Magic Spells can be cast by mages. The act of casting a spell is done by harnessing the energy of a Primal Source, notably through a direct connection with the Primal Source via its arcanum or by the energy being provided by holding a Primal Stone or crushing a magic gem. Another option, which is dark magic, is to siphon the primal energy out of the body of a magical creature. That energy can then be directed to act in certain way, often through the use of spoken incantations or runes of light fingered or drawn with staffs in midair. Primal spells are typically cast through Ancient Draconic incantations and runes, whereas dark magic spells are often cast through incantations in which the mage speaks backward.

Notably, when casting a primal spell, the rune follows the mage and moves with them.

To cast primal spells, a mage requires a certain amount of primal energy. The energy of each of the six Primal Sources is stronger or weaker depending on how readily available the Primal is in the surrounding area; for example, Earth magic does not work well out at sea, and Moon magic is at its most powerful on the night of the full moon. If they have a Primal Stone or magic gem, then they can access the full power of that Primal Source regardless of external circumstances. But if not, then their magic is at the mercy of the world around them; for example, some Sky magic spells can only be cast during a storm or at least require a strong breeze. Additionally, the runes must be drawn precisely by hand, or at least by a magic staff, and the magic itself is sometimes tied to the physical ability of the user, just like "Aspiro" requires a mage to blow air from their lungs, and "Manus. Pluma. Volantus." requires a mage to use their arms to fly.

As mages hone their powers over time, they can cast spells without speaking the required incantations.

Moon Magic

Spells of the Moon Primal revolve around illusions, trickery, and concealment, as well as spirits and the veil between life and death.

Moon magic is strongest at night, especially on the night of a full moon.

Creatura Ficta

A spell that creates an illusionary creature that appears lifelike and has a mind on its own, based on a nearby physical object. It translates to "fictional creature".

Curso Perpendiculum

A spell that allows an individual to run on a wall at a 90° degree angle for a short distance. It translates to "running straight".

Fit Invisibilia

A spell cast by Phase Moon Dragons and Moon mages which causes them to fade from sight after using bright moonlight to shimmer. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Fit" and "Invisibilia", which directly translates to "becoming invisible".

Ghosting

"Ghosts" are Moonshadow Elves who are effectively banished by their community for dishonorable actions. The spell prevents the caster from being able to see or hear the person who was "ghosted", and the caster appears faceless to the "ghosted" person. However, "ghosts" can still be seen through reflections. The spell is also extended to any other beings who enter the Silvergrove with a "ghosted" Moonshadow Elf, these other beings would also not be seen or heard by the caster and would also see the caster as faceless. Being ghosted is a unanimous community decision that has to be discussed by all members of the Silvergrove and is not taken lightly. Ghosting is not a mass spell, it only effects the caster specifically, so if any member of the community does not perform the spell, then they would still be able to perceive the ghosted person normally. Ghosting can also be temporarily interrupted when an elf touches hands with those that have been "ghosted", though the requirements are currently unknown.

There is a practice known as the "Ritual of the New Moon" which is the only way a ghosting can be reversed. It involves the ghosted individual going to the Well of the Forgotten where the ghosting spell is cast. Once there, the ghost must face those whom they've wronged and make their case. If the wronged people choose to forgive, then the ghosting will be undone, though only if the decision to forgive is unanimous.

Historia Viventem

This spell allows a mage to create a realistic, shimmering blue illusion that replays events that happened in the past, though only past events that happened in the area where the spell is cast. The illusion shows structures as they once were, objects that were once there, as well as the people who were there and the actions they carried out. The illusion also recreates sounds and repeats spoken words. The caster can choose the point in history they wish to see; Lujanne used this this spell to show Callum the ancient Moon magic rituals of Moonshadow Elves from thousands of years ago, before the split of Xadia, and Callum used it to see Rayla's parents on the day the egg of Azymondias was stolen months earlier. It can be cast using a Moon Opal. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Historia", meaning "history", and "Viventem", meaning "living being". Therefore, the incantation could best be read as "living history".

Illusions

Illusion magic can be exhibited by experienced Moon mages. They are capable of creating illusions; from giant monsters to duplicates of themselves and others. These illusions can also be cast to create disguises for a Moon mage, such as when Lujanne disguised herself as a human. Lujanne was also able to make an illusion appear solid by applying the illusion onto a physical object.

Intes Fores

A spell that summons all the restless and tormented spirits from the In-Between after the portal has been opened. It translates to "inside the doors".

Liga Et Annecto

A spell that is cast to activate Ethari's Wingalings, a device serving to alert him of potentially perilous situations that the user of his Wingaling's counterpart find themselves in. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Liga", "Et", and "Annecto", which directly translates to "bind and connect".

Lumen Saltans

A spell that causes moonbeam lights to shimmer, pop and dance from a mage's hand. It translates to "dancing light".

Lumen Terebramus Acuto

A spell that is cast to enchant gems with the light of the moon during the night of the Harvest Moon, and the gems are used to embed an enchantment into the core of an arrow. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Lumen", "Terebra", and "Acutus", roughly translating to "I pierce with light".

A spell cast by Phase Moon Dragons to manifest their bodies. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Manifestum" and "Corpus", which directly translate to "clear/obvious body".

Manifestum Incorpus

A spell that turns an object incorporeal for a short time. It does not work on people. It translates to "clear/obvious body".

Mors Aperta

Before its destruction by ancient Moonshadow Elves, the Moonhenge was once used by the said elves to open a portal to a world between life and death in the Moon Nexus's lake, allowing living people to visit the otherworldly realm. This ritual involves performing a dance and speaking the Ancient Draconic incantation. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Mors", meaning "death", and "Aperta", which means "to open" or "to unlock". Therefore, the incantation could be read as "open/unlock death".

Mors Spiralis

A spell that can open a portal to the In-Between in the Moon Nexus after the veil that separates the realms has been removed. It translates to "death spiral".

Mortuos Videre

A spell that reveals someone who has been ghosted. It translates to "see the dead".

A spell that disguises an individual as an illusion of choice. It was cast by Rayla to turn Azymondias into a dog to fool Rex Igneous. It translates to "magic dog".

Mystica-Arbora

A spell that allows elves to conceal themselves, their allies, and other nearby objects, such as their camping gear, from unwanted onlookers by disguising them as trees and other natural objects. This cloaking spell was cast by Runaan who crushed a Moon Opal as its power source. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Mystica", meaning "mystic" or "magic" and "Arbora", meaning "tree". Therefore, the incantation could best be read as "magic-tree", most likely because it disguises the caster and their allies as trees.

Partum Mysterium

A spell cast by Phase Moon Dragons and mages which weaves illusion by harnessing moonlight. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Partum" and "Mysterium", which directly translates to "giving birth to mystery".

Spiritus Clavis Aperta

A spell that can be used to give a spirit creature the ability to rip away the veil from the Moon Nexus that separates the living world from the In-Between. The spirit in question must be one that died with unfinished business. It translates to "open the key of the spirits".

Veritas

A spell that reveals the true form of an object hidden by an illusion. It translates to "Truth".

Vis Mendacis

A spell that temporarily gives an individual a huge advantage when telling a lie by putting on the "Liar's Face". The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Vis" and "Mentior", which roughly translates to "powerful lie".

Vis Verus

A spell that temporarily forces an individual to give away their true emotions and intentions by forcing their "True Face". It translates to "true force".

Sky Magic

Spells of the Sky Primal revolve around weather phenomena, such as wind and lightning, as well as sky dwelling creatures, like birds. It is also good for enhancing physical movement. Sky magic is sometimes called "weather magic".

Sky magic is strongest during a storm and at high altitudes.

Angustiae Lautus

A spell that is cast to conjure a small whirlwind that follows its mage's commands. Callum used it for cleaning the dust in Viren's old chambers. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Angustiae" and "Lautus", which translates to "trouble cleaner".

Arcanum Antiquis

A spell that whispers a secret into the air and can only be read by other Sky mages. It translates to "ancient secret".

Arcanum Recolligo

A spell that allows someone to search the air for a secret whispered by another Sky mage. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Arcanum" and "Recolligo", which translates to "collect/recover secret".

Aspiro

This spell allows a mage to unleash a strong breath of wind in front of them, pushing people or objects backward. The power of the whirlwind can be controlled by the caster; Claudia used the spell to turn the pages of a book, while Callum used it to temporarily hold off an avalanche, and later as a shield against the volcanic ash breath attack of the Archdragon Rex Igneous. When using the spell, the caster is able to change its direction. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Aspiro", meaning "I breathe/to blow upon" and can be read as "I breathe wind".

Aspiro Frigis

This spell is a variant of "Aspiro" and allows a mage to generate an extremely powerful blast of ice, strong enough to temporarily freeze an archdragon. The ice explodes forward from where the mage casts it, encasing anything in its way in ice. The etymology of the spell derives from the Latin "Aspiro" (explained above) and "Frigis", which could come from the Latin "Frigus", meaning "cold". Therefore, the incantation could best be read as "I breathe cold wind".

A variant of this spell was cast by Ibis to freeze a target by touching it and cause it to be brittle enough to break apart.

Eritque Arcus Ignus

A spell that causes colorful crystal balls to float and explode into fireworks of multiple shades. It translates to "There shall be a fiery bow".

Fulgur Mortifer

A spell that allows the user to conjure a devastating lightning bolt. It translates to "deadly lightning".

Fulminis

This spell allows a mage to generate powerful electricity, which can be used as a light source or to unleash bolts of lightning at enemies. The lightning collects in the casters hand and is released when they speak the incantation. However, if the mage only knows the rune and not the incantation, a bolt of lightning will be stuck to their hand. The only way of ending the spell without the incantation is to either toss away the Primal Stone, discharge the electricity in a conductive source like water, or simply hitting a target with their hand. The etymology of the spell is derived from the Latin "Fulminis", which could come from the Latin word "Fulmen", meaning "lightning". A variant of this spell was cast by Aaravos to attack multiple targets in one blow.

Fulminis Ruina

This spell is a variant of "Fulminis" and allows a mage to summon a lightning bolt from the sky. It translates to "fallen lightning".

This spell allows a mage to "vacuum" currents of wind into their mouth, drawing the wind away from a specific target. It was cast by Callum to remove the wind from the sails of an enemy ship. It roughly translates to "sky stone".

Levare Ventum

This spell allows a mage to blow a current of wind strong enough to lift someone into the air. Callum used it to save Rayla from falling into the sea and lift her back onto the ship. It translates to "wind lift".

Manus. Pluma. Volantus.

A advanced spell that can only be cast by a few highly skilled Sky mages. It allows the caster to transform their arms into a pair of bird-like wings, which are referred to as "mage wings" by elves, and use them to fly. This spell uses three different runes, whereas most spells only use a single rune, and unlike other spells, the runes need to be physically printed on each of the mage's arms instead of being drawn in midair. It translates to "Hands. Feathers. Fly.".

A variation of the spell turns only one arm into a wing, suggesting that casters can use their free arm for combat if needed. However, the runes, the incantation, or the extent to which a mage can do this has yet to be revealed.

Notably, if only the first half of the incantation is spoken, then only one side of the platform will rise up, while the other side will dangle downwards and the person riding it risks falling back down. It translates to "I rise, I ascend, I climb, I raise, I rise, I rise".

Pax Partans

A meditative state bringing clarity of thought and rest. It translates to "winning peace".

Pluviam Praesidium

A spell that allows a user to create a dome-like barrier above their head that protects them from the rain like an umbrella. Though it appears the user does need to keep their arm upward to hold the spell. It translates from Latin to "rain protection".

The name of the spell is derived from the Latin "Ventus" meaning "wind" and either "Spīra" or "Spīrō" (another form of the word being "Spīrātis"), meaning "spiral" or "breathe" respectively. Depending on which word the spell was based on, it could be translated as "spiraling wind" or "we breathe [the] wind".

In order for it to be cast, it seems to require two mages working together, each drawing four runes. The mages will repeatedly chant the first three words of the incantation, and the runes will move in a counterclockwise direction around the seed, spinning faster and faster to become a set of planetary rings around the seed. The seed will float up into the air, and once the spell is ready to be completed, the seed will unleash a burst of radiant light.

They can be placed on an amulet or imprinted on the sides of the person's neck, which will then transform into invisible gills. It translates to "breathe through the throat".

Amor Stella Vitae

A spell that allows a mage to return a living spirit to a physical body. It requires six simple ingredients: a small amount of blood, which brings the power of the Ocean to create a body; a feather, which brings the essence of the Sky, giving breath; a bone, which marshals the power of the Moon, to pull life from death; roots, which tether the body to the world through the energy of the Earth; a flame, which sparks the magic of the Sun, awakening life; and, to connect the lost spirit, the power of the Stars is needed, achieved with a gemstone made of pure stardust (a Quasar Diamond). But the most important thing is that the spell must be cast with love. If the spell is not cast with love, the ingredients will simply levitate before falling back down.

If the spirit has been fragmented into pieces, then all the pieces must be present before the spell can be cast. If the spirit fragment has been trapped in an object, then the spell will take the spirit out without damaging the object.

The spell's name is derived from the Latin words for "love" (amare), "star" (stella), and "life" (vita).

However, in the only known instance when this spell has been used, Viren, the deceased individual, had already been revived temporarily with a dark magic spell, and this spell was simply meant to make the revival permanent. It roughly translates to "blood of a child".

One of the spell's necessary ingredients is the blood of the deceased's child. The blood of the sacrificed child is used to draw a the spell's rune (resembling an eye) on the ground, making the spell a sort of ritual. While it strongly implies that the deceased's biological child is the required sacrifice, a creature bonded to them through a blood ritual also counts.

Additionally, it does not necessarily have to be the deceased/revived person who sacrifices the child, as long as the ritual is carried out.

Dark Magic

Dark Magic, also known as the seventh source, allows a mage to cast spells by stealing the life and magical energy from plants and creatures, in order to unleash dark power. While each of the six Primal Sources have a unique nature, with their spells reflecting the sources they originated from, dark magic is much more versatile.

Aaravos's Blood Ritual

This ritual was a dark magic process involving Aaravos and Viren, serving the purpose of transporting the elf's caterpillar familiar from inside Aaravos's prison to the outside world, to Viren. First, both Aaravos and Viren gathered a purple cloth, a knife, a spool of golden thread and a sewing needle, a mortar and pestle, a rock, and a chalice containing water. Next, both of them sewed a particular rune into the purple cloth with the golden thread. The rune was unfamiliar to Viren, who himself is a powerful and well-studied mage. Aaravos then drew a glowing purple rune in the air, which transformed into a ball of purple light that he pushed towards his mirror.

The orb of light disappeared when it hit the mirror, while the golden runes sowed into the two purple cloths glow. Aaravos levitated the rock into the air and the cloth encased it, then his cloth unraveled to reveal the rock had broken in half and become a geode, filled with blue crystals. Viren then covered his rock with the cloth and broke the rock in half with the pestle, forming two geode halves. Aaravos and Viren then ground the crystals in the geode and poured the powdered crystals into the water-filled chalices.

The mixture released a purple vapor that flowed into the air. Both of them drunk the potion, which according to Viren, was apparently "surprisingly not terrible". Next, both Aaravos and Viren cut their palm with the knife and bled into their empty mortars. As soon as their blood fell into the mortars, purple flames burned for a second before a swirling red and purple light filled Aaravos's mortar. Aaravos then took a dark purple caterpillar-like creature out of his mouth and it crawled into his mortar. When the creature entered Aaravos's bowl, the red light faded, but at the same time, Viren's mortar glowed red and the creature appeared, lying at the bottom of his mortar.

Trivia

• Ancient Draconic is composed of real-world Latin.
• Dark magic incantations are composed of specific sentences spoken in reverse.
• If a mage is attacked before completing a spell, it will be canceled out.
  • Or in other cases, if two mages cast a rune spell at the same time, the faster individual who act first will cause the other mage's spell to miss or be redirected.
• Some spells are an exception and do not require a rune to be drawn. They instead make use Primal Stones or magic gems. For example, the cast of "Mystica-Arbora" only requires a Moon Opal as a catalyst.
• Like in the case of Aaravos, Archmages have a high-level mastery of magic and are therefore capable of casting spells without an audible incantation.
• An unused spell concept was imagining Claudia to form tendrils from her arm during the battle at the Storm Spire, which would have drawn in the dragons attacking Viren's forces.
• If a dark mage transforms their body, but is injured while in the form, the injury will reflect over once they transformed back, such as when Claudia lost her left leg from the knee down because Rayla severed the equivalent of that when the former had her legs transformed into Purple Pentapus tentacles.
• Some spells have near-identical runes, such as "Fulminis" and "Fulminis Ruina".
• While runes can be drawn by hand or with staffs, they can be carved on objects for certain spells to work.
• The Earth spell, "Crystallum Mordo", which creates edible crystals, is a reference to creeping crystal (which is made of rock candy) from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
• During the search for Aaravos's prison in the Sea of the Castout, Callum used an unnamed Ocean spell that created a spiral current around the mage's feet, or the feet of another person, to help propel them through the water.
• The spells that extract power of several Primal sources requires complex magical circles, unlike those that extract power of a singular source, which utilizes runes individually.
