Hexery
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, dawn 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 seperatly.. .
