Energy Magic

Energy magic is an advanced form of magic which deals with most forms of energy. Energy mages are able to manipulate thermal energy, kinetic energy, electrical energy, and chemical energy, and can convert one type into another. Energy mages who previously studied Electric Magic continue to possess the skills that they developed in that area.

Progression of Skills
Beginning energy I mages are able to manipulate thermal energy and electrical energy fairly well, and can easily convert between them. Their control over kinetic and chemical energy is weaker, but with effort they can manipulate them. Energy I mages can focus on controlling each type of energy, as well as each possible conversion. Powerful energy I mages can easily use turn their own magical energy into thermal, electrical, chemical, or kinetic energy, and can rapidly manipulate large amounts of energy or convert it from one form to another. At this point, an energy I archsage may advance to a mage of Energy II. Energy II is similar to energy I, but it also includes some control over life force and psychic energy. Energy II mages are able to use their magical energy to create physical energies, just like energy I mages, but they can also convert those physical energies into life force and absorb it. This conversion is not entirely efficient - almost half of the energy converted will not be absorbed, but will instead be dissipated - and it is also difficult to convert large amounts of energy into life force. Energy II mages almost universally begin to develop psychic powers, which allows them to convert both to and from their own psychic energy. If they choose to study possession, they can control the life force and psychic energy of any being that they have possessed. Powerful energy II mages learn how to convert matter into its equivalent energy, although this is difficult. Extremely strong energy II mages can effectively wield energy in its many forms, and can easily change it from any form into any other. At this point, they are given the title of archsage, and can begin to study Time Magic, one of the strongest magics in existence.
