Lore of Fire

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

The Lore of Fire, also known as Bright Magic [10a] is Magic derived from Aqshy, the red wind of magic. [1a]

Aqshy runs wild over hot sands and sun-baked fields of the world and is most powerful where there is flame and fire, whipped into a frenzy as it swirls over the volcanoes of the Worlds Edge Mountains. To those with the sight, the red wind appears as a crimson, hazy shimmer obscuring the real world as if it is a mirage. [1a]

When the Lore of Fire is used, sparks crackle and spit at the magister’s fingertips, the very air darkens and afterwards the ground seems to char and crack, wisps of smoke may hang in the air and the smell of burning hangs heavy. Aqshy seems to consist of two seemingly distinct elements - the physical world, of fire and heat, and the emotional, warmth of personality and spirit, the heat of love and friendship. Passion and anger attract Aqshy, aiding in its channelling. [1b]

Unsurprisingly, Aqshy is hard to summon at sea but is swiftly drawn to anything that is set on fire - Bright Wizards have a terrible reputation amongst mariners. [7a]

Quotes

Feel with me now the roaring inferno licking at your limbs, strands of power burning with pure magic, flickering through your body, feeding your very being. This is the power of the Bright Wind of Fire. Feel it gathering, lighting the way, sparks erupting from your body, glimmering light brightening around you, attracted to the shapes in your mind, and the patterns you draw upon the air. Searing flames, of all hues jumping into life, gathered into your arms and warming your heart.

~ Supreme Patriarch Thyrus Gormann welcoming apprentices. [1a]
