Spellfyre: Beginner Spells
In the world of LOVE & MAGIC™: SPELLFYRE, using a spell requires two steps: a channel and a cast. We discussed these mechanics in an earlier blog, and now we wanted to dive deeper into the spells you'll learn at Elderwood University.
The beginner Ikaris spell is Slow Time, which allows you to briefly slow the passage of time for an object. Casting it requires finding a memory when you wish you had just a little more time.
Timoros magic is great for manipulation and stealth. The first Timoros spell you’ll learn is Hide, which lets you vanish into shadow. To cast, you must find a memory of a time when you were so scared, you wanted to disappear.
The introductory Penthos spell is Fireball, a must-have for combat. To cast, you need to remember a time when you felt so angry, you wanted to see something burn.
Felicis magic has many applications, but the first spell you’ll learn is Speed. This spell gives you a burst of momentum so you can move faster than you ever thought possible. To channel it, you need to find a memory when you were so excited, you just needed to move.
The introductory Erolis spell you’ll learn is Shield. Channeling for it requires finding a memory of when you wanted to make sure nothing could hurt someone you love.
Sikranos is the most esoteric of affinities. The beginner Sikranos spell is Seek Hidden, which guides you to a specific object’s location. Casting Seek Hidden requires thinking of a question you deeply want the answer to.
These are just the first spells you’ll learn at Elderwood University. There are many more to discover over your three years there... and that’s not even including forbidden magic.
