Sorcery is broken up into several domains of magic. Originally, it was all one same thing but through centuries of use, research and interpretation, different branches of magic arose. This has resulted in one branch of magic having better effects of the one type at the expense of others. These branches (or domains) of magic are summarised below :-

Neutral Domain - Available by default to all races, allowing information to be gathered on their enemies
White Domain - Used to summon and form heavenly powers. Its effect are healing, strengthening, protection and all things holy
Black Domain - This is the magic of death, destruction, decay and all things unholy
Blue Domain - Focusing on being able to manipulate the spirit, metamagic and mind magic
Green Domain - The purest type of magic, allowing control over elemental powers for either protection or destruction
Red Domain - This is the magic of confusion, destruction and disarray. Mostly used in warfare
Grey Domain - Also known as shadow magic, this is the magic of trickery and deception

To perform the magic arts and influence the varying domains of magic, a mage must draw upon a physical magical source. In the Feudal World this magical energy is in the form of mana stones. In addition each effecting magic also draws upon a mages magic pool, this is in essence a mages source of power. With excessive use, the magic pool will diminish but like the body’s strength, a mages powers regenerates with time

There are many varying spells within the Feudal World. Some spells are instant but leave a permanent non-magical effect, others tend to dissipate with time and lose power, yet others can be removed manually, and there are also some spells that have fixed duration time and then disappear, and those that only function while casting continues and when casting is over the spell is no more. The list below outlines the spells in further detail

You do not get valor/fortitude for performing the same spell on the target as they already have on them (this only applies to spells with duration. eg if you cast drought on a realm, casting drought multiple times will not yield additional valor points)

Intel Related (or non damaging) spells do not yeild any valor or fortitude damage

Offensive Spells last for 75% of normal compared to passive spells. Spell durations have a direct relation to the percentage of cathedrals

The way offensive spells works are as follows. If you have 10 mages and the other side has 10 mages you each have 50% chance (without any other modifiers such as race/buildings) to cast on each other. If one side then has 20 and the other 30. The first side has 40% chance to cast whilst the other has 60%. You then add the building modifiers. Both total figures are reduced from each other and this leaves the total chance you'll cast on someone

You cannot spell realms in your empire
