Its arcanum comes with a furious, positive energy, though also manifests through strong emotions like anger, fear, or grief. Sun magic has a dual nature: it can conjure spells of light, growth, nurturing, and transformation — or it can call upon fire, heat, and destruction. The Sun is associated with energy, teaching, truth, fury, warmth, honesty, intensity, charisma, leadership, optimism, revealing, and guiding light

The Moon is associated with illusion, manipulation, love, death, charm, reflection, privacy, appearances, depth, duality, and secrets

### The Earth

Earth magic draws on the power and energy within the land itself, embodying the enduring strength of stone and the vibrant energy of new life. This source is at its strongest deep underground or in the heart of a forest. Its arcanum is centered around resilience, fortitude, patience, and harmony with nature. Earth magic comes from two major domains: the stone, minerals, crystals, and gems of the land, as well as the flora and fauna of the living world. It is weaker at sea, though even pebbles hold a part of this source. The Earth is associated with strength, endurance, healing, stubbornness, growth, deep history, balance.

### The Ocean

Ocean magic draws on the depths of the oceans and tides, and its power connects through rivers and lakes that flow back to it. This source is at its strongest during high tide and inside bodies of water, and also strengthens during rainfall. Its arcanum is finding calm amongst constant change, understanding the innate qualities of water—transformation, fluidity, and adaptability. Besides water spells, it also includes ice spells, which are dynamic and forceful in nature, reaching everywhere and anywhere. While deserts and underground caverns do not provide ideal circumstances to cast Ocean magic, only a single drop of water is said to be needed to make use of the source. The Ocean is associated with flexibility, transformation, flow, surface-level vs depth, navigation, and awareness.

Creatures: Ocean Dragons, Leviathans

### The Stars

Star magic draws on the vast and timeless power of the cosmos. According to Rayla, Star magic might be the most powerful type of magic. Star magic is little understood, and the study of the Stars is made more difficult by the scarcity of magical creatures connected to them. It is unknown when this source is at its strongest. The Stars are associated with vision, truth, intelligence, otherworldly, reality-altering, timelessness, mystery, destiny, and wishes.

Creatures: Cosmic Elves, Star Dragons, Startouch Elves, Unicorns

### The Cosmos

Cosmic Magic draws on the vast and timeless power of the cosmos as The Stars and from the energy of the Moon. This magic is at its strongest at any time during the night. Strangely Magical Gems such as Moon Opals and Quasar Diamonds make the mages of this Primal Source, stronger than what is known. The Cosmos are associated with vision, truth, intelligence, illusion, manipulation, love, death, charm and secrets.
