## Casting forms

Vocal: casting via speaking in the arcane language with intent to create a spell.

Somatic: weave of symbols and imagination together to create a spell.

Codespeak: control directing of natural forces to cast rigid but strong spells.

    each casting form has twelve levels of proficiency and your proficiency in one dictates if a spell is successfully cast or not. The more skill you get with a form the more you may learn a degree of skills in other areas. you can also gain abilities that only masters of the casting forms can learn and use. every three points in a form gives you a +1 modifier for spell casting and you start with six point in character creation you can spend on the three forms. you also gain point for a form by practicing casting in that form five times or three times if you don't use a training apparatus to cast the spell, but be aware you must be at a certain level of proficient with that form before you can attempt casting without a apparatus.

All Apparatus when use give a +2 to casting as they are made to make the process of casting magic easier.
