell Traits: Area of Effect Damage over time Healing over time mana drain? statuses? Siesimic - shakes the ground/ target object: will destabilize anyone or anything on it, making more suceptible to prone. Deals double damage to entities underground or inside target. Spells with "siesmic" as a trait cannot work on targets that are not on the ground, such as aircraft or oceanbound vessels

...no, I have not written this book within a book yet. It'll be a while... if you have questions, just drop a comment and I'll likely answer unless its a spoiler...
