The Art

The Art is a term given to imply magic of the Arcane variety.

Magic in the Dark Times Saga is representative of two types of spell-casting.

ARCANE MAGIC :
Arcane magic is the type that is discovered, learned, manipulated, refined and taught. It is the focusing of certain (often dormant) abilities within an individual to manipulate the ambient magic that exists undetected in all things. Arcane magic tends to be very powerful and extravigant but has the habit of burning out the user or in some cases even corrupting them. Examples of Arcane Magic-users include: Magi, Sorcerers, Obtenus, Dragons and Shadonians.

FAITH MAGIC
Faith magic is a lot more subtle than Arcane in that it works slowly and almost unnoticably in most cases. It is the amplication of magical forces through a conduit; be that a 'higher being' such as a Deity, or through the forces of nature itself. Though Faith magic tends to be more gradual and permanent in its application, there are certain magics that emulate Arcane wizardry, though these often suffer the same hazards and can be equally dangerous. Examples of Faith Magic-users include: Druids, Shaman, Witch-Doctors and Priests.
