(The Light, prophecy, emotions)
Blue Magic controls the emotions, summons shades and spirits, and includes fortelling the future.
Blue is color of the Light and safety also.
(woods, glades, animal world)
Brown Magic is the magic of the beasts of the animal world. It includes related to animal control and communication. Note the none of these spells give their animal subjects any unusual powers; controlled animals just follow the caster’s mental commands to the best of their abilities.
These spells work only on natural animals, not on intelligent being and they don’t work on the unnatural creations of the Shadow or  the Light.
Although Brown Magic is generally considered to be close to the earth and not easily misused, it was employed in the past by some Sorcerers of Escore to aid in the creation of some beasts which were unlike any created by Nature. Â These forms of Brown Magic are no longer known today, but some of the created beasts still live in Escore.
Even though the worst excesses of this form of magic are no longer practiced, Brown Magic still allows some room for misuse. Using any of these spells to cause deliberate harm to come to the summoned or controlled animal is generally considered wrongful. Many of the mages who study these spells will not ever use them in their hunting.
(healer’s craft, growing things)
Green Magic is the magic of the earth and of the Nature. It includes magic associated with food and growing things and some magic associated with the earth itself. Although Green Magic is not easily misused, it does include some powerful spells.
All of these spells are known to Witch of Estcarp and many are known to Wise Women of Estcarp and  High Hallack.
(lust, hate, fear, power)
Purple Magic controls the minds of others directly and it is always dangerous to use. Many Witches and Wise Women will have nothing to do with this magic and others approach it warily. Although all of these spells are known to the leaders of the Council of Estcarp, they would not normally teach the more powerful ones to any but their most faithful followers. Even if she knew the spell, no Witch of Estcarp would use enslave except in the direct defense of Estcarp and then only with the express permission of the Council.
Some of the Sorcerers  of ancient Escore studied Purple Magic extensively and they used much more powerful forms of these spells than are known today.
(mind magic, logic, philosophy)
Yellow Magic is the magic of sight, knowledge and illusion. Many of spells are well known by the Witches of Estcarp and they are often used by Wise Women and sorcerers as well.
Illusion spells affect different senses, but they are not real and they can do no damage, except possibly by fright.
The spells for sending and receiving thoughts are well known throughout the Witch World. Telepathy and its prerequisites are some of the spells most used by the Witches and anyone completing her training will probably know these spells. The Council of Estcarp habitually stations Witches trained in Telepathy at strategic locations throughout Estcarp to provide a quick and reliable means of communication. Â
Spells of sending and receiving thoughts lead to more powerful spells controlling the bodies and thoughts of others.
(self-confidence, strong desire, time and space travels )
If the desire is strong enough, it can affect physical object as well as the minds of others. Simple spells for moving physical objects are fairly common among mages in the Witch World, as are the spells for breaking and repairing physical objects.
The most powerful of these spells of Orange Magic are the ones which allow travel through space and time instantaneously. These spells can create Gates to other planets and to other dimensions. If the mage’s self-confidence and desire grow stronger than his ability, it is easy to open a Gate to a place from which he cannot return.  This was the fate of many of the most powerful Sorcerers of old Escore. These powerful spells of travel through space and time are no longer known in Escarp or in the High Hallack and are only known by a few of the Sorcerers in Escore and Arvon.
The spell for Open or Close Gate is not yet completely lost but is quite rare. The Witches of Estcarp and some of the other powerful mages have learned how to use the Gates left by the ancient ones, but they have no idea how to create one. And it should be remembered that , even with the Open Gate spell, the only way to see what is on the other side of the Gate is to pass through it and then it may be too late.
(pure power among spirits)
Violet Magic also include the magic for summoning spirits, demons and other named and unnamed beings; for animating creatures who once lived; and for creating creatures who never existed before. Most of these spells are no longer known except perhaps by a few Sorcerers remaining in Escore and most  Witches and Wide Women would never ever think of studying such things.
Violet Magic also includes the magic for detecting, analyzing, controlling and resisting spells, however. These spells are known and used by Witches, Wise Women and Sorcerers throughout the Witch World. Although most Witches and Wise Women would never consider, they would still study the means of protecting themselves from such.
(Power, health, physical strength, war)
Red Magic is used by Witches and Wise Women to restore strength and health. It is the primary study of many Wise Women who devote themselves to the art of healing. Some of them combine the medical skills, the healing spells of Red Magic and the use of healing herbs.
But there is also darker side to Red Magic. Its skills in the art of war can kill as well as heal. This Color also includes the spells for using one of the most volatile forces – fire. Like many form of magic, fire has two sides; it can be used to warm and to heal and it can be used to destroy.
Indigo Magic includes the magic of two of the basic elements – Air and Water.
Control of the four elements is fairly common magic throughout the Witch World and teachers for these spells can easily be found. Nearly any Witch or Wise Woman would be familiar with at least of these spells.
