The Spellscourge

The Spellscourge was a catastrophic phenomenon that followed the Cataclysm, plunging Levelia into a century-long era of magiclessness. It severed the arcane currents that had once flowed freely through the world, rendering spellcasting inert, magical artifacts powerless, and divine miracles nearly impossible. This affliction marked the darkest chapter of the Age of Strife, as civilizations accustomed to relying on magic were forced to adapt—or perish.

Scholars attribute the Spellscourge to the chaotic forces unleashed during the Cataclysm. The balance of magic, already strained by unchecked experimentation and divine meddling, collapsed entirely. Arcane ley lines fractured, scattering their energies into the void, while the Ancient Tongue became perilous to use, often resulting in catastrophic failures or unintended consequences. The gods themselves seemed distant, their influence muted by the disruption.
