Magic in Eiroth
This thread is supposed to hold information about magic and it's history on Eiroth. If you have a suggestion or just wish to share your ideas, you are welcome to post!
I tried to make a Wikipedia format with it, that means underlined red stuff is missing information (you may post missing information in the Additions thread). The simply underlined stuff is information that need links, those I'll need to add myself.

Magic Index Arcane Fel Holy/Light Necromancy Shamanism Celest Druidism Voodoo Arcane Arcane Magic is a mysterious magic type known for creating things out of thin air. It is used mostly by High Elves. In history... It is unknown exactly when the powers of the Arcane magic were discovered. Story tends to point to the High Men, who were well known for being superior to the Lesser Men. Although Men are known for being driven insane, it was believed that High Men could control the Arcane better than anyone. This theory is usually debated due to the Legacy of the High Elves (who became a legend around year 160). The theory indicates that High Elves were the original users of Arcane. First Season: Myths of Faith During Myths of Faith, the First Season of the theme, the High Elves were identified as the only regular users of Arcane, but aside from that, the Foras Cult of Magic, led by Eligos Flameseeker, recruited sorcerers of various races from many places of Laerdon. These races included High Elves, Men, and Earth Elves. Marie Antoinette of the Silvercrest Family also used this type of magic, taught to her by Xingdao Fan. Ever since then, there are rumors that the Silvercrest family are direct descendants of the High Men. Characteristics... Arcane magic consists in creating things out of thin air. The elements that are most associated to this kind of magic are Fire and Ice. Arcane magic's might have an unlimited amount of capabilities: the simple fact that it allows the creation of things out of nothing make Arcane the most mysterious genre of powers in history. While other genres need something touchable to be used on, arcane supposedly allows the user to cast forth anything. Arcane is known for driving Men insane or causing instant death after attempting to use it. The cause was never found, the man's face turns like if blood had started to run faster. Other symptoms include bleeding from the ears or sudden violence. Fel Fel magic is the demonic power used mostly by Demoîns. It is a type of corrupted Arcane magic. If Arcane is addictive and suspicious, the same or more can be said about Fel magic. Rebel Dark Elves that tried Fel magic described it as a stunning and euphoric experience (the Fel theory). Fel magic's power relies on the spellcaster's connection to the Devil. It is the Devil who empowers the caster, and through him, unleashes it's power. The Fel magic manifests itself as a green or red light power. There are also rumors that the use of Fel magic lures Demoîns, most likely due to the fact that they become stronger by consuming Fel energy. Fel magic can only be used with the desire to do Evil. Holy/Light Magic Holy/Light Magic a type of magic used mostly by Paladins. ~WIP Necromancy Necromancy is a dark genre of magic used to raise the dead under the caster's mind-control. In history... Necromancy was used by the Un'Oorg, under the control of the Overmind. As the name suggests, the Overmind had ultimate control over the entire races of the faction.

~WIP. Please help completing by posting in this thread.

Necromancy: Necromancy is a sub-arcane type of magic. Although there are multiple classes of arcane necromancy is often looked as one of its kind by having many special characteristics.
Many creatures think as necromancy as an opposite to the holy/light kind of magic. This however is no more than a rumour. Although holy magic is effective against undead the true opposite to holy magic is fel magic. Also many believe necromancy’s ultimate purpose is to control the dark energies and dark minions trough it. This is also false. It can also be used to prolong one's lifespawn and allows the manipulation of positive energy. Furthermore it can also be used to mutate diferent creatures being the degree and eficence of this mutation directly proporcional toones ability's.
The Dark Elves were the first ones that used necromancy and are also the most skilled in it. Necromancy was created as an important subclass of arcane magic not to control any kind of creature. Necromancy’s true purpose is to control an elementaless form of energy. This would prove to be deadly effective since elements have limitations and a non-elemental spell would have no possible defence. The first try in such an attempt was the dark energy. This energy although very similar to fel is provinient from the netherworld instead of demôins themselves. The netherworld is a paralell world of Eiroth where onlya few have been. Its a world where magic is created almost spontaneoustly. The netherworld is currently most under control of demôins and such explains the tainting in it. Many uses of the dark magic are only possible because it is drawn by encantations from the netherworld. Although it is tainted (and that is probably the reason why holy magic is effective against it), it is still a reliable source of magic that doesn’t corrupt the user as long as he is willing to restrain the flow of this magic. Most however succumb to their hunger for power and stop at this stage in their study of necromancy making corpse raising and dark energy manipulation the most common use of this kind of magic. Dark energy manipulation is also quite popular since in controlling minions it is not strictly necessary to create magic out of thin air since they could use corpses that had energy in themselves and worked like a container to the magic.
The second wave-form created was positive energy. Although the name might suggest it has the same source as holy light it is nothing more than the negation of the dark energy. However this is a very advanced technique because the negation of one magic’s nature proves truly exhausting for the user. There is not a known defence for this kind of magic however, since it the negation of the dark waves it is possible that it is flawed by fel magic like dark is flawed by holy. There were only very few mages capable of doing so not only because of the skill required, but also because many would had already let the dark energies corrupt both their body and their mind.
According to the Dark Elven theory the truth non-elemental magic would be a combination of both this energies. However there is no mage that ever survived such an attempt.
