Balorien 54 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Backstory: Bjaahri'l is a ancient and forgotten type of magic. The ancient priest and tribal chieftains instructed this type of magic. However this knowladge was lost hundreds of years ago. Some ancient stone tablets and cave paintings still contain the knowladge of this magic. If you know how to read them. Those people who still know something about this magic type are often judged as a necromancer. However they are very different from necromancers. Bjaahri'l is a very complicated type of magic. It's true that they are capable of creating undeads but they are very different than the undeads of the necromancers. The masters of Bjaahri'l are capable of summoning the spirit of their ancestors. So they can get knowladge from their ancestors. They can create a ghoul like creatures called Ashurus. However ashurus are very weak creatures and everyone who know something about magic can interact with the magic that drives them. The ancient people never continued the undead researches, or that knowladge disappeared with the whole culture. Creation of the Baal'Akai: The Baal'Akai is creature thats not alive, not dead, nor undead. They usually called the "Half Living". Baal'Akai's are creatures made from the greatest priests and warlords of the ancient people. They are half living, becouse if you hit one of their important organ they die. Such as liver, lungs, heart, brain, but they are resistent to their other orgens. Baal'Akai's regeneration skills are amazing. However their flesh and bones are weak. They feed on the blood to keep up their strenght. If they stop drinking blood they won't die, but they will lose their powers. They follow none orders, their will drives them. Curses: The ancient people used curses to weaken their enemy, or to empower their own people. They preformed rituals, At rituals, they painted the magic circle of the curse they wanted to make. Than they spilled blood on the circle. They started to say the words. After it they made a sacrofice if the curse required it. While the whole ritual is going on they burn a strange type of plant called the Blackratweed or in their language, Nash'in. They belived this plant has some sort of magical power. Blackratweed/ Nash'in: This plant can be find in swamps and near lakes or rivers. It's had a black flower, and the plant has no leaves it's covered with spikes. At rituals they burn its flower. The smoke of its flower is black, but it has no power. However if you cook it. from its flower you can make a exellent tea, or if you dry it you can make spices. Healing: The ancient people believed in the healing power of the magical smoke. They burn different type of dried herbs in order to heal. Some of them actually worked. They had a spell they called it "Blood chain." They cut 2 people's hand, and poured their blood into one bowl. They added various herbs to the brew and preformed a strange ritual. After it, until the strange liquid stays in that bowl. They share their life power. So it will be hard to kill them but also if one of them dies so is the other. They usually did this with their prisoners so the members of other tribes who would want to free their prisoners would actually killed them while they tried to kill their jailer. Mostly the healing of the ancient people were empowering healing potions with rituals. They had some healing spells but those weren't very effective compered to the healing spells of our time. Spirit Magic: The ancient people weren't really intresting in the magic of this world. They did great researches in the Spirit magic or Xathro as they called it. They even managed to enter to ther realm of the dead and than return from there. However they couldn't drag dead people back to our world. They could awaken them for a short time. To summon spirits they went to their grave and casted a spell that caused the spirit to return to his body, then they used a spirit shackle to keep the spirit there for sometime. This is how to awaken the dead. Summoning spirits takes a lot of power and knowladge only few of their mages managed to do it. However they managed to find a easier way. They created Talismans. A alive man's soul can be broken. They broke down a small part from the soul. They placed it in the talisman and wrote the magic words on it. From this own the talisman has something like will. Only those people can see the words that the talisman choosen, by reading these words the spirit will appear everywhere, anytime. However this cannot be used very often. The Talisman need to recharge, but it can be recharged by rituals if you really require the aid of the spirit. (Summoning spirits isnt like the shamanism this vidoe might help how i imagine it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu9W9J36b10 ) Shadow Magic: They also practised a magic totally new for us. Those mages that knew this art called themselves the Guardians of the Night. They drow their powers from the Shadow realm. They managed to change their formes into anything. They could also become a shadow. While in shadow form they are invulnerable for pshycal weapons, they can noly be damaged by magic spells. They can seperate themself to several shadows it only matters how practised the mage is. While in shadowform the mage's power is separeted. If a shadow die it's powers are shared between the remaining shadows. If all shadow die the mage takes up its true form. Shadow mages can possess creatures. A powerfull mage can break inot several shadow and controll several creatures. However this is not without danger! If a mage is too powerfull its power can kill the body hes hiding in it and if he's too weak the body can throw him out or enslave him! Shadow magic is very hard to master. Also shadow masters are vunerable to holy damage. While in shadow form any type of holy damage is causing very much damage. Shadow power can be drained from corpses. Curse types: Weaknesses: These ancient type of magic is unstable and dangerous. Also easily can be inturrapted by other magic types. Require lot of time to cast these spells. Using these spells drains lot of life force from the user. Red Lines: This type of magic is usually declared as evil magic and as black art. However it's users are not evil. The ancient people were not evil people who raised the dead and casted curses. They only used those spells in the very need. OOC: this is for now, keep in mind if this is just a pillar idea! It can be much wider, but i don't have time to do it at the moment. If you think this can be accepted or want to hear more about it ask for it and i can upgrade it later and also add some more curses. :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jandy_ 3198 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I think this could be the beginning of a very interesting idea although I don't think we need another dark magic type, but that is just my opinion. Although I think the current idea is very broad and could use some more details that tie into current lore such as the source of the magic or why the ancestors are able to be summoned. So maybe you could think out a few more details, although right now it is a creative thought, keep working with it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balorien 54 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 I doubt. This type of magic would come along with the tribal culture and with human sacrofices and such. I think everyone would b ehappy to see guys running in wooden mask and tribal clothes. You can mention the Kha's but they arent tribal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of any magic that is both good, and bad. This could be going somewhere. Though, erm, please fix typos! :P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShameJax 1391 Share Posted December 26, 2015 All of the already written ideas can already be done through other magic types, such as Necromancy and Soul Puppetry. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balorien 54 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 A bit more had been added. Still new rituals are coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Nkruma= 64 Share Posted December 26, 2015 This type of magic seems very interesting! Though I like the concept I think you should stick with one theme but so far so good! +1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Nkruma= 64 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Eh, something went wrong with the post I made before but I want to drop by and say I really like this idea! I suggest you stick to one concept of magic to keep it simple but so far so good! +1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteoak123 9 Share Posted December 26, 2015 It sounds like a neat concept, but I see a direct mix of Necromancy, Shamanism and Soul Puppetry. Nothing unique can be done with this magic, that cannot be done with a combination of other magics. -1 for now, unless you add something truly unique 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteoak123 9 Share Posted December 26, 2015 4 minutes ago, Balorien said: the spirit awakening is unique. Eh, Shamanism deals with communicating with the spirit realm, to gain power. Necromancy uses life-force to animate the dead. I think you also need to add Red Lines, Strengths, and Weaknesses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
