The World of Teréth End - Spells & Magic

"The black cloud that accompanied her moved through the streets with the flapping of a thousand beating wings and dark soulless eyes.  The wind they stirred sent the shutters crashing and doors slamming around them.  All but the foolish hid from their path, and those that stayed to watch were breathed into the swallowing murder."

[form (animal, beast)]

The Art of Draga Baras is the study and interaction with fauna.  Those that master the art have often secluded themselves in deep wilderness to learn from the animals they yearn to imitate or control.  Most that pursue the call of Draga Baras, develop a deep-seated love and respect for their animal examples.  It is rare that those that study and learn the art, use it to the detriment of animal-kind.  Some have guessed that the highest, most challenging levels of Draga Baras, must be taught by the animals themselves; who will only divulge their secrets to those they greatly trust.  Most masters of the art are students of the druidic ways.

Similar to Draga (Plants), the energies need to cast Draga Baras spells cannot be found in crystals and stones.  The power to cast these spells must derive from the caster, from willing animals, or from the latent energies of a wilderness area.

Grimoire Infinitum

Spells included here are not those owned or maintained by the sirkùla or cults but rather spells that have fallen into "outside" hands.  Some of these spells have been so widely circulated that ownership is no longer known or recognized.  Sirkùli spells may be found on the individual sirkùla pages.  Cult spells can be found on the individual religion pages.

Casting Time	1 minute
