Entry Number 88

Installation: Base Installation

And the voice of the Maker shook the Fade/Saying: In My image I have wrought/My firstborn. You have been given dominion/Over all that exists. By your will/All things are done./Yet you do nothing. /The realm I have given you/Is formless, ever-changing./–Threnodies 5:4. / The first of the two Schools of Energy, Spirit is opposed by the Primal School. It is the school of mystery, the ephemeral school. This is the study of the invisible energies which surround us at all times, yet are outside of nature. It is from the Fade itself that this magic draws its power. Students of this school cover everything from direct manipulation of mana and spell energies to the study and summoning of spirits themselves. / By its nature an esoteric school, as most others know virtually nothing about the Fade, studies of spirit magic are often misunderstood by the general populace, or even confused for blood magic–an unfortunate fate for a most useful branch of study. / –From The Four Schools: A Treatise, by First Enchanter Josephus.
