What is Magick?

In this World, there is a difference between magic, magick and Magick. Here is the definition of them:
magic- with the small letter m and no k is where a person is doing sleight of hand magics or stage magic.
magick with a small m- is what students perform until they acquire skills for a Career Degree.
Magick- is what those who has attained at least 1 Career Degree and has Magickal Abilities of that Degree or Degrees.
Magick User- is one who can perform True Magick(k).

You can be acquiring degrees all of your Life if you choose to do so.

Magick- A general guide

Chapter 1: Magick and its uses

I wish to speak a bit on Magick and its uses. I want each of you to read to this carefully.

Magick is a tool that can be used for good or evil or anywhere in between. The Magick User must be aware of what he or she is doing and why. There are consequences to using Magick. Consequences can be devastating if the Magick User is not aware of all of the effects of the Magick that is being used.

The Magick User is only as strong as his or her body’s endurance of the Physical and Mental Abilities.
A. Physical Strength.
The Magick User is only as strong as his or herself. Magick takes a lot of stamina to do and the body will be drained constantly when the person uses Magick.
B. Mental Strength.
The Magick User must be able to concentrate well, visualize well and think clearly as well as quickly. To do this we need to meditate and do mental exercises to make the mind stronger. Meditation is crucial to one’s mental ability. This is the way one learns how to concentrate, block out unwanted noises, keep the mind clear of intrusions and to imagine the impossible.
C. Knowledge.
The Magick User must be able to use Magick properly and know the 3 parts of Magick.

1. What is the first part. The Magick User must know and understand what he or she wants to do with his or her Magick.

2. Next come How. The Magick User must know each step of the Magick well enough to actually be able to visualize the Magick being done in each step until it becomes as simple and routine as breathing.

3. When is the last part. To cast Magick the Magick User must know when each step should take place.

An example of this is putting your shoes on.
What would be the need to put on shoes to protect your feet from anything that would do them harm or make them uncomfortable, ect.

When would be like when you leave to go outside not before going to bed.

Chapter 2: Where does Magick come from?

Magick is all around you and inside of you. Unless you have the Aura Power, you won't be able to see Magick. Those who do develop the Aura Power are very special and rare.

There are Core Magick and Free Magick.

Core Magick resides in your Magickal Core. They are
Elementals
1.Air/Wind Magick
2. Earth Magick
3. Fire/Heat Magick
4. Water Magick
Inside of the Body Magick
Mental/Mind Control Magick
Sound Magick
These are the ones that you startusing as a Student.
You will learn more as you gain Physical Strength and are able to command them without a thought. You need to know these Spells like the back of your own hand.

The other Magick is Free Magick. Magick that is all around you except for the Elementals. The reason will be revealed later in the chapter.

A few of these Free Magicks are Plantology, Cold Magick and Light Magick.
These you will learn about when you are a Wizard or Wizardess.

As you read and work your way through the other books of this set, you will learn how to handle each and every Magick that is known to this world. More Magicks are being discovered and tried many times before it is published for people to learn.

I hope that you will enjoy learning from my set of Guide Books.

Chapter 3: Power of the Aura or seeing the Auras around you

***Chapter 3: Power of the Aura or seeing the Auras around you***
One who possesses the Power of the Auras can and most likely will, determine your worth as far as Magick goes. After all, who wouldn’t want to see what your enemies’ abilities? Most are looking for certain abilities. If you have that ability or abilities that they are searching for, you might become enslaved. Or at least watched from a distance by some token or spell.

All that have Power of the Auras can see the 5 Basic Abilities- Fire, Water, Earth, Air/Wind and Mental Magick with ease for they excel in all of them and can see them very well. Some can see the strength of the Ability as well but this takes practice.

How do you know if you have this ability? It is a very thing to tell. On your first or second Quest, you will begin to notice wavy colorful haze around people. As you travel, it will become more intense and your may even get headaches or dizzy spells. If you do, let the head of the Quest know so you can be closely monitored. You will be classified as an Aura Sighter.
As you gain control of this ability, you can see less and less of the colors but it never truly goes away. Many Aura Sighters go mad and have to be institutionalized. That means that an Aura Seeker is even more rare.
Sometimes with treatment an Aura Sighter can be helped to see normally which removes the ability or they gain more precise control of their ability and move on to be an Aura Sighter.

An Aura Sighter is the one who can control the Power of Aura excellently and is able to cope with the effects of the Power of Aura. This person is extremely likely to be very valuable as a Privileged Slave. Rarely are there any free Aura Sighters because the temptation of being well paid, having a harem, or anything that they want overcomes the nature of the person. But they were to be able to resist such temptation, they would become an Aura Master.

An Aura Master is not found or seen staring or watching people. This person will go about his or her own business either like a normal being (nearly non-existent) or as a Hermit (normal for all but a very small fraction of Aura Masters, Numbers are unknown.)

Those with this Power of Aura will be closely monitored by the PTB but not interfered with.

Chapter 4: Understanding the Consequences of Magick

***Chapter 4 Understanding the Consequences of Magick***
Consequences of Magick can be very severe for some people and not so severe to an added benefit to others.

Let’s start with Benefits. Magick can give you want you want often times providing you understand how to get what you want. For example, Wizard A wants to become famous quick. Wizard A is excellent in gathering rains from a long distance away. The country that Wizard A is gathering rains for prospers from the agriculture but yet all of the rain brings on bugs like mosquitoes.

Wizard A is now asked to get rid of the bugs so Wizard A goes out and find birds that love to eat bugs and some bats who enjoy the bugs as well. Now the bug problem is solved. But another problem occurs. Poop everywhere.

This poop is a good fertilizer in a small amount, but it also holds diseases that can make people ill. It gets into the food by being used as a fertilizer, water by rains washing it away, and makes an unsightly sight.

In another country where the rain was taken from all of the time, becomes a dessert and the kingdom can not survive unless it finds a way to control their rain. But even further away is a kingdom where they are having problems with rain. Wizard Q looks for a good dumping place or two. Wizard Q finds this country that needs rain desperately or so they say so he/she goes there as a visitor and observes the area.
Wizard Q decides that yes, this country can use the rain and arranges with Wizard K to deliver rain. Wizard K is delighted to have the rain and the exchange is made. After a number of years, the two countries were close allies.

Chapter 5: Types of Magick

***Glitterizing***- The simplest yet it can be ever so complex Magick. All you need is concentration and an imagination. You may create very delightful things out of this Magick. The downside is that you may forget what is real and what is part of your imagination.

Air/Wind Magick: You can manipulate air, creating gusts of winds to blow away enemies, or keep yourself alive in worse areas by drawing in clean air to yourself. If used hard enough can wear down even the mightiest of stone.

Earth Magick: You can manipulate the very earth around you, building the best shelters, fortifications, and the most resistant of any materials. But even a simple wind can erode you, or a strong one. And a mighty rush of water can knock you down.

Fire/Heat Magick: You can manipulate fire, adding heat and light to what you do, you both weaken shadows, and melt ice, as well as burn other organisms. However, a strong wind, or ample water or earth can snuff you out.

Water Magick: You can manipulate water, moistening things, doesn't sound like much, but drowning is an unpleasant way to die. You can also wear away at earth, and kill fires. Ice and electricity can easily take you down though.

Cold/Ice Magick: You can manipulate temperature, cooling or even freezing things as you go. You can be used for good shelter. Just be careful for fire.

Shadow Magick: You can manipulate shadows, and darkness, also can flux the shadow into 3D forms, such as weapons or armor. Weak in the day.

Sound Magick: You can manipulate sound, allowing yourself to listen in on others, sneak around, or give orders to people miles away without anyone in between to hear. You can also create a sonic boom, but such ability can also render your companions deaf if done incorrect.

Mental/Mind Control Magic: You can control the minds of others, but only a handful at a time. This ability leaves you vulnerable to attacks, as your mind actually enters that of the controlled, leaving your body empty.

Light Magick: You can light up a room or manipulate light, making it so you can create illusions, or make physical manifestations of the light, such as weapons and armor. Weak during the day.

Lightening Magic: is basically harnessing electricity that is in the air-- You can manipulate electricity, very much like fire, but faster and stronger. However, it gives up the ability to best a few things, and when in close proximity of water, it can be self-destructive.

Magickal Blocks: Magical Blocks are just what it sound like.
You will need to block Magicks at times, particularly in a battle. That is why you must learn to do at least 2 things at one time.
Yes, it is a lot to do at once when you are a Novice and you will need to practice both in a protected room and with a qualified instructor.

Careers

Each of you will need to study for a career and depending on what kind of a career you choose to pursue, the Branch of Magick will be decided. Then you may start asking for classes that pertain to you career.
One thing to remember about careers is that the higher the career, the more classes you will need to take. Please keep in mind how long you wish to stay in Academics. Think about what kind of a student are you? What career will be the one that you will be able to do until you retire?
Guilds are similar to a club in many ways. They are groups of people who are interested in one group of Careers. When you join a Guild, you take an Oath to help and support each other. There are other parts of the Oath that you will be required to give thoughts to. These areas are secret and up to the Guild Master to decide on.
Each Category below holds Specific Levels of Magick as well as the amount of time to gain a Degree and a Career. You will be allowed to choose one Branch to work through. You will need to make your Vows and Oaths to that Guild then be accepted into it.

Summoner: Is rarely done due to the risks involved and the individual time spent teaching a student is not worth the troubles it gives. These are Mages and are normally a hermit or hermitess yet they live together in Communes more to protection and to bounce ideas, thoughts and developing new Magicks.
During the next few days you will need to be thinking of what career you want to take. And I mean seriously thinking of what you want to achieve as your future career.

Academy of Secret Order Society- Closed. ;(

Early the next morning
Runiaka was up early and ate before the girls were downstairs. She had plans for the girls and while the morning was for class reading, the rest of the day would be at the mall where the girls would be allowed to eat lunch, shop and eat dinner before leaving the mall. They could even catch an afternoon movie if they wanted to do so.

Runiaka would pick up what supplies she could find and tuck them away in the bus for future use. She would also buy some items for herself. She heard the bus's inner workings gearing up to wake the girls up. She sat down with her carafe of coffee.
There was an empty carafe for both girls as well as several boxes to one side.

Aisling began by putting away her clothes and such. She wished that she had bought a jewelry case of some sort but seeing what room she had, made her think twice about the space she had. She sat at her desk and looked on her laptop for a floor plan which she found. Tiny Icons could be placed where she wanted and there was a selection of people to show the walking to and from different areas. She measured a couple places so she knew how much room she had for stuff.
By here desk, she could put something that was 3' X 3'. On the back wall there was space for something up to 9' long and 3'-4' deep....
*Quite a bit of room so why not use it?* she thought to herself as she made some notes.

Once that was done, Aisling wasn't tired so she looked around for something to do. She had nothing to do so she went to bed. It wasn't before the lights began to dim.....

In Africa, alone, stranded and angry at tour guide.....

I am looking for someone to play The Phantom and possibly Guran as well as a couple people to be NPCs like the various tribes in Africa and the animals, criminals, ect.

I am a photographer who was doing all of the work and her partner got all the credit. Including the trophy of the year.
I only need 1 person but more up to 5 positions can apply.

If there is anyone who know The Phantom Lore, please respond.

Academy of Secret Order Society- Closed. ;(

Aisling read through all of the classes and decided on Sewing and Design as well as Jewelry Making which sounded like fun to match up her jewelry with her new outfits that she would make. Rest of the classes were chosen for her so she spoke up and said
"I am done. What shall we do next?" Aisling spoke quietly as she thought about learning magick.

"I suggest that you get a snack and a couple drinks or more. Then go upstairs and check out your room, make your bed and put away your stuff. There is an upstairs lounge that you can visit in or in each other's room. I'll be around to check on you. Tomorrow we will take in the Ghost Town and The Mall. In The Mall, you will be allowed to shop for anything you want from candy and new clothes to games and magazines. You will be given a gift card so you won't need money. And I will give you a list of things for class to buy. That is all that I have for you tonight. Let's will start to dim at 8:50 which gives you 10 minutes to get to your room. You will have an hour to get ready for bed."

Aisling stood up and smiled as she spoke
"Thank you, Miss Runiaka."

She headed to the machines and got 3 pepsis plus some chips for a snack later maybe.
