Magic of Ten

The **Magic of Ten** refers to a system of magic coined by Victoire Wilona, who explored the boundaries of passive magic and eventually categorized everything possible within its bounds into ten different types of magic making up the Magic of Ten. The Magic of Ten is also related to the Five Elements and sorts the ten magic types by their corresponding elements.

## Alchemy

Alchemy corresponds to the element of Water and involves the transfiguration of one material into another through magical means. It’s tied to potions, but instead of creating liquids, digestible and topical treatments through alchemy, it usually involves materials like metals as well as other solids or gases.

## Artifice

Artifice corresponds to the element of Air and refers to the creation of objects or artifacts with any kind of magical properties. Often this involves the enchantment of already existing objects through willpower and intent, but in some cases, the actual creation of the object may also be involved in the process. However, artifacts is also about the correct usage of any pre-existing magical artifacts.

## Astrology

Astrology corresponds to the element of Aether and is connected to the universe, especially the sky and the study of celestial bodies such as stars, planets, natural satellites etc. and how they influence the people of Gwynlynd. Horoscopes are also connected to this area of magic.

## Beastology

Beastology corresponds to the element of Fire and teaches all about different animals and their role in nature and magic. Another big part of this magical area is the study of different magical creatures, their abilities and history as well as their relationship between each other and Gwynlyndians.

## Botany

Botany corresponds to the element of Earth and is all about different plants eg. herbs, flowers or trees but also spices etc. as well as their physical, medicinal and magical properties and usage. Special emphasis is put on how to care for the plants properly.

## Combat

Combat corresponds to the element of Fire and involves all kinds of physical activity such as sword fighting, fencing or archery, especially on how to use them to create balance in one’s soul and aura. Though less notable, another topic is the strategies behind physical combat and the peaceful handling of conflicts and arguments.

## Crystollogy

Crystollogy corresponds to the element of Air and teaches all about different minerals, especially crystals. Focus is on how to recognize different crystals as well as their magical and healing properties and different ways to use crystals.

## Divination

Divination corresponds to the element of Aether and covers topics like the second sight, fortune telling, predictions, prophecies and clairvoyance. An integral part of divination is also the recognition of different symbols and trusting your intuition.

## Floriography

Floriography corresponds to the element of Earth and refers to the language of flowers. Instead of learning about their physical, medicinal or magical properties, floriography is all about the messages and intents one can send and show through the choice of the right flowers.

## Potionry

Potionry corresponds to the element of Water and is all about the creation of different potions and similar tinctures by using different ingredients such as herbs, flowers or spices but also crystals or ingredients that come from deceased animals. The focus is, however, on what effects you can achieve using what instead of learning the properties of every single plant and ingredient.
