Wind Magic

Main Idea

Wind magic is one of the more advanced of the elementary magics. It is a mentally straining magic that harnesses its force from your spirit and determination. This makes wind magic useful for overcoming obstacles, move objects around, or restrain things. Wind magic can also be used to create illusions since wind magic is hard to see. The power of this magic can be increased with stronger concentration, determination, or strong emotions like love.

In complete contrast, wind could also be used by those with absolutely little to no care, free-spirits so to speak, as they drift about. This kind of wind magic has much the same ability and potential as the previous, except it is much less methodical, and the way in which it is utilized is different.

Manifestation

This magic can be utilized with either concentration or when trying to accomplish a task. Magic users have been noted to use wind magic by accident when trying move heavy object. They also tend to drift with the wind, or create breezes that weren't there before, sometimes even in silent contemplation, but these are rare.

It also happens commonly to surge about through different emotions such as the others, but unlike fire, it tends to behave differently with different emotions, rather than becoming apparent with a single one and maintaining its quality.

Capabilities

Wind Magi are capable of large damage, especially across areas. The largest expenditure of mana for these magi is the controlled movement of wind, as creating air would be almost pointless, although useful in some settings, such as confined areas, or otherwise those that are poisoned or contaminated.

Novice magi are capable of creating bursts of wind in order to speed themselves up, or create air pockets that shoot out in waves to bash enemies. The most powerful in the craft are able to create hurricanes and unnatural forces of nature capable of leveling and obliterating entire brigades, even platoons, of men in mere moments. For this reason, wind is commonly used in large scale battles, as well as sieges.

Additionally, wind is commonly used by Magi who prefer the use of a blade, as wind enhances the weapon and the user's speed, as well as possibly its cutting edge. While Ice is typically the dominion of water magi, it is not unheard of wind magi to use such techniques as well as chilling and heated waves.
