A Lesson in magic of the Etherious

Magic is drawn from the etherious and a trade is made, life energy for magic, magic that is shaped by the soul who wields it. Ones soul is a conduit to conduct magic from etherious to make manifest. Magics can be classified into Attunements. Most people resonate with one type of magic more closely than others. Someone who is fire attuned may be able to conjure water, but it will not be as much or of good quality as someone who is water attuned. A person may be born with many Attunements, but tend to lose favor with others as the age out of childhood. Magic Attunements tends to be come more rigid as one ages.

The basic Attunements are Life, Shadow, Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Enhancement and Time.

Life
Those that are life attuned are gifted in the art of nature and nurturing life. They make excellent healers. Often this practice of magic involves the exchange of magic essence from the caster to the target.

Shadow
Those that are shadow attuned have access to the magics that make for great assassins and thieves. Shadow magics involve the manipulation of the magic around them, forming a cloak of magic, could be used to conceal ones presence or to protect oneself from an incoming attacks. They can also manifest raw magic objects, such as ethereal daggers, swords, shields and projectiles.

Fire
Those that are attuned to the flame are able to pull the fire from within and manifest it in a physical form. From a warm yellow to a blazing blue fire magic like all elemental magic is strong but comes at a great cost to the caster. An individual must have a strong connection to the Etherious to be attuned.

Water
Those that are attuned to water cannot only create water from the magic essence that flows from etherious but are able to use this same flow to manipulate water that exist in the world. This elemental magic, unlike fire, does not need to cost the caster as much for manipulation magic vs the creation of water.

Wind
Wind attunements are rare, this form of magic seems to manifest in only a select few. Those that posses access to this magic that they are able to direct a force of wind at. The caster must have a very strong connection to etherious like the fire attuned as this magic is derived from within.

Earth
Those that are earth attuned can manipulate the very earth they stand on, they pump the magic from etherious into the earth commanding the stone to bend to the will of the caster. Exceptionally powerful casters can will Golems into existence.

Enhancement
Unlike shadow magics that will magic around them, those who are enchantment attuned turn that will inward, strengthening their body and reinforcing their skin until its hard as steel.

Time
Time magics control the flow of time. Basic magics involve speeding up or slowing down time. This attunement is the closest to the Etherious and must be treated with the most caution lest the soul be consumed.
