Creating A Continent of Magic
Laying the foundations

Laying the foundations

A world of magic, a place where spells are cast to overturn the world. May the spell be used to fight out long wars of destruction, against the servants of Chaos or for the simple task of moving objects. 

I imagined an endless amount of mana and when I opened my eyes again the emptiness had  become a vast, swirling vortex of mana. The particles all ranged in different colors as per their attribute. Red for fire, Yellow for earth, Green for air, Blue for water, Black for darkness, white for light, and a plethora of other colors. 

Next I sowed seeds into each element of mana and watch them grow,  After a while I grew bored at their slow progress so I started to think to myself. "Since I am the master of this space, can I accelerate time?" 

I imagined that time flowed faster, I felt my body being swept by a gentle breeze and when I opened my eyes again the sight in front of me left me breathless. 

A forest of elements, from trees that were burning to trees that grew underwater. Trees of rock and floating trees that drifted in the wind.  A forest of trees of each kind had grown in the blink of an eye. 

I wandered aimlessly in the forest, each remarkable in its own way.  Yet I found each of the most outstanding trees and marked them  

Each time the a tree was marked something awoke inside of the tree and a spirit came out of it. 

Each time they would raise their head and ask "Give me a name master". 

I was perplexed at first, who would have thought I would be the master of spirit beasts, but to each I name: 

Eremus the Fire Bat, 

Viscera the Water Serpent

Aria the Wind Fox

Orion the Earth Rhinoceros

Kydanri the Light Manta

Scion the Dark Mantis

The six spirits scattered through the continent claiming a land of influence.  Orion broke his stone trees creating a layer of earth for all to settle on. Viscera controlled the roots of her trees to form rivers, lakes and oceans for all life to thrive from. Eremus scattered his flames, allowing his fires to provide protection and warmth.  Kydanri spread her wings, and illuminated the way for all life to see. Scion moved about, hiding all evils in shadows. and Aria moved the stars so that it cycles the night and day, as well as the weather and tides.

I created in my hands buildings and knowledge and spread them across the land, and let time accelerated to form them into ruins. 

The knowledge of Stances, how the position of the body can provide the benefits of controlling the energy within the body and applying buffs to the body.  All of this laid in ruins in the earth temples. 

Magical artifacts crafting and their work stations  how they are enhanced and forged crafted from common and rare materials alike, resided within the fire temples their knowledge kept protected from outside forces.  

The control of mana, how it can influence the body, mind, and environment around you. Call upon disasters of typhoons, tornadoes and even defy gravity, all of this hides within the floating air temples, lost in the winds and endless skies. 

The Void the place were all terrors hide yet an endless space of discoveries, the knowledge to open, manipulate and shape the void sits undisturbed in the darkness temples that lie in the shadows. Hidden for eternities.

The miracles of summoning, calling upon another from long distances or from another plane altogether,  never before had such knowledge been seen in this world, but its subtle presence is seen in the light temples. 

The Creation of life starts with the flow of mana, what better way to understand it than observing the flow of water, the creation of life lays dormant in the flooded water temples, the knowledge forever protected by the beasts that were created by it. 

Now that the land and ruins are set, let there be life
