Hexery-A Low Order Magic system

Hexery is a low powered system of abilities usually native to a single shadow. Though the abilities tend to function on any shadow that uses low order magics.

Most of the abilities range from cantrips to roughly 3rd level magery spells . How they manifest varies from shadow to shadow as well as from person to person. These manifest as "Hexes" & "Knacks".

  • Knack: An ability of the individual usually requiring no material component.
  • Hexes: An ability that can be woven into a item, drawn on something, or otherwise created as a physical item that can often be used by others afterward.

Some people with knacks can embed their ability into a hexed item. Others can only create the hexed item, not cast the spell separately.. .

Hexes and symbols can be used to manipulate and control fey and other magical creatures. Some hexery borders ritualism and has similar effects to ritual summoning.
