Double Feature Pt. 2: Baota’s Battlemages
Before the current archmage took his seat at Scytheshadow College, the rules were much stricter about what kind of studies could be conducted in the college. Development of new ways had stagnated for decades due to adherence to traditions and old ways. Many magic users became disillusioned with the place.
One of these up-and-coming mages was Zhabor Ito, a half-elf whose work on developing new and better magical foci put him close to the Scytheshadow Staff quite often. As he studied the famed focus, Zhabor came to some ideas about how magic could be used in relation to a focus.
Noting that many magic users don’t employ a focus at all, Ito argued that it was the person’s connection to the focus that gave it its efficacy. At the time, this was a radical idea. A focus was a tool, not an extension of the wizard.
Disagreeing, Ito eventually took his studies and what few acolytes he had and left the college. They were on a boat in the middle of the bay when Baota himself appeared to them.
The god of channeling magic blessed Ito’s work and confirmed that he was absolutely correct. With this encouragement, Ito and his followers founded their own small community separate from the college to develop their new school of thought.
Eventually, this lead to Ito and his students developing arcane weapons, weapons that could channel unique spells through them to cater to the fighter’s existing style. These battlemages trained and honed their skills and drew in more, both from the college and from elsewhere, and their fame grew. To this day, they accept new students, who are then trained in the art of crafting their own weapon and imbuing it with a personal connection. They are some of the most fluid battlemages Muunfel has ever seen.
“When the new archmage took over, he invited us to return to the college. With no hard feelings, I told him that we had formed our own community and settlement. We need room for training, anyway.” - Zhabor Ito, Battlemage of Baota
Magic and the People Using It
(Going with the theme suggestion from @worldbuildingjune because I’m not sure what else to do for today oops)
Magic is one of the three energies of the universe, winding through almost everything. It is the energy responsible for the Tamkind, and it also helped produce the gods and the Fae. These three categories of beings interact with magic in a different way.
The Tam (explained in an earlier post) channel magic directly through their bodies, storing it within themselves until they need to put it to use.
The Fae tend to mix natural forces with magic, resulting in some very intricate or very destructive and widespread magics. They are the least predictable of the bunch, and the chaotic tendencies of Nature explains why there are so many varieties of Fae.
The gods have long-lasting magic. Because they come from Time, they endure longer than the others and their magic threads through the ages. They exist to help other things exist, and for that they need to pack a lot of power.
Other beings (elves, humans, etc) are able to use magic, but they never channel it directly. They need a focus and a lot of practice, and sometimes it doesn’t work the way they want to. The god Baota is the patron of people like this, people tapping into the energies of Magic despite having no direct connection to it.
Muunfel: The Creation Mythos
The world on which Muunfel resides holds a myth about the Three energies of the universe: Time, Nature, and Magic. Vayla, the goddess of time and steward to Time itself is the only being in all of existence who holds the full account of how the world came to be. This is what she has spoken:
