Arcane energy is the raw power of creation, the same that was used by the gods to

to model the world and all the creatures it contains. Wizards are capable of accessing
to concentrate this energy through your willpower and shape it through psalmodies,
gestures and material components.

Although it possesses the same arcane nature, the power used by ancient sorcerers

of raw magic.

The two distinct forms of arcane magic - primary sorcery and High Sorcery - involve
very different mental and spiritual processes. Some consider that primordial witchcraft
(also called wild) is an art compared to High Sorcery, which by its method
systematic resembles a science, but this analogy is simplistic and not entirely accurate. If
It is true that wild sorcery demands its users to have willpower in the face of
sharp intellect required for High Sorcery, there are enough exceptions to deny the
validity of this standard.

Ultimately, the difference does not lie so much in the spirit or the mind, but in the distinction.
between focused and unfocused energy. The primordial sorcerers can directly use
the forces of creation that still seep into the physical world, without any kind of filter. When
the Gray Gem was freed in Krynn, towards the dawn of the Era of Dreams, the essence of Chaos
contained in it made the primary energies accessible to mortals. It was
So when the first sorcerers appeared, especially among the races with more
sensitivity to magic, like elves and ogres. But their newly acquired power was volatile
and unpredictable, as was soon demonstrated. Cornered by the forces of the Dark Queen in
the Second War of the Dragons, three elf wizards cast a spell that massacred the
enemy army and drove away the dragons. Despite the initial success, the unleashed energies

across the continent for more than a hundred years.

creation, Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari decided to intervene. They took the three elves to a place
section, later known as the Lost Citadel, and they taught them the rules of the
High Sorcery. From that moment on, the wizards (although they are also sometimes called
sorcerers) would use the energy previously filtered by the Gods of Magic, thus minimizing the
mark of Chaos. Upon their return, the elves took students under their tutelage and founded the
orders of the High Sorcery, with the active support of the three moons.

The rise of the new institution in Ansalon was parallel to the decline of wild magic. The Gem
Gris was captured by the irdas and contained by means of two god-gems (the same ones she had)
used Gargath in the past), thus preventing it from radiating its influence throughout the world. Deprived of
influence of Chaos, the energies of creation gradually faded from the eyes of the
mortals, until it became impossible for them to access them. Currently, only the dragons and the
derived species can access the quintessence of the world; the other races can only

THE LANGUAGE OF MAGIC

The language that wizards use to write their spells and chant the songs that unleash the
magic contained within them is called demagius. Some believe it was named so in
honor of the famous companion of Huma Dragonbane, but the language is much older.
It was originally granted to the first three wizards who studied under the tutelage of the Gods.
of Magic in the Age of Dreams, as a tool to focus the magician's mind on the
spell being cast and its consequences. The complexity involved in learning and
pronouncing his words, the intricate alphabet he uses and its ritualized structure are elements
aimed at achieving this purpose.

The spoken form of the language is used, in principle, only for the casting of spells. It is more

The Moons and their conjunctions.

A true conjunction of the three moons is rare, occurring about three times a year; in two
of them, the moons are only in minor phases and in one they are full (what is known as the
night of the eye, although in reality it lasts two nights).

In contrast, the conjunctions of only two moons are quite common: Nuitari is in
conjunction with one of the other two moons about one day out of every four, thanks to its
fast progress along its orbit. It meets Lunitari once every 11 or 12 days and with Solinari
once every 10 or 11 days. Often the conjunction lasts only one night, but sometimes it extends longer.

Lunitari and Solinari come into conjunction with each other only once every four and a half months.
but their conjunctions last seven or eight days each time.

On certain days, Nuitari is in conjunction with one moon in the morning and with the other in the evening.
night, although Lunitari and Solinari are not in conjunction with each other. During these 'false
the conjunctions" the mages of the three orders benefit from the conjunction of their moon, but not
from the additional benefit of the three moons at the same time.
