Lore of Life

From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Lore of Life is Magic derived from Ghyran, the jade wind of magic. [1a][5a]

The energies of Ghyran fall like rain upon the earth, forming pools of magic that flow into natural watercourses meaning that its power is closely bound up with water, vegetation, and all living things. [1a] Spells cast from the Lore of Life are often accompanied by natural phenomena as vines, undergrowth, trees, and rivers all bend to the druid’s will. [1b]

The sea is saturated with Ghyran but it is also easy for a Jade Wizard to loose control of the power. [4a] Should the magic become concentrated it can lead to blooms of life or even manifest a Sea Elemental. [4c]

Quotes

A fresh, warm breeze that promises abundance and growth, the Jade Wind falls like a spring shower, nourishing and nurturing. It feels as warm as the earth and as fresh as spring water. Once it falls to the ground it collects in pools and rivulets, flowing through the earth as lifegiving rivers, like the pumping of blood.

~ Tochter Grunfeld.[1a]
