In the world of Eryndor, Magic was, until recently, an extremely rare thing to behold, and seen with wonder and a little suspicion. It works by accessing what is called the Wellspring, that is, an endless source of primordial energy from the creation of the world. It is more of a work of art than a science, as the practitioner must manipulate the Wellspring to form a spell, and sometimes dam the spring to accumulate the energy for a more powerful one, like a dam holding water before it breaks.
