The party’s magic · a living codex
Ways to
persuade reality.
Tavian’s ordered rituals. Ert’s skin of stone. A defense against possession recovered too late for Wellfast—and still untested.
Tavian’s working doctrine
Magic is not spent.
It is risked.
Tavian’s memorized spells can be used repeatedly when time, knowledge, and conditions favor him. Rituals exchange speed and resources for reliability. Reckless speed, resistance, distance, or inadequate understanding do not merely stop the magic—they invite consequences.
- Practice
- Repeated use within known limits
- Ritual
- Slower, safer, more exact
- Backlash
- Resistance turns failure wild
Known magic & recovered lore
Practice meets consequence.
Tavian’s three approved spells are joined by the August 26 ruling for Stone Skin and an untested protective scroll now held by Rurik. Observed effects and unresolved mechanics remain distinct.
