Light Magic

Light Magic is an element in Chronicles.

In Chronicles
One of the more powerful - yet obscure and rare - forms of magic, Light Magic is often referred to as “magic of the soul” due to how it draws most of its strength from willpower and belief. Aside from the obvious ability to produce illumination, light magic can also create barriers, be used as adhesive for any material, and produce a comforting aura to calm someone in a panic, among other things. It is rarely taught in conventional magic classes, and even the most advanced courses only tend to cover the basics.

Many cultures on other continents outside of Guekorra use light magic much more frequently and with more skillful mastery than most on Guekorra itself. The one race that is considered to be the true masters of light magic was known as the Gen’nyathen, on the continent of Cahgnassica. They were so proficient in the use of light magic that even their very homes were constructed using it, and using it was as natural to them as breathing and speaking.

The higher tiers of light magic are said to be capable of incredible things, such as rebuilding collapsed structures, illuminating the depths of the ocean, and even creating new stars in the sky. Whether or not that last feat is actually achievable is known to very few, and those who do have that knowledge seldom ever divulge it, believing it best for such secrets to remain just that: secrets.
