casting with different wands

handheld wands

Using magic with a wand is like breathing, like drawing in air then letting it out a second later. It comes naturally. Tracing the magical symbols in the air is like impressing upon the atmosphere your will, and it agrees to follow your call. Traditionally they are made of wood, and often certain types of wood resonate with certain types of wizards. Wands are popular with younger and novice magic users because of their ease and agreeability

staffs

Staffs are connected to the environment, even more so than wands. As a longer instrument of power, they are able to withstand the call of a greater force of magic. Instead of tracing magical symbols in the air, one calls upon the natural source by gesturing with the staff, envisioning the symbols of magic in their minds. Different types of magic may require different gestures, requiring more than the movement of just a wrist. The staff is an instrument of magic, versatile in use but harder to master. Still, similar to wands, they call upon the magic in the atmosphere to impress upon it the caster’s will, and the magic agrees to follow your call. Staffs are popular among students with a more complex understanding of their magic, ones that require less focus on the technicalities of their spells.

swords

Swords focus magic into the user, sharp like the physical blade. Using a sword as an instrument of magic requires precision and an intense mastery only achieved by hours upon hours of practice and dedication. The sword is an extension of your body and an extension of your magic, extending your will upon the physical plane in a way only you are capable of directing. Swords are double-edged, and must be used carefully, lest the user be harmed by their own magic or their blade. Swords are popular amongst those who practice their magic with discipline, and those who have impeccable control over their wants and desires, and therefore have control over their magic.

bows

Bows, similar to swords, are precise and diverse, though perhaps less powerful. The bow is characterized by the precision and focus required to wield a sword, yet using a bow feels as natural as using a wand due to its composition of wood and its connection to the surrounding atmosphere. Channeling magic through a bow requires the mental envisioning of arcane symbols, the spell then executed by the arrow shot through the symbols. The bow is a difficult weapon to master as it requires a complete understanding of how to combine the arcane and physical aspects of magic. They require intense focus and a clear image of what the caster wants to be carried out. Bows are popular amongst those who prefer a balanced approach to their magic, a jack of all trades of sorts, and also those who are decisive in their dreams. 

“arcane focuses” (wands that aren’t a typical weapon, such as the lamp, flute, eyeglass, relics, etc.)

Arcane focuses encompass all unorthodox instruments of magic. They are tailored to the user’s tastes, habits, and magic, and they generally embody something of value to the caster. They require emotional attachment to use, and often wizards find themselves channeling specific emotions to cast different spells. Similar to a wand or staff, arcane focuses draw from the natural magic surrounding them, and they are able to draw in the magic and shape it to the wizard’s intended spells. Arcane focuses require casters to be in tune with their emotions and require an acute awareness of their relationship to other beings in the world. Arcane focuses are popular with those who have mastered the textbook magic styles and have a desire to continue expermenting.

Can you imagine what it must be like to be the young wizard's classmate

Imagine one day you get a new student in your class, but they're not from around town. In fact, they're not even from this planet. They came from a distant planet called "Urth" you've never even heard of before.

They look like you, they sound like you, but there's something about the way they act that's undeniably alien. They sit next to you and study just like you would, but you just can't shake the weird feeling of sitting next to an alien in class.

What's even weirder is how freakishly good at magic they are. Within the first few weeks of their arrival, they've mastered magical techniques that have taken you a year to full get a grip on. Charms, wards, all of it. And they're even more surprised by this than you are, because the planet they're from doesn't even believe in magic.

You hear rumors about this new student across Ravenwood. Rumors about how planet Urth is super technologically advanced. They've got flying machines that can travel to the other side of the planet in mere hours. Rumors about how the people of Urth have concocted potions that make them immune to almost all disease. Rumors about how the people of Urth possess almost superhuman strength and speed to make up for their lack of magic.

You can't tell what's truth or fabrication when it comes to this alien student. You're honestly a little afraid of them, being an alien being that looks and acts almost exactly like you but has come from a distant planet to master the magical arts like no one else in the Spiral ever has before.

Who are they?

What are they?
