Magick Synopsis
High Magick: The power to create and to destroy; to give and just as simply to take away. Gods in their own right, the Daeva hold the power to influence the world around them in countless ways, but few are motivated enough to engage in the sort of direct involvement spoken of in the history of old worlds. The Daeva of today are content to meddle in the affairs of man and beast from afar, gifting power to their chosen servants to aid favored acolytes in carrying out their bidding. Daeva do not easily part with their power, however, as it is limited. Magick of this form requires a strong connection between mage and patron similar to worship offered to a deity. Even the simplest of spells called High Magick require a mix of prayer and ritual to be performed. The length of complexity of these is dependent on the complexity of the spell effect.

● For reference... the average spell takes upwards of 30 seconds of complete concentration on the prayer to accomplish, though there are reports of powerful spells taking an entire day to perform. During this time the caster slips into a trance like state and is unable to react to the world around them without needing to begin the prayer again. Likewise, because of the necessity of a strong bond between Patron and Practitioner, a mage may only have one patron, one bond.
