Southern Mask Magic

The Healer from Caverns of the Snow Witch

Southern Mask Magic, as practiced by Pen Ty Kora is a rare style of magic that makes use of masks to cast spells. It is mainly focused on healing spells, and increasing abilities like sight and hearing.

Description

This style of magic is famous because, if mastered at the highest levels, it is strong enough to counter even the effects of a Death Spell.

Mask Magic is mainly practiced in Southern Allansia (continent), in Arantis and in the city-states on the coast of the Glimmering Sea. The Temple of the earth-goddess of Kaynlesh-Ma is considered to be the most important learning centre for Mask Magic. However, Mask Magic is also performed in locations elsewhere on Titan. Mask Magic is a demanding process that requires a large investment of time, so many Mask Magicians become hermits to devote themselves fully to their demanding craft.

Notable Practitioners

Pen Ty Kora studied Mask Magic in Kaynlesh-Ma (Arantis), before moving to the Moonstone Hills to practise his art.

Morgana, the "Fell Sorceress of Krill Garnash", was also an expert practitioner of Mask Magic.

Tejari Pri, an adventurer from Agra, was a Mask Magician.
