How to Use Magic
The use of Arcane Magic is both incredibly difficult and taxxing upon the body. Most casters depend upon their own energies (END) to fuel their spells. A few notable exceptions to the use of a Wizard's own END can occur in places of power, where the energy can be pulled from the ambient area, or by channeling the energies from the Aether with the Winds of Magic.

Casting the Spell
The act of casting a spell depends greatly on the perceise usage of the language of magic (Lingua Praestantia). A spellcaster uses this knowledge to articulate the Aether into the desire form by rolling the skill:
Knowledge Skill: Lingua Praestantia (Language of Magic). As spells become more powerful they also become more complex, adding to the difficult of casting advanced magics.
Within Magic there are four grades of spell: Petty, Arcane, Lore, and Chaos. Humans may learn a single Lore, while Elves may buy additional Lore as Perks, with a cost of 2 XP per Lore.
Tailoring the Spell
A Wizard who is casting an Petty or Arcane spell may tailor or boost the power of the spell by adding a successful: KS: Lore of [Wizard's School]
Limitations of Magic
All spells require the ability to speak, some may require material components, and others may also require gestures. In a caster is unable to speak clearly but where they could still try to speak, such as being underwater or with a gag in their mouth, penalities may be applied to the casting roll.
