== Geneolurgy ==
Geneolurgy refers to the softer side of magic in Drakomere. As something gains reverence, stories are told about it, and its legend grows, the world begins to shift to better accommodate for that. This is only truly observable over the massive timescales Drakomere has. An example of this in action is the Wanderlust. What began as an Ork that decided to travel the world to tell stories has since developed into a mantle of power. Now, when one bears the title Wanderlust, they gain expert knowledge on how to play all instruments, they speak all languages fluently, and gain the knowledge of all stories known by the previous Wanderlusts. This power was not gained via weaving of magic, but rather as the fame of the Wanderlust has grown over tens of thousands of years, Resonance begins to be imprinted from the stories, weaving the Tones to empower those the stories tell about..<br>
Geneolurgy refers to the softer side of magic in Drakomere. As something gains reverence, stories are told about it, and its legend grows, the world begins to shift to better accommodate for that. This is only truly observable over the massive timescales Drakomere has. An example of this in action is the Wanderlust. What began as an Ork that decided to travel the world to tell stories has since developed into a mantle of power. He passed down the mantle to his protege, she passed the mantle to hers, and so on. As it went on, and stories were told of the Wanderlust and the legend grew, the power innate to mantle did as well. Now, when one bears the title Wanderlust, they gain expert knowledge on how to play all instruments, they speak all languages fluently, and gain the knowledge of all stories known by the previous Wanderlusts. This power was not gained via weaving of magic, but rather as the fame of the Wanderlust has grown over tens of thousands of years, Resonance begins to be imprinted from the stories, weaving the Tones to empower those the stories tell about.<br>
Next to no one in the world of Drakomere knows of Geneolurgy, and the few that have their suspicions keep them quiet for fear that spreading the word of Geneolurgy will increase its power and make it more volatile, eventually snowballing to a single madman being able to recreate the world his broken mind sees it merely by raving about it. Geneolurgy primarily uses Khaagaazh, creation energy, to make these changes and alterations.

'''Animation''' is the the black sheep of Evocation, and is the ability to grant inanimate objects some form of consciousness. This gives them the ability to move around and follow instructor's, typically the Mage's. As skill with Animation grows, the instructions can get more complex, and the ability and potential size of the object animated increases. Very powerful and skillful Animation can be used to grant both temporary and permanent sapience to objects and non-sapient creatures, such as making a book or animal a fully realized individual with their own thoughts, personalities, desires, and identity.

'''Enchantment''' is the ability to alter another's thoughts. This allows a Mage to influence the mind, placing ideas and desires that are not inherent to the target being influenced. As a Mage's power and skill grows, the intensity and complexity of the thoughts does too. Initially, they are often simple, such as making someone think "I need to eat" or "these are my friends", to much more complex thoughts about the nature of good and evil, or someone's very identity.<br>

'''Domination''' is the ability to alter another's actions. On a basic level it is sending impulses to a target's brain, causing their muscles to move in specific ways against the will of the target. As the power and skill of the Mage grows, what might initially started as influencing quick, jerky movements, or random sudden shouts, can become long term, total control of a target's actions and speech, while being almost subconscious for the Mage.<br>

'''Contradynation''' is protection from the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and radiation (the Tones featured in Dynamancy). While being directly used against Wardens or Druids using Dynamancy, it can also be used to temporarily negate these effects on a target, such as reducing how much gravity pulls on someone, or from radioactive materials (such as permanent Contradynation wards are typically set up in communities with large populations of [[Polonium Dragon|Polonium]] and [[Indium Dragon|Indium Dragons]]

'''Chronomancy''' is the ability to alter how time affects a person or object, speeding it up or slowing it down. In its simplest form it can be used to slow down time for the Mage, making them appear to move quicker, or to speed up time for the Mage, allowing them to pass through a day more quickly. In more powerful forms Chronomancy can debilitate enemy lines by slowing them down, or enhance whole groups of allies, speeding them up, or even used very specifically, oxidizing and rusting the weapons of an opposing force in mere seconds. Legends are told of incredibly powerful use of Chronomancy fueled by Khaagaazh for traveling entirely into the past or future, but the veracity of these claims is unknown.

'''Graviturgy''' is power over gravity, being able to increase or decrease the intensity of how it affects the targets. In its simplest form it may be able to affect specific people or objects directly touched, while in its most powerful a Mage could suspend entire battlefields in mid-air or bring them crashing to the ground and binding them there.<br>

'''Electromagneturgy''' is power over electromagnetism, magnetic pushes, pulls, pulses, fields, and electricity.
