All your life you have been an aspiring wizard. You grew up practicing magic tricks in your house and showing them to your friends, and whenever possible would perform them for an audience. However, you never believed that magic, in the supernatural sense, ever coud exist.
One day you woke up in a bed much more comfy than what you are used to. You slowly opened your eyes, trying to catch every last moment of comfiness that this bed offered, and noticed that your room seemed much more grey than usual. However, this did not bother you, seeing as this bed was so impossibly comfy you were happy in it. You waited and waited, trying to get back to sleep, eventually coming to the conclusion that such a thing was not happening any time soon and decided to get up. You throw the covers off of yourself and take a glance around the room. You find that you are in a fairly large room made out of grey blocks of stone. This shocking discovery seems to make you suddenly panic - entirely forgetting about your lack of clothes.
After realising that you were lacking clothing you reached for the covers of your comfy bed and rapped yourself in them, once again being engulfed in sheer comfort. With your mind slightly more at ease you once again took a look around the stone room, this time noticing a rather large red book encrusted with rather ornate gold decorations sitting on a pedestal in the corner. You strode over towards it, still covering yourself with the duvet, and opened it to a random page somewhere in the middle of the book. Inspection of the page showed that that page was blank, how quaint. You then turned to the first page and it had some rather useful information written on it.
Your clothes are in the next room.
To get there you will have to use magic.
My motives will remain unknown to you.
Here is a general idea of how magic works in this realm:
The world is filled with elements, not those scientific elements youe see in your science lessons but the ones that actually make up the universe. The most important of these are energy, water, earth and air. There are many more but I will not go into those right now. When you see a chemical reaction it is because two or more elements are reacting with one another to create the effect you see. There is also an unusual entity in this universe which has many names: mana, ki, chakra, etc. But most of us wizards just call it magic. When added with to an element it has unusual effects on the elements around it. There are other types of magic as well, but the only one you need to know at the moment is regular magic. Elements in their raw form, not the one you see around you, and magic can be stored in runes, should you not have direct access to them wherever you are when you need to use magic.
To use magic you simply must channel the magic into an element or two and watch the reaction unfold before your eyes. However, creating a nuclear explosion takes practice and many resources, something which most of us wizards do not have. Simply by entering my tower you have been given the power to channel magic as the wizards do.
One more thing you should know is that you can capture an element in a rune by
On the next page is a few sample spells that are very commonly used.
I have also left a few runes under your bed.
You took a moment to take all of this in and then proceeded to take the runes out from under your bed. There were five rocks under your bed. Upon taking the out from under your bed you found that they were actually very, very light and had symbols on them. Three had a picture of a star on them and the other two had a picture of the ocean.
You proceeded to look around the room again and found a section of the wall outlined in white chalk.
What was it you did next?
Regular magic:
Stone + Water = Mud
Energy + Wood = Fire
Fire + Energy = Fire*2
Earth + Seed = Tree
Water + Fire = Steam
Air + Earth = Dust
