Mooncurrent Magic

Written by orphidor

Mooncurrent magic is a particularly dangerous variety of magic to wield, yet it promises great rewards for those brave enough to practice it. Mooncurrent magic can be wielded wherever moons can be viewed in the sky (namely within the Middle and Higher Realms.)

Effect

This brand of magic is known for its divination and transmutation influences. With spells that draw their potency from the cycles and phases of the moons, practitioners are able to shape their physical form, learn information they would otherwise have no access to, transform the world around them in various ways, and perform other stronger-yet-rarer spells.

Side/Secondary Effects

As with any type of magic, the use of mooncurrent magic comes with risks. In particular, the warping of one's body is extremely common when spells are done incorrectly or a person attempts to perform a ritual they're not ready for. From a subtle change in the shape of one's nose to full-blown eldritch alterations to a person's limbs, these warps can vary in intensity and are extremely difficult to undo, even with the use of further spells.

Applied Restriction

In the Middle Realm, the spells cast as part of this discipline are harder to use and less potent during periods of time where all three moons are dark.
