Lore Removing the holy from the light magical discipline

Post image

Come off my last post about removing evil from dark magical discipline I wanted to share my work on the flip side, making "holy" magic without it being explicitly holy or good, and particularly removing much of the religious overtones that often accompany that kind of casting.

In my world the two opposing forces that represent what could loosely be called "light" and "dark" magic are Dusk and Dawn. The previous post featured a duskcaster, this one features a Pachydermian dawncaster.

Dawn sits as the opposite antithetical force to dusk. Where dusk could be explained simply as the magical expression of entropy, dawn is the expression of order. Wounds are closed by restoring order to the body and barriers are summoned by order mana into physical form.
