Magic

**Magic** is one of the three ways a fae can be powerful, in addition to innate ability and dra'ocht. Pia has explained that most fae have some capacity for magic, although the level of ability varies, and while this ability can be trained, not all fae want to.

## The School of the Staff

True Mages are rare, and earn the designation through training at the School of the Staff. The School is open to both alignments, and the School considers itself 'above the matters of the Unseelie and Seelie Kingdoms.' According to legend, the thirteen Deans and Principals constantly stream a steady, powerful magic to the School of the Staff to even keep it in the air. Should the Thirteen fragment, the palace will fall and the school will fail.

If a fae with magic goes to the School of the Staff, or apprenticed with a Mage, the School would test which of the pared down 37 magic branches the fae excelled at or had no natural gifts for.

Much of Mage training involves the lifelong suppression of one's magical abilities, and 'learning the right moments to unleash it'.

Davix revealed that he and Olphix intentionally made Mages untrusting towards other Mages, purposefully weakening them to keep them less powerful than the twins, as blending magic requires intimacy and makes a magic-user stronger.

## Notable Mages

* Davix
* Fluri the Mouse-Maiden
* Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden
* King Oengus Og
* Old Pete
* Olphix
* Taronis
* The Ratcatcher of Hameln
* The Raven Prince

## Types of Magic

Davix stated that there are 37 known branches of magic, but that they can be pared down to 12 or 13:

#### Amplification

* Innate to dryads and possibly involves their ability to help trees and plants grow faster.

#### Bonding

* It's possible this refers to linking magic.
	+ Examples
		- Olphix linked his magic to the An Fnwy curse
		- Davix stated that he and Mosk Manytrees are linked: when Mosk killed Davix, it linked Mosk's heartsong with Davix's magic to create the ice plague.
* It's possible this refers to blending magic, as well. Davix noted that blending magic is intimate and not difficult. Being blood-related to someone 'encourages' strong magic through blending, but it's not necessarily the sole or primary reason for strength.
	+ Examples
		- Davix and Olphix blended their magic together.
		- Dragons blended their magic 'all the time.'
		- Mosk and Eran blended their magic together by making a glyph of growth together, resulting in a mass of fire poppies.
		- Mosk and Julvia blended their magic together for her embroidery and weaving magic.
		- Mosk and Gwyn blended their magic to make a charm that helps the fleshfruit grow fruit more easily'.

#### Consumption

* The 'magical ability to take and eat the ether of the magic of others. Sometimes, perfectly, doing so permanently.'
	+ Examples
		- Olphix has it.
		- Davix and Olphix gave it to the Nightingale.
		- Mosk can take the magic of others, such as when he took Davix's magic from the ice plague, or used leftover magic to defend himself from Olphix.

#### Elemental magic

* Examples:
	+ Albion can create water cyclones and manipulate seawater.
	+ Davix specialized in ice magic.
	+ Ifir and Eran can both create fire-based attacks: Ifir could throw fireballs at enemies that melt metal.
	+ Mosk can create and nourish plants, and create and manipulate wood and other plants as weapons.
	+ Gulvi Dubna Vajat can manipulate wind to create sound barriers.
	+ Olphix specializes in fire magic.
	+ Ondine is a water elemental, but other than being able to manipulate water a little, it's unclear what her powerset is.
	+ Taronis has light-based magic.

#### Healing

* **Meridian work**: '[P]ressure point combat and healing, along with the blocking and release of powers and abilities by manipulating those pressure points'.
	+ Examples of fae with this skill:
		- Augus Each Uisge (who learned from Fluri)
		- Fenwrel
		- Fluri
* **Healer examples**:
	+ Aleutia the Rat-Maiden: Aleutia can use her abilities to scan or diagnose people, which she used on Gwyn, Ifir, and Mikkel, and she has a great deal of training in various medical fields.
	+ Augus never received formal training with herbs, but he has immense herblore that he uses for healing. He also uses meridians to aid in physical therapy and diagnose health problems.
	+ Fenwrel is trusted by Aleutia to assist with healing, and has some knowledge of meridians and mental health recovery.
	+ Mosk
	+ Pazhna was trained in herbalism for healing and could use human technology to augment her skills.
	+ Terho the Mouse-Lad attained the rank of half-healer, and was skilled in treating illnesses that rarely affect fae. He last trained under his Healer, who was unnamed, and their specialty or skills unknown.

#### Illusion

* The ability to hide something or someone's true appearance.
	+ Fenwrel has a great skill for casting illusions, and used it to hide mines from even Davix during Albion's war with the Unseelie Court.
	+ A bandit magic-user created a glimmering cage to contain Gwyn, though he broke it.
	+ Oengus seemed to possess this skill to some extent (which makes sense, since he trained Fenwrel), like when he created birds that flew at Gwyn, but didn't harm him.
	+ The Raven Prince used illusory birds to summon residents of the Mantissa to himself when he left.
	+ Mosk can make himself invisible to others, partially out of manipulating others' perception.
* Astral projection: Projecting a version of yourself into another location.
	+ Examples:
		- Olphix can project a shade of himself to other locations, and namely used this to deal with Mosk in Oengus' Tower, and to attempt to claim his debt from Ash Glashtyn.
		- Davix seems to have this skill a little, when he materialized as a shade only visible to Mosk on the Mantissa.
		- The Raven Prince seems to have some ability to do this, for when he worked through Gwyn ap Nudd to follow Mosk into the icy dream realm, and appeared as a spectral stag.
* Communicating mind to mind or farspeaking.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel used magic to communicate directly with Gwyn from a distance during combat.
		- Oengus used magic to break through Olphix's spell that barred communication magic, so that he could communicate with the Unseelie Court.

#### Journey-making: Dreamwalking, Portals, and Teleportation

* **Dreamwalking**: Mosk used this ability to enter the mysterious icy realm where the remains of Davix reside, and to visit Gwyn's mind to check on him. Mosk can create doors to return to our realm, and dragged Davix back with him when Davix briefly escapes the icy realm.
* **Portals**: The creation of portals for teleporting from location to location. This is a difficult skill to master, and only Mages are known to do it. It is also one of the only known remaining forms of magical transportation from one location to another for the duration of Olphix's spell, when he cut off teleportation abilities.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel creates portals often, including when she made one to transport herself, Gulvi, Ash, and Julvia Dubna Vajat to Oengus' Tower.
		- Oengus created a portal to allow his guests to escape the ice plague.
		- Although Gwyn lacks training to create or close portals, he managed to use the power of transforming the Unseelie Court to close the Nightingale's portal from the underworlds into the Unseelie Court.
* **Teleportation**
	+ As most fae can do this innately, with training, and the only magical teleportation we've seen in the canon was Olphix using his wand to send Eran and Mosk halfway to the Unseelie Court without the use of a portal, it's unclear what this refers to.

#### Linguistics and Storyweaving

* The ability to remove someone else's ability to speak.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel has some form of the ability, as Fluri trained with the Raven Prince on this. Fenwrel used it on Eran to silence him temporarily.
		- Gwyn stated that Olphix has this ability.
		- The Raven Prince has a particular penchant for this, even outside of his consuming languages for food.
* Memory manipulation: The modification, removal, or retrieval of someone else's memory.
	+ Examples:
		- Mosk can take memories back.
		- The Raven Prince can remove memories.

#### Quelling

* 'The ability to nullify or mute the magic or abilities of others. At its most profound, it is the nullification of life itself.'
	+ Examples:
		- Taronis
		- Davix was able to suppress Gwyn's light in the Bridge when Davix destroyed the Old Lore, and again later, during combat, so that Gwyn couldn't access it.
		- Fenwrel used a geas to mute Eran's fire.
		- Mosk can turn off his own magic.

#### Sigils and crafting

* Sigils Examples:
	+ Eran used this on Mosk by drawing glyphs on Mosk's skin and imbuing them with his magic. Eran also drew protection sigils on Mosk's bed on the Mantissa.
* Charms: The use of magic to enchant some small object, which can be carried or placed on something or someone.
	+ Examples:
		- Everfire appears to be some form of charm creation, as Eran has to enchant a stone for it. Everfire can warm hands and serve as a light source, and is particularly valuable.
		- Fenwrel created a charm of increase that would help the Unseelie Court treasury grow if placed there.
		- Gwyn demonstrates a capacity for charm creation, though the Raven Prince called it crude, as Gwyn is untrained and the Raven Prince is judgmental. Gwyn created hagstones to allow him to communicate with Augus remotely, even during combat. He also created a charm to lull humans.
		- The Raven Prince crafted several charms for other fae, including pendants for Mosk and Augus, as well as a charm to protect Augus' lake from intruders. He also created a charm that Augus used to track the Raven Prince while the latter was mindless in his raven form.
		- Julvia can add charms to her weaving and embroidery.

* Enchantment: Imbuing something with particular power. Linked to charm creation, but can be used on larger/more powerful objects.
	+ Examples:
		- The creation of a Mage's Staff. Davix, Fenwrel, Oengus, Olphix, the Ratcatcher, and the Raven Prince have all used some type of staff, wand, or musical instrument for this. The item is used to aid in casting magic.
		- The creation of a Mage's Motley. The Motley itself was originally the design and cultural heritage of vench, who have not appeared in canon. The robes are a personal creation, with the colors meaning different things for each vench. In ages past, a vench went to the School of the Staff to become a Mage, and there allowed others to see how they made their robes, which is where the School took the idea. It's unclear what the fate of the vench were, or if the School changed the known history of the Motley to be an invention of the School, and persecuted the vench for wearing 'false motleys' to cover it up. Davix stated that in ages past, the process took centuries, and the garments (or at least Davix's) seem to offer some kind of protection. The Ratcatcher used something in his Motley to trap Mosk's astral self. Davix stated that in recent years, the process takes decades, and that only a Master Mage can destroy a motley.
		- Elfshot, which Prince Vane only knew as 'elf magic': 'All the legends said that if a person was shot with elfshot, the tip of the arrow would break away immediately, falling even as the person who was shot fell – paralysed. No cure for the paralysis except to find the exact same arrow tip in a mess of dirt and battlefield and touch it to the place where the person was shot.'
		- Gwyn's Glasera armor
		- The collar Gwyn used on Augus during the Display at the Seelie Court was to designed for use on shapeshifters: 'enchanted to enlarge or shrink depending on how you appear'.
* Magelight: The creation of powerful, unending light source, that is seemingly a highly sought after item, as Fenwrel offered it to Gwyn in exchange for helping her family. Fenwrel is very skilled at it.
	+ Examples:
		- Oengus' Tower is filled with Magelight-filled torches.
		- The Manytrees family home also used magelight, as their house would have burned up otherwise.
* Other crafting:
	+ Fith-fath or effigy: wherein someone can store memories and experiences
	+ Faeth fiadha: a shroud to conceal someone that becomes that person

#### Soul-magic

* Soul-bonds, possession, depossession (exorcism), soul-strengthening, soul-weakening
* Dragon Magic (can also be elemental magic, linguistics, or journeymaking)
	+ It's unclear what time magic involves, but the Nain Rouge mentioned that the dragons had this skill, which Olphix and Davix stole.

* Heartsong attack and removal: A heinous form of magic (as opposed to Augus' therapy to destroy a heartsong and encourage a new one to grow) wherein a powerful magic user forcibly attacks and removes a heartsong entirely. Davix and Olphix are the only known Mages to have successfully done this, and have done so multiple times, including to the Raven Prince, an unknown seventh son of a seventh son, and Mosk. Mosk once attacked Olphix's heartsong. The act deeply harms a fae, and a completed removal makes their energy alarming to other fae. This is also a skill the dragons had.

#### Transmogrification and shapeshifting

* Changing something into something else. The Raven Prince called it golden alchemy.
	+ Examples:
		- Davix and Olphix destroyed the dragons, and turned what was left into the Old Lore.
		- When the Raven Prince crushed a leaf of golden mistletoe and turned it into an illusory golden butterfly, he called it illusion or transmogrification.
		- Fae can create homes for themselves using a wellspring of magic. Monarchs of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts have similar abilities on a vastly enhanced scale. 'The Unseelie and Seelie Courts could be completely changed in appearance once per reign. The wellspring of transformative magic was profound, only responded to regnancy, and no one knew where it came from. Only that it could be used to transmogrify a giant section of land, call stone, tile, art, paint and furniture into existence, grow trees and shrubs within hours and even minutes, call water, banish whatever was unnecessary. It was the type of metamorphic energy that some fae Mages trained to have, and even then, by comparison, they only had a drop of it.'

## Miscellaneous Magic

#### Counter-charms

* The ability to reverse or fight another magic user's spell.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel stated she is skilled at this, and demonstrated it when she held off Davix's spell to suppress Gwyn's magic.
		- Mosk has some skill in redirecting the spells of others, and has used it on Davix, Olphix, the Ratcatcher, and the Raven Prince.
		- After Gwyn joined the Unseelie Court, they hired a Mage to break the rest of the tracking spell the Seelie Court had placed on him.

#### Curses and Curse-breaking

* A magical working forced on someone/something to make them suffer in some way.
	+ Examples:
		- The An Fnwy curse: At some point, a member of the An Fnwy family slighted Davix, which angered Olphix so much that he forced a curse into one of their family members and married it to his own magic. The curse traveled down through the generations and ended with Crielle or Gwyn.
		- Caer Ibormeith was cursed so that she could only change into a human once a year, on Samhain. The curse was so powerful that even Oengus couldn't break it.
		- The Blight: Augus poisoned waterways to destroy them, using pieces of his very being, to the point that only he could heal those places.
		- Geroid was cursed to remain under Lough Gur for seven years at a time, after which, he could briefly emerge.
		- The linchetti placed a curse on Munaciello so that he was unable to get drunk.

#### Geas (and Compulsions)

* A command that forces someone to do something or stops them from doing something. They can be resisted, but the training is incredibly difficult. Augus was shocked that Gwyn had this training so young, and Ifir planned to wait another 70-80 years after Eran came of age to train him in resisting them.
	+ Examples:
		- Olphix placed a geas on Mosk to see the worst memories of others and regurgitate them verbally when asked about what Olphix and Davix did to him. He and Davix also placed many geas on the entire fae realm, and other realms, including gods, to forget the dragons, and to be forbidden from speaking of what the Mages did.
		- Fenwrel used a geas on Eran to mute his fire, which would require him to sacrifice himself for Mosk to break, and made him feel some of Mosk's physical pain. Eran ultimately broke it by sacrificing himself to the Miskatin so Mosk could escape. Fenwrel can also use compulsions, as she does on Augus (versus Augus' compulsions, which are innate, as he has no magic).

#### Harcraft

* Generalized term for magic that does not come naturally to the user, and therefore is more complicated to learn.
	+ Examples:
		- Mosk's healing magic, which he struggles to use. Davix noted that this is unusual for a dryad.

#### Imprisonment and Unlocking

* Using magic to lock someone or something away.
	+ Examples:
		- A band of Mages came together to imprison the Nightingale twice in the underworlds, using a magical birdcage and hundreds of magical doors.

#### Luck Spells

* A spell that can give the bearer some form of luck.
	+ Examples:
		- The Gancanagh's blessing - when he kisses someone - seems to be some form of this, though it's unclear what the luck is for.

#### Magic Detection

* The ability to see the magic others possess, or detect spells.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel used this to check Mosk and Eran for spells that were placed on them, and to try and understand what curse Mosk was dealing with.
		- Mosk demonstrated this when he can see the colors and power levels of other fae.

#### Power Control

* The ability to manipulate someone else's magic or powers.
	+ The Raven Prince used Mosk's healing to save Ash's life.

#### Protection Spells/Wards

* A spell to grant protection, that can be placed on a person, item, or location.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel detected a number of protective spells that Eran's parents placed on him. Eran noted that he knew they'd placed them on his sisters, as well.
		- The caretaker of a building/home/domain also has some power to ward that location from intruders.
		- The Red Blessing, passed on to Gwyn by the dragons trapped in the Old Lore in the Bridge, though it's unclear what it does. Gwyn passed it to Kabiri.

#### Shadow Manipulation

* The Nain Rouge has some ability to manipulate shadows.

#### Sound Barriers/Silencing an area

* The ability to wrap a person or group in a kind of barrier to blocks others from hearing what the people inside are saying.
	+ Examples:
		- Davix used this to mute the conversations Albion has with his Inner Court at the Coalition of the Classless.
		- Gulvi used her wind manipulation to block others from overhearing Gwyn and his Inner Court when they met with Albion after Gwyn's coronation.

#### Tracking Spells

* Placing a spell on someone/something else to track them.
	+ Examples:
		- Fenwrel placed one on Augus and another on Gulvi Dubna Vajat.
		- It seems like Olphix has some form of this on Mosk and Ash.

#### Transference

* The ability to transfer an ability to someone else.
	+ Examples:
		- Tigbalan is able to transfer magical abilities to others, such as when he gave invisibility to Gwyn. It's unclear how much training or magical ability, if any, this requires.

## Old Lore

Old Lore is 'a unique magic, a unique language' that is the result of Olphix and Davix destroying dragons and transforming them into books. The Old Lore was considered to be too dangerous for Mages to have access to it, so it was locked away in a Bridge between the Courts. When Gwyn and others started making too much use of the Old Lore, particularly with the Soulbond, Davix destroyed the Old Lore. Taronis had one in his possession in the School of The Staff. Gwyn noted that Old Lore calls to each other. Davix noted, ‘Old lore can break with old lore'.

Examples of Old Lore:

* Aithwick: a small crystal placed on Gwyn's rib, to hide his true alignment.
* Soulbond: a mark that joins the lives of Augus Each Uisge and Ash Glashtyn. It is the mark of a dragon. When Ash first revealed it, as yet unactivated, it appeared as two objects: 'woven filaments of light, both a pale, glowing turquoise. It was as though strands of shimmering hair had been tangled together as two hollow orbs. Except that the hair reflected and glimmered, hummed.' Fully activated, the marks on Ash and Augus are dark, with blue-green light on them. Gwyn noted that the Soulbond was forbidden even when Old Lore wasn't banned.

## Miscellaneous Magical Artefacts/Items of particular power

* The scroll that the Raven Prince gave to Oengus, which hung in Oengus' tower. The Gancanagh and Eran couldn't remember what it said when not staring at it.
* Creiddylad: the enchanted and sentient sword that Gwyn fought Gwyther ap Griedawl for, and which led to the events of *Deeper into the Woods*. It contains the spirit of a woman.
* The Grimswold: Gwyn said that the Grimswold is sacred and Efnisien ap Wledig implied it can grant near-invulnerability.
* Artificial soldiers: Gwyn once 'commissioned a Mage to create artificial soldiers that could be called forth from three magical spheres. They had cost a small fortune', and he used them when he ran the Seelie Court. 'They had been programmed with strategy and different fighting techniques, could wield many different weapons, and they were constructed to adapt and grow in strength as Gwyn did.'
* *Ingrit* is a metal that is particularly dangerous to fae, can 'permanently cut through bone', and can forever damage the integrity of bone, even with healing, for fae at monarch status. It slows down healing. It can also be used to damage particularly powerful materials, such as Old Lore. It is very 'rare, and hard to temper into anything useable.'
