Pagan magic



Magic on Pagan works differently than on Britannia. It is based on the elemental philosophy of the Pagans' beliefs. Here it is divided into five different schools, each with its own rules, spells, reagents and properties. This article gives a deeper insight into the mechanics of magic on this world.

The Five Schools of Magic


For a list of all spells, see Pagan Spells.

Necromancy
Necromancy is the magic of Earth and the Titan Lithos, and deals with spells of the dead.

Tempestry
Tempestry is the magic of Water and the Titan Hydros, and is based on water and weather effects.

Theurgy
Theurgy is the magic of Air and the Titan Stratos, and is loosely based on air and healing.

Sorcery
Sorcery is the magic of Fire and the Titan Pyros, and its spells are almost all dedicated to destruction.

Thaumaturgy
Thaumaturgy is the the magic of the Ether itself. Its spells were derived entirely by Mythran from the other schools of magic.

Reagents
Three of the schools of magic in Pagan need to use reagents to access their magic. These are Necromancy, Sorcery and Thaumaturgy. The first two only use the reagents of their own school, while the third uses all types of reagents, and adds some of its own.

The Reagents of Necromancy
(Note: These reagents can be found in the Catacombs, Carthax Lake and Stone Cove.)

The Reagents of Sorcery
(Note: These reagents can only be found in the Daemon's Crag.)

The Reagents of Thaumaturgy
(Note: Only Mythran sells these reagents.)

The Words of Power
As in Britannia and Serpent Isle, these Words of Power have to be used to activate a spell. They are needed for every school, except Tempestry, and are therefore universal. They are:

Trivia
Note that in order to use the spells, the Avatar first has to learn about them, in order to set the appropriate flags.


 * For Necromancy, one has to read the books about the spells and Lothian's scoll in the Cemetery, as well as learn the remaining ones from the Ancient Necromancers, in order to create and use them.
 * For Theurgy, one has to read the books on Argentrock Isle in order to be in the know about the spells and which foci can be made from silver ore. The sole exception is Air Walk, as this is taught by Stratos.
 * For Sorcery, the books in the library of Daemon's Crag and Malchir's room have to be read in order to be able to create and use said spells.
 * For Thaumaturgy, Mythran selling the spellbook is already enough to use the spell - of course with the needed reagents.
