Vedic Magic

Vedic magic is personal magic, drawing upon individual's reserves of essence and willpower to affect smaller changes in their local environment. Vedic magic allows the caster to effectively change local consensual reality using himself as the focus. This magic more than any other relies on consensual reality or what the caster believes to be true and forces the rest of nature to agree with his tenets.

Spell Circles
