BASICS

» Mages and creatures similar to them can use their powers with the help of spells. Some of them are long and complicated - like exorcism in Latin - and some of them are short and simple, but carry a great message if combined with magic. 

» One-word spells are very popular in the magic world, since they're fairly easy to use and remember. It's possible to create a new spell by using the right word. 

» All languages can be used for such spells.

“A fháil dó,” you whisper, and the ash seems to shiver. It moves towards a certain spot on the city map and stops, forming a thin, black circle around an area on the outskirts of the town.
