Ancient Magic

Old Majiik

Rediscovering the lost secrets of the ancient ways would revolutionize today's usage of magic in ways we can't even imagine.

— Paitr Goldaming

Ancient Magic refers to the long lost practice of magical manipulation through the use of current stones. Frequently referred to as Old Majiik in the few remaining historical texts referencing the technology, the spells cast in this manner are purportedly powerful or able to circumvent certain limitations in the present day use of magic. As a result the rediscovery of the methods of ancient magic is a major goal of most organizations working to advance magical research and development.

Utility

Ancient Magic is believed to be a more potent version of the Magic so prevalent across Fillimet today. Myths ascribe the Old Majiik powers ranging from sustained spells free from the requirements of rune magic, to super-powered Curative Magic capable of granting eternal life.
While these fantastical claims are surely exaggerated, the few historical records that do mention the active practice of ancient magic show a level of awe or even fear of those capable of mastering the lost art. Paitr Goldaming's efforts to seek answers from the feral dragons revealed a deep respect for the practice, coupled with a reluctance to discuss the lost art.

Access & Availability

Not much is known today about the rituals and applications of the magic of the ancients. Thorough research at the Fillimet Magical Archives only yields rudimentary conjecture and vague references, as the art of ancient magic was a closely guarded secret, and its fall from usage predates most written records in the archives.
Avid researchers have identified the mysterious current stones as an integral component in the ways of the old majiiks, but can only cast conjecture at the details of their usage or even their manufacturing processes.
