Magic
The source of all magic in The Six Realms is Dragons.
Spells are cast by:
- intuiting the essense of the relevant Dragon
- tapping into the appropriate elements using associated materials
- invoking the power using the Old Language
Air Magic
Magical Source: The Nimbus Volare or Cloud Dragon
Spells
Volito Demeo
Stage 1: Reducing weight or slowing a fall
Ingredients:
- Cloud Dragon breath, captured in a glass phial
Incantation:
“Volito demeo.”
Casting the spell:
You uncork your phial of Cloud Dragon breath and waft it around in the complex gesture you have taken years to master, and say out loud, “Volito Demeo.”
Earth Magic
Source: The Terra Viventium or Earth Dragon
Spells
Augmentum Floreo
The Plant Growth Spell.
Stage 1: Causing plants to quickly grow beyong their regular size
Ingredients:
- The very tip of a root from a Magnus Auxio plant, gathered on an intensely sunny spring day
- Moss from the back of an Earth Dragon
Incantation:
“Augmentum floreo.”
Casting the spell:
Crush the Magnus Auxio Root Tip in your hands and cover them with the sap. Then take a pinch of Terra Viventium Moss and do the same. With this fluid coating your hands, reach towards the vines and speak the words. “Augmentum Floreo!”
Fire Magic
Source: Incendium Volitans or Fire Dragon
These Dragons have vanished from The Six Realms. The professors of the Arcane Academy have only a dwindling supply of spell ingredients.
Spells
Spiritum Ignis
The Fire Breath Spell.
Stage 1: Causing a light warm breeze.
Ingredients:
- Fire Dragon breath, captured in a glass phial
- A petal from a Fire Plant
Charm:
“Da mitivirtutem draconis.”
Casting the Spell:
You open the Phial, drop in the Petal and then reseal it, saying “Concorporo,” to bind the ingredients. The Phial warms in your hand. You then uncork it again and watch as the Breath floats aimlessly around you. Then you begin the complex gestures to weave the Breath around you and/or whoever you are trying to warm up.
Water Magic
Source: Mare Dominus or Water Dragon
Ice Magic
Source: Crystallo Anguis or Crystal Dragon
Spells
Aegis
The Fire Protective Umbrella Spell.
Stage 1: Causing a protective dome over your head, strong enough to repel small rocks but no more.
Ingredients:
- A Flos Praesidium or Protection Flower
Incantation:
“Aegis.”
Casting the Spell:
You hold the flower over your head and then call out the incantation. The flower then flies up onto the air, its petals spreading out to form a shimmering, crystalline looking dome.
Notes:
- You learned this spell in the Arcane Academy?
- The Flos Praesidium is incredibly rare?
- Queen Annika gives you a single flower?
- It’s currently possible to complete the chapters in Kryokinya without using up the Flos Praesidium, so, in later chapters, writers must offer this spell as an option anywhere it makes sense (even if it ultimately fails), or explain to the player why it’s not a good option?
