The
magic of Force is a wonder to behold, but not so subtle as
the magics of mentalism. It is the control of physical forces;
of gravity, of magnetism, of light, kinetic force, and eventually
space itself.
Force
Scars are spectacular...blue skin, constantly attracting metal
objects, or always hovering a foot or so above the ground.
Force
focuses are often lodestones, or prisms; other focuses are
ones that represent that which they are trying to control
(such as a miniature knife to control the kinetic force in
an opponent's sword swing).
The
more powerful a force is, the more difficult it is to control;
a thrown pebble is easier to control than a falling tree,
and the gravity of a person easier to control than the gravity
of a house.
LEVELS
OF ADVANCEMENT:
None:
A sorceror has not been awakened has no inkling of his magic
whatsoever, and will not until he is awakened. After that,
he begins immediately at Apprentice-level, with the ability
to perceive forces.
Apprentice:
the mage can percieve normally imperceivable forces such as
magnetism and gravity, and sense spacial disturbances (such
as detecting invisibility.)
Journeyman:
The mage can begin to manipulate forces in a minor fashion;
this includes manipulating light and sound to form illusions
and changing the direction of forces. However, powerful forces
are beyond the journeyman; he can cause a thrown pebble to
veer aside but couldn't do the same for a very heavy object
such as a falling tree.
Mage:
The mage can manipulate forces in a stronger manner; he can
cause a sword or tree to veer aside instead of striking, and
can create the complete illusion of invisibility. He also
begins to understand the relation between force and space,
and can start teleporting small objects to and from himself.
Adept:
The mage can manipulate forces most cannot even dream of;
he can create force where there was none before and can teleport
both himself and others to any place he knows or can find.
He can now fly if he wishes and the illusions he can cast
are of extreme size and complexity.
LOST ABILITIES: It is rumoured that in times of old,
a mage could change one force into another, such as turning
kinetic force into light, or create gates to different planes.
