The human Kormir was able to absorb Abaddon's power upon his death shortly before this, however, she had been given a "special gift" by the other gods, and so this may be an exceptional case.Īlmost every being in Tyria has access to magic in some way or another, and there are countless ways of utilising that magic. When the Maguuma Bloodstone in Bloodstone Fen exploded, those caught in the blast were driven mad, but also became dependent on the magic, needing to consume it in order to live. When other creatures (including most species endemic to Tyria) are exposed, they become crazed by the magic, driven into a savage frenzy while also granting them unpredictable, anomalous abilities. These include Elder Dragons and their minions, lesser dragons such as Glint and her scions, chak, some types of skelk, and imps, as well as the Six. Some species naturally have the ability to safely consume magic. There are hints that the Dream of Dreams, powerful magic and mindscape of unknown origins, is the source for the sylvari's immunity from dragon corruption as well. These include, but are not limited, to the Eyes of the Ocean, which prevent new Risen from being created, and the Forgotten's magic that is both immune to corruption and capable of actually cleansing dragons minions of their masters' influence. There are some types of magic that are able to resist the corrupting qualities of the Elder Dragons. Little is known of the details of Maginamics, except that the Seventh Law of Maginamics posits that magic cannot be created or destroyed. The asuran field of Maginamics attempts to investigate and describe the properties of magic. Dervishes used similar abilities, but that tradition is now thought lost with the destruction of the Order of the Sunspears. This seems unlikely, however, as these capabilities are now used by guardians despite the silence of the gods and can be utilised by members of any race. Before the silence of the Six, monks' abilities were called prayers rather than magic, suggesting that they were channeling the power of the gods. The different types of magical energy may be correlated with the attributes of the spellcasting professions of old necromancers practiced death magic and blood magic, mesmers practiced domination magic, illusion magic, and inspiration magic, elementalists practiced air magic, earth magic, fire magic, and water magic, and ritualists practiced channelling magic and restoration magic. " Dragon energy" is a term that has been used to seemingly refer to the corrupting magic that Elder Dragons exude, though recent usage of the term puts "dragon energy" as effectively interchangeable with magic in general and labels " Zhaitanic energy" to be the same as ley lines' death magic. The terms "dark energy", and "light energy" have been used in the past, as well as " chaos energy".
Magic can be decomposed into several separate forms, for example death magic. Unfiltered magic in this context is often called ley energy. Likened to wind currents, ley lines combine magic of all types together in a way that that is analogous to different wavelengths of light combining to form white light. Magic coalesces into channels across the world, traveling across paths of least resistance beneath the ground in what are called ley lines. But in high enough concentration, magic begins to take visible form. Naturally, magic in the environment cannot be visibly seen or easily detected. "A Treatise on the Mental Puppeteering of Golems" by Snaff Where there is one, there must also be the other. My research has found a thread between magic and the mind. It can move mountains or it can be shattered like glass. The mind is a powerful and fragile quantity in the world equation and the Eternal Alchemy. With the right connectors, manipulating magical elements with the mind becomes possible. The building blocks of reality are held together by magic. This magic is said to ebb and flow via currents called ley lines. Some scholars theorize that magic flows through all things, that we swim in magic as fish swim in water, or as we ourselves live in air.
