Hello students! I have seen many of your questions on what you can and cannot do with magic. So here is a quick and easy guide to the basics of magic for each type! We will start with Scab, Rust, Soil, Crystal, and then Parchment. At the end I will also answer some common questions I have seen in my asks box. So, if I do not answer your ask just know that it isn't because I haven't seen/read it!

The basics of magic are quiet simple. There are three tiers to power, but today I will only go over the first. The first tier is called...well, tier one. Quite simple and to the point, haha. When you become a tier one wizard, your soul becomes a little more connected to the weave of magic. In doing so, magic comes to you a bit easier than non-casters or semi-casters. You all currently are semi-casters. Wizards who have just begun their adventure! You all currently can feel a connection to magic, and maybe some of you can cast a spell, but as it stands you aren't at tier one quite yet. Don't worry, though! I am an excellent teacher :)

Now, let's begin our lesson!

This is a tier one Scab Wizard! Scabs are those who can make injuries better or worse. At tier one, a Scab Wizard can heal small cuts, bruises, and the common cold. On the other hand, they can prolong small injuries or illnesses on another person. If they overexert themselves, though, they will have spells of dizziness and might develop a temporary case of vertigo. Their connection to the weave allows them to take urgency over others bodies, however that connection can be disrupted if used on an unwilling character. If a Scab Wizard tries to harm or heal another person without their permission, it will drain them of their power more quickly than with a willing person.

This is a tier one Rust Wizard! Rusts are those who can control the elements depending on their zodiac sign (The element tied to that sign). At tier one, a Rust wizard can do things like light a small fire, push a gust of wind, move water equivalent to a cup, or levitate stones. Tier one Rust wizards can get quite crafty with their powers! Even at tier one, they are very useful to townsfolk. If they overexert themselves, though, they will become very tired and will have to rest for a while before using their powers again. Their connection to the weave allows them to connect themselves to the earth. In most cases, a Rust Wizard is a soul that came from an animal in their past lives. They are wise and connected to nature.

This is a tier one Soil Wizard! Soils are those who can commune with the departed, be it animal, human, or monster. At tier one, a Soil Wizard only has one line of communication with the dead. They can either hear, see, or speak to them. For example, one Soil Wizard may only be able to see the dead but not hear them whereas another can communicate verbally with the dead but cannot see them. It varies from wizard to wizard. If they overexert their connection they may develop temporary migraines. Their connection to the weave allows them connect themselves to the afterlife. They are the living that can see into the further. This power can be dangerous to themselves, though. If they were to commune with a dangerous spirit they could risk possession or death.

This is a tier one Crystal wizard! Crystal Wizards are those who can make illusionary spells and occasionally a good Crystal Wizard can cast charm spells. At tier one, a Crystal Wizard can create small visual hallucinations like a butterfly or a mouse. They can create small auditory hallucinations as well, like the sound of a knock. A lot of talented rogues end up having Crystal magic due to their distraction skills. If they overexert themselves they risk overstimulation and small hallucinations akin to their skills. Their connection to the weave allows them to project their thoughts outwards for others to experience. They can become a scary foe if they manage to fool someone else.

This is a tier one Parchment Wizard! Parchment Wizards are those who can manipulate the weave. At tier one, a Parchment Wizard can make magic items that anyone can use, which includes themselves. A Parchment Wizard at tier one can make magic items of low-to-medium durability/quality. They can wield more than one magic item at a time unlike other wizards. However, a Parchment Wizard of any tier will only be able to cast tier one magic. More options open up to them in later levels, though. In later levels they can make spell scrolls, Wizard Tomes, and other interesting things. For now at this tier, though, they can make magic items and attune to TWO magic items of any class. If they overexert themselves with any spells in the other types of magic, they will risk the ailments of those classes (Like a rusts tiredness or a scabs dizziness). If a Parchment Wizard at tier one attempts to attune to a third magic item, they will die.

...Parchment Wizards are very handy party members who have a multitude of talents and uses! :)

Now for some common questions I have seen:

Q: Can wizards multiclass into other types of magic?

A: Yes, however there is only an option to multiclass once you've reached your full potential. At that point you can either multiclass for an additional tier one or become a full mage in your original class.

Q: Do other classes get elemental powers via their zodiacs?

A: No, that is a Rust-only aspect.

Q: Has there ever been a wizard who has been every class at once?

A: There is a fabled Wizard with such power. The first and only Monster Wizard. Perhaps another time I shall tell you that fable if you are interested in hearing it!

I hope this clears things up! Thank you for your attention and time. Like always, my asks and messages are always open to questions or your awesome art. You can even tell me problems that you are having in your wizard lives. Oh, and before I go! I have a few talented friends who can teach you more about specific magic types. While I put together my potion lesson, they will take over the next lesson on magic. Vote below on which wizard you would like to learn from! Thank you. As always, it has been a pleasure.

Finally finished revising my outfit for @wizardraziw wizard schooling ! Im a parchment wizard who specializes in carving, and cant wait for more lessons :v

Also, some snail mail is heading towards the professor :o (check the asks later on, its not sent yet :p)

And a quick question, am I able to advertise my services (commissions) to fellow classmates who are in need of magical tools ?

[wizardraziw]

Hello teacher ! Im a parchment apprentice and wonder, what do you recommend starter parchment wizards to make ? Personally I specialize in carving, but what can others do ?

How adorable!!! You look absolutely winsome! I highly recommend making what is called a Wizards Tome. It is a spell book that can be used by a Parchment Wizard to cast spells. It can only hold three and you will need components to feed it depending on the spell, but it comes in handy! You would also need another kind of wizard to cast your desired spell into that book.

And to answer in specialty, it depends on the wizard! Some are better at crafting items from wood, others paint, others forge. Most often, though, Parchment Wizards will seek out supplies or sometimes use normal items given to them by a different wizard to use! Hope this helps :)

I'm curious, are there records of stronger wizards combining magic? Or maybe powerful Parchment wizards that cast two spells at once to combine them?

I'm excited for your first lesson!

Yes! I know of two high level wizards who are my close friends. Soot the Soil Wizard and Scout the Scab Wizard. In the past they were able to combine their magic to revive the dead. This took a tole on their vessels, though. They were both very ill for a long, long time. Thankfully now they are much better. :)

As for your Parchment Wizard question, yes and no. Yes, as in they can combine their tier one spells, which is covered in this lesson here. However they cannot do so at higher levels since they cannot learn higher level spells. A Parchment Wizard can still combine spells with other higher tier magic, theoretically, but I would recommend it against things that require a lot of magic. I don't wish to see people I care about fall ill again.

Thank you,

Mx. Newton.

Would it be possible, as a parchment wizard (and obviously your favorite /j), to make something big and possibly mechanical and imbue it with magic? Like an artificer? Could I make a pair of wings (not icarus style, I’m not good enough to be a master crafter like his dad) that are articulate but use magic to flap and control?

Also, do Parchment wizards need a spell-casting focus to enchant items? Do parchment wizards just starting out obtain one from a mentor?

Hmmm! Unfortunately I am not certain. I don't think that is something that has ever been attempted before. Magic items are used to channel a mages magic into something more controllable, but who knows? Anything is possible I suppose!

And no, they do not need a spell focus to make enchanted items. From Tier one they can start making items :)

Kind wishes,

Mx. Newton.
