Hexery-A Low Order Magic system
 
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.
 
 
 
==Knacks and hexes==
 
 
===Minor Knacks===
 
These are generally unable to be woven into hexes.
