Chapter VII: Magic
Description: You can cleanse an area of up to one square mile of blight. This saves plants, trees, crops, and other growing things and makes the area immune to the same blight for the rest of the season. Alternately, this spell can be cast on 2d10 characters suffering from disease. The duration of any diseases these characters are suffering from is halved (rounded down). T he l ore of l IghT The Lore of Light is the magic of physical and mental illumination. Based on manipulation of Hysh , the White Wind of Magic, this lore is about truth, wisdom, radiant power, and life-giving energy. Magisters of this lore are known as Hierophants or Light Wizards and they are wise philosophers, potent healers, and fearless Daemon- banishers. As these Wizards grow in power, they tend towards dry intellectualism and wit, rather than humour. The colour leeches out of their skin and hair, growing lighter and semi-transparent in some cases, whilst the eyes tend towards milky whiteness or a golden luminescence. Most spend their spare time reading or in solemn contemplation.
