[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 7919944, member: 6801286"] I created my own system for it. Magic can be channeled [B]from the ground, air or water[/B] (usually with the aid of a staff, to guide the flow of magic, but this is slower). For this the caster must be physically in contact with the ground or the water. The staff helps guide and aim the magic, while protecting the caster. The limitless supply of magic is useful for powerful spells that take longer to cast. It can also be channeled [B]from the self[/B] (which is quick, but also limited). Channeling from the self is not without risks, which is why wands are recommended, to aim the magic away from your own body. This is useful for simple spells that are easy to cast. ...and [B]from focus items[/B] (which contain a limited amount of magic). This is similar as channeling from the self, since the magic still passes through your body. Again, wands are recommended while casting. Within my laws of magic, magic itself can be harmful to the caster if he is not trained. Which is why casters use implements to help direct magic away from themselves, and why they wear clothing with isulating properties. Magic can be divine, arcane, or unspecified. [/QUOTE]
