Alteration

Alteration belongs to one of the six schools of magic, originating from the Northern Mountains. Its teachings seek to spread their teachings of the world around them, the loops they could tie in, and the gaps they could fill and manipulate as they please. Its scrolls held rules and told stories of men and women who had ruled the world. They tell tales of old, stories of the dark–alluring students from all over the world. Yet, despite their great interest, only a few ever managed to go through its trials. The ability to see the gaps in the physical voids of reality, after all, is to detach themselves from it. They must separate from the anger burrowing in her heart, and the guild clouding their mind–a feat only a relative few had achieved.

Those who did, however, could cast spells that could ultimately wreck the banal conceptions of reality. They hold reality in the palm of their hands, morphing it to however they wish. A light feather could be as heavy as a brick. An entire tree could be as weightless as a flower. A sword that could turn into rubber, or even a cart of coal into diamonds. The mages under the School of Alteration are known to be the walking miracles or catastrophes that could forever change the world to their desires–only sharing the truth of the universe to those who dare follow in their footsteps.

However, as powerful as they may be–even the great have their limits. Unlike the other schools of magic, mages of this skill are bound to the laws of nature, far more than anyone else. They chase the truth beneath the surfaces of the objects they hold, aware of the essence that binds them together. There are limits to what they could do, and if they do not abide by the rules of the scroll, they could only brew chaos from their fingertips. Even then, their omnipotence knows no bounds, having many new and old students to prove such a testament. They are fierce as they are as strong, risk-takers as they are rule-followers. They lie in the balance of many. After all, only those who are aware of the balance of strength and power, know when to stop.

Notable People from the Altercation School of Magic

• Alistair Gardio - A famed man for his ability to combat even the largest of man, despite his short frame. Many would have looked past him if not for his ability to dodge any attacks by facing them head-on. He turned steel into rubber, shields into paper–the first mage who had ever used his power on the battlefield. He garnered many victories for his troops, yet the cold man was said to retreat to his room every night after the war. No one could really read his mind, only knowing him as the force to be reckoned with.

• Maria Reynah - A woman not an age over twenty when she had sunk a dozen boats to prevent them from reaching the shore of the land she had called home. What had once been known to be the Unforgiving Sea, now is better known as the Sands of Reyna–where she had turned the waters to nothing but sand, soaring through a hundred miles from their supposed shoreline. It had taken great powers to do so. So much so, that the Sands of Reyna was where this hero had taken her last stand, before also sinking to her death.

• Evonne and Talis Jenesiah - While the other two notable people had utilized their magic as a form of offense, Evonne and Talis had done the complete opposite. They forge shields with their powers, altering the density of air to form a globe-like structure that could bounce any unsuspecting spears and daggers. It was a way to help their troops and people to recover amidst attack, but it had taken so much of their years away. They had died in their mid-forties, having exhausted their magic totally and draining their life force away. However, it was said that they collapsed with smiles on their faces, knowing that they'll enter another journey together.
