Light Magic

Main Idea

No one is perfect. All must be purified.That is the basis of light magic. Practitioners of light magic seek perfection. They believe that all of their faults need to be destroyed. The core value of light magic is that those practising it must better their selves, and it is a magic that fills the very being with a desire to change one's self, and indeed, gives the user the urge to make everything better. The light illuminates and purifies, and what it cannot understand or make pure, must be purged.

To practise light magic is to discover faults and to rip them out, to confront personal and infernal demons and rise over them. To rein in weaker human urges and to force them into submission. To control. To be composed.

A light arcanist can manifest burning light that damages the evil around them. Light magic users light the way to good and help to raise others from the darkness. This is a path only taken by those who have a will of iron and a dedication to improving the world around them.

Practise of light magic is the pursuit of godliness. The aim of it is to become an angelic figure of righteousness. A bastion of justice. All must be good.

Manifestation

Unlike dark magic, light magic usually appears only after a concentrated effort to attain it. Someone who desires perfection, someone who wants to save a life, or someone who seeks justice. This is a magic that must be taken. It must be taken with a pure heart and only the best of intentions or it will destroy those that try to abuse it.

The magic is rigidly unforgiving and expects much of the arcanists that use it. It expects those to better themselves and if they fail to do so, it will be a painful experience. It is a magic only for those who can handle it. If someone can not embrace their vitues then light magic will damage them, wreck them, then spit them out. It has no mercy for those who can not be virtuous. This is a gifted magic, coming from The Light itself.

Capabilities

The use of the magic is about as rigid as the people who use it. It cannot be used for evil purposes.

Light is inherently good magic, and it's applications are all good. It can heal the injured, provide sustenance for the starving, soothe the insane and in extreme cases, perform even greater miracles. It's rumoured that those who draw upon the Light can even bring back souls to very recently deceased corpses.

Those who try to twist the light suffer greatly.
