Spells

Unlike our universe, the universe of Malignity has different laws and rules of physics as we know it. Magic once widely used, has become a lost art.  However, the guardian depending on your personality may wield different forms of magic. Not to mention there are remaining magical artifacts to be found  and natural magical occurrences in nature such a mushrooms with magical effects. There are  two ways a being may manifest magical means. A person whom studies and practices magic tends to use pure magic. A person of high faith (good or evil) or strong mental beliefs tends to obtain faith magic bestowed upon them naturally.

Any hero may use expendable magic items such as scrolls, naturally ocurring magic mushrooms, or imbued artifacts.

Heroes that wield magic must  be:
