Collective Magic

Collective Magic is a method of magic that differs from Magical Binding. Binding is the art of combing various magical knowledge or practices to form a spell and uses the casters body to power it, thus this form of magic can be written into tomes and learnt by anyone who has the potential and capable body. Collective magic works very differently, a caster connects their body to the others around them or significant magical potential to cast a spell. Therefore a Collective magical caster is more powerful depending on the amount of people surrounding them, this is called soul essence casting. Another way collective magic is activated is when a powerful magical potential is around, this could be in the form of a person, an object or a location. With the appearance of a large potential, a collective casters potential also increases allowing them to cast. This is called soul tandem.
Collective Magic has a few major flaws that has essentially ran it into extinction in the realm. The first being that a caster is essentially useless if there are no people or magical potential in the area. Another is that the technique of soul essence casting is only as powerful as its user, if a collective caster is weak or unskilled they may only be able to connect to people within an arms length of them. The soul tandem technique also has it's flaws, if the caster is not capable of connecting such a large potential, they may only get a tenth of their usual capability. Collective Magic runs on such a different system to binding that both have their own separate set of spells, meaning that collective spells must be learnt. Collective Magical spell knowledge has become rare due to the popularity of the art and therefore is extremely difficult to learn or find a teacher.
