Book of Draga Sorólum

[way/form (sound) (silence) (music) (noise)] Draga Sorólum is a seldom studied by the general population of mages, if such a categorization is proper.  Some bards and musicians have happened upon the Sorólum arts by accident, touching upon the perfection of their art. Of some distress to many magicians who would like to explore Draga Sorólum is the unavoidable necessity to write spells (if only a portion) within some constraints of musical notation.  To further complicate matters, few regions record music in the same manner so the study of foreign music is difficult.  Among musicians the key to their music is a guarded secret of trade, not to be passed into the hands of competitors.  Unguarded music is lost revenue.

The spells of Draga Sorólum are categorized much differently than all other spells within the Draga Orkid, lending many to believe that someone with great influence at the Council of Ildûn felt strongly about the magic of music.  What sets Draga Sorólum apart from the other arts is that music and sound are the medium for creating magic, they are neither way or form (unless sonics are the ultimate outcome of the spell, in which case the categorization of "form" fits nicely).  The majority of spells that are included within Draga Sorólum would fit well within other arts and forms except for the use of music in their casting.  This exception to standard dragálim necessitates a variant notation to denote the use of music, usually made with the prefix "sol".  Spells with the prefix are considered to be of the Solórum "way" in addition to the primary "way" (if one exists).  Within canonical Dekàlan dragálim, these are the only shared elements, though in the late period (after 1060 HK) some sirkùli (i.e. Lodunin and to a lesser extent the Kaval'un) had adopted similar notations among the arts.

Grimoire Infinitum

Spells included here are not those owned or maintained by the sirkùli 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.
