The World of Teréth End - Spells & Magic

"The wizards gathered in a circle, conferring about the magnificent piece.  It had the head of an ass, the tail of of a serpent, its forward legs were canine, its hind legs were the fins of some large fish, and the torso remained of a young woman.  More wonderful still, it breathed."

Book of Dragum Skar'ad'a

[way (destroy, unmake) (age, corrode)]

Dragum Skar'ad'a is the Way of Destruction, the art studied and used by thousands of magicians since the beginning of time, for it is the art of power through war.

Müt is the Way of change.  The study of Dragum Müt begins with the common philosophy that all things exist in a state of contuining transformation.  From this foundation, the Müt magics are simply means to nudge those transformative forces to create new and often bizarre permutations.

Often, change is inobvious.  The state of being whole and the state of fracture (sometimes referred to as "whole multiplication") are to different states of the ame entity.  Some might think that a shattered jar is still a jar, but the Müt adept might see that the jar has undergone a metamorphosis into many distinct entities.  A not-Müt mage might "destroy" the jar by the application of force to reduce it to fragments whereas a Müt adept would instead "create" new-wholes from the original-whole.  To the lay person, the effect is identical, the jar shatters, but on a metaphysical level the cause is very different.

Most change is temporary.  It is against the most basic principles of Dragum Müt for anything to remain constant.  Therefore, change initiated by Müt magics eventually find their way back to the mainstream.  It is possible to prolong the reversal of change, but only while dabbling in Pyrádra magics.  Within the circles of Müt wizards and scholars there are theories that it should be possible to permanently divert an object into a new direction of change, but this has not been proven within the bounds of materiality.
