Magic and the Seasons: Overview
Dynamic Balances: Venleitche » Devlog
Magic divides by the seasons, with each season having its magical nature and those whose souls are aligned to it. Each Season also has an Element aligned with it.
- Spring magic is the strength of the willow. It bends but does not break. It is the magic of fertility, of growth and of life. Spring magic greens the fields, ensures another year of lambs and calves and children. The Season of Air, Spring is fickle and changeable.
- Summer magic is the heat of the sun. While its light and warmth are vital to the natural world, it can be merciless, scorching fields and baking streams dry. Spring and Summer Souls often sing while working their magic. It is cheerful, noisy, the wind in the leaves, the brook splashing, children at play. The Season of Fire, summer is fierce, energetic but dangerous.
- Fall brings the magic of the hunt, of war, and of necessary death. Harvest fills the pantry and the root cellar, but bringing in the fruits and vegetables and grain is just a hunt for quarry that cannot run. The Season of Water, Fall is persistent, inexorable, but gentle in giving the world time to pass from light into dark, from work to rest.
- Winter magic is the strength of the oak. It does not yield. While the magic of Winter can be cold and pitiless, stealing the life from those unprepared for it, its wielders protect the families and freeholds through the dark of the year. Fall and Winter Souls are often silent while working their magic. It exists in the deep quiet of the woods at midwinter, when the snow hushes the world. The Season of Earth, Winter is steady and solid.
Every so often, a person is born who does not belong to any season in particular and yet belongs to all. To the Aseasonal belongs the magic of the Deep Knowing, an understanding of the world and its hidden secrets not accessible to those who wield the Seasonal magic. Theirs is the magic of the pine, the cedar, and the fir, holding steady throughout the turning of the Wheel.
