Tavian Exdecim · practiced magic
Three ways to
persuade reality.
Diagnose what does not belong. Recover what the world remembers. Restore what can still be made coherent.
The 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.

- Repeated use within known limits
- Ritual
- Slower, safer, more exact
- Backlash
- Resistance turns failure wild
The ordered practice
Diagnosis. Memory. Repair.
The three spells are strongest as a sequence, each reducing the uncertainty of the next without eliminating its cost.
