Ghyran

Ghyran, the Lore of Life, is the Green Wind of Magic often described by Magisters as the embodiment of the Aethyr's momentum towards growth and the need to nourish and be nourished. Ghyran is the Aethyr's echo and mirror of fertility and the nurturing aspects of mortal life. This brimming energy has granted the spells powered by Ghyran their title as the "Lore of Life".   Concerned with healing, curatives, and the magic of plants, these powerful spells are wielded by the Jade Wizards with great respect. Known by common folk as "Druids," these Magisters wax and wane with the seasons as they are closely tied to the land and its spirit — the Wind of Ghyran.   Ghyran is said to fall upon the mortal world in a manner similar to rainfall upon the earth. Those with witchsight claim to be able to see Ghyran form into pools and swirling eddies of green-hued magical energy that gradually form into rivers, flowing across the land like water, though unbound by physical laws.   When the Winds of Magic blow most strongly, Ghyran flows across the lands like a great tide, sinking into the soil and drawn to the rivers, waterways, lakes, and springs of the mortal world. Its energy is particularly attracted to water and saturates the earth with its life-giving power. It is drawn up through the roots of all plants it comes into contact with, feeding all living things, and encouraging their growth.  

Jade Magic

  Jade Magic, or the spellcraft of the Lore of Life - also known as "druid lore" or "animism" - comprises spells that concern themselves with the change of the seasons, agriculture, fertility, growth, soil, earth, and water. These spells are powered by the Green Wind of Magic, Ghyran, which has inspired many hedge wizards and petty magickers in the past, including the much fabled Elementalists (of water and earth), and of course Druidism.    All of these clumsy gropings at Ghyran's power can now find themselves perfected and made manifest in the Lore of Life as taught by the Jade Order.   It is said that Ghyran's Magisters, or Druids as they are sometimes known, are the most sensitive to the natural lifecycles of the countryside, and so spend little time within the confines of great cities. Such is their skill with, and love for, the forces of nature and living things, that Ghyran's Magisters are often called upon to cure crop blights or bring nourishment to barren soil.   Druids can make dead earth fertile, cure blights, encourage fertility in humans and beasts, and it is even whispered that they can cause wild and unstoppable growth of creatures and plants if they so wish. Yet these Magisters also have the ability to control flows of water and the very earth beneath their feet. In battle, Jade Magisters can call forth steaming geysers in the ranks of their enemies and even cause the earth to split under their feet.
