Magic in Kyrn

Magic is found throughout Kyrn. It is most evident in the spells cast by Clerics and Druids, Mages and Sorcerers, but it is more than just spells. Magic items, places of legend, and even monstrous beasts all have magic in them.   All magic can be traced back to the instance of creation, when Anno and Xi celebrated their marriage. Magic spread throughout the universe at that instance. Sages who have studied the matter call magic The Flow. There are two sides of The Flow : The Light that derives from Anno and is watched over by the Risen, and the Dark that comes from Xi . Spell casters tap into one side of the Flow or the other depending on how they receive their powers. Clerics and Warlocks receive the Flow from the Risen or the Fallen directly. Wizards gain access to the Flow through studying its patterns and then manipulating those patterns. Sorcerers, Druids and Bards are able to gather the Flow around them and redirect it through their spells.   Most people have seen some form of The Flow in their lives, although they may not understand it, they know that their local priest, or a wandering druid, or even the resident mage are different than normal folk, and they generally respect that difference. But they also know of stories of the Fallen, and their evil minions, who corrupt magic for wicked purposes. So the unknown, the strange, the unexpected can bring up those fears.
