Magic in the world of Eärwa is the use of the sorcerer's will to forcibly influence reality. Since it is unnatural, destructive and poses a great danger, sorcery is viewed as a terrible blasphemy by the Thousand Temples and is widely condemned by faithful Inrithi. Sorcerous Schools arose in response to this pressure, creating powerful political forces apart from the oppressive religious order.

abstract	Magic in the world of Eärwa is the use of the sorcerer's will to forcibly influence reality. Since it is unnatural, destructive and poses a great danger, sorcery is viewed as a terrible blasphemy by the Thousand Temples and is widely condemned by faithful Inrithi. Sorcerous Schools arose in response to this pressure, creating powerful political forces apart from the oppressive religious order. The human population of Eärwa is mostly unable to use magic. Rather, magic is an unnatural taint that surfaces only in a small amount of people known as the Few. The Schools of magic only allow male practitioners, further dwindling the number of possible sorcerers. Even though those who choose to study sorcery are granted much power, it is mostly balanced out by the forces of religious intolerance and by Chorae, spherical anti-magic objects that will destroy any sorcerer on contact. There are two main types of magic used in the Three Seas: the Gnostic and the Anagogic. While the superior Gnostic art (invented by the Nonmen but mostly destroyed during the First Apocalypse), the inferior Anagogic is the most common. It is interessting to notice that the word Gnostic refers to knowledge in ancient greek while the word Anagogic refers to mystical interpretation. In the other hand, Psukhe means soul in the same language. So knowledge is superior to the soul, that is superior to mystical interpretation in this story.
