MAGIC·遊戲背景
Origin of Magic（魔法的起源）Although magic existed before the written word, it derives from well-known sources. The magic of Fire, Ice, and Storm comes from ancient Titans that ruled the world in the Days Before. The magic of Myth, Life, and Death come from the power of the mind, body, and spirit of the Wizard casting them. The magic of Balance combines all of them.
Each school of magic is very different and has its own philosophy, rhythm, and nature that combine with the elements of the universe.
翻譯：雖然魔法在有文字之前的世界就存在了，但它起源於非常著名的事件。火、冰和風暴的魔法出現在古老的Titan（一個人種）統治這個世界的幾天之前。關於神話，生命和死亡的魔法，來自頭腦，身體和鑄造它們的巫師的靈魂力量。魔法的平衡結合了它們所有。
每個魔法學院是非常不同的，它們有它們特有的哲學，節奏，與自然相結合的宇宙中的元素。
座右銘：能想像的，就能達到。That which can be imagined, can be achieved.
Storm Magic is all about creativity. It represents that flash of insight, or the spark of inspiration that makes you yell, "Eureka!" It is about the pleasure of catching lightning in a bottle. Wizards that embrace the School of Storm, known as Diviners, are driven by the thrill of investigation and discovery, the joys of invention and ingenuity, the power of creating and building. The drawback to such pursuits is the tendency to get lost in the maze of thoughts and being paralyzed to make a decision. Diviners use Verses to charm, enthrall or hypnotize creatures to help them.
Storm Magic has roots in the power of the majestic Storm Lords, the race of Titans that ruled the seas in the Days Before.
The Storm School will train its student wizards to do a lot of damage. Storm Wizards have the ability to unleash high amounts of damage from an early level, which is good, but they place too much emphasis on power, and therefore suffer in terms of accuracy. They also have the least amount of base health points of any of the schools. When enemies cast damage buffs on themselves or damage reducers on a friendly player, storm wizards can remove those spells.
翻譯：風暴魔法都是關於創造的。它包含閃光的洞察力，或讓你喊叫的靈感的火花，“尤里卡（歡呼聲）！”這是關於在一個瓶子裡捕捉閃電的樂趣。擁抱風暴學院的巫師，被譽為占卜師，被由調查發現的激情，歡樂和智慧的發明，創造和建設的力量驅動。這種追求的缺點是容易迷失在自己的思想里，變得難以做決定。占卜師們用魔法的魅力迷住或催眠動物來幫助它們。
風暴魔法的根源在風暴王的能量，在很久以前Titan們統治海洋的比賽。
風暴學院會訓練他們的學生巫師做許多破壞。風暴巫師在等級低時有能力去釋放更高的破壞，非常棒，但是他們用了太多的魔力，並因此準確性不好（翻譯者註：我看不出這有什麼因果關係）。
他們和其他學院的學生相比也擁有最少的健康點（這裡應該是指HP）。當敵人對他們或隊友釋放BUFF攻擊時，風暴巫師能去除這些效果。
座右銘：既然我們被創造，因此我們必須創造。As we have been Created, so must we Create.
Life is spirit, the force of awareness and existence. It is about constant growth and movement. Practitioners of Life Magic, known as Theurgists, are positive, enthusiastic people who seek to appreciate the simple pleasures. At times, however, they can be too flighty or frivolous when circumstances demand otherwise. Theurgists use Songs to breathe life and spirit into a vessel. Unlike other magic, which relies on Summoning, coercing or beseeching, Life Magic harnesses the power of the Song of Creation to create something new. Scholars believe that Theurgy channels the tapestry of music from which the Spiral was created, and that in echoing portions of the great symphony, a Wizard can bring forth and create Life where none previously existed.
Life Magic rests between Fire and Storms, for the spark of Life comes from those two forces.
The Life School will train its student wizards to heal themselves and other players. Life Wizards are given the ability to heal themselves the most effectively, as well as the unique ability to heal other players. Combined with this, they do low to moderate damage attack spells with extremely high accuracy rates. They also possess the sole group heal spell.
座右銘：如果頭腦像蠟燭，那么心靈就像太陽。If the Mind is like a candle, the Heart is like the sun.
Fire is passion, the bright, burning flame of raw emotion sweeping over everything. Those who follow the School of Fire, known as Pyromancers, are tempestuous, quick to anger, and consumed by whatever drives them at that moment. They tend to walk a fine line, having great passion and enthusiasm for one’s loves in life is good, but watch out! Passion can burn you up and consume you, leaving nothing but a charred husk of your former self. Pyromancers use Incantations to dominate and convince Fire creatures to do their bidding.Fire Magic traces its origins back to the fierce Fire Dragons, the race of Titans that ruled the land in the Days Before.
The Fire School will train its student wizards to do damage over time. Fire Wizards pile on spells that will continually do damage to the enemy. Initially these spells will not do much damage, but they eventually stack for possible large amounts of damage in short amounts of time. Fire wizards also learn the ability to stun, which disables the enemy from acting for one turn. They can heal themselves enough to get by, but nothing substantial.
座右銘：蠑螈的眼睛，和青蛙的腳趾，蝙蝠的毛，和狗的舌頭。Eye of newt, and Toe of Frog, Wool of Bat, and Tongue of Dog.
The Magic of Balance is harmony and finding equality in all things. It draws on elements from each of the other schools, incorporating bits and pieces of those other energies to fill in the spaces between the Schools. Wizards who focus on Balance Magic, known as Sorcerers, are broad-minded. In their minds, all things deserve consideration, and there may be many answers to a single question. The drawback to this point of view, is a tendency to seem impassive or indecisive and never willing to embrace a side or position. Sorcerers use transmutation to blend the forces of the other schools for their spells.
sorcery does not draw upon internal aspects of the caster, nor does it rely on external forces. Instead, it is the creation of something new by combining elements in unique and powerful ways.
The Balance School will train its student wizards to be effective in group play. Balance Wizards are most effective in group play because they have the ability to buff other players as well as themselves. Although effective in group-play, they can still sufficiently play alone. They have a little bit of everything, which allows them to surpass most monster resistances, heal themselves a little bit, and buff players.
座右銘：毀了我死亡的恐懼。“Timor mortis conturbat me.” (The Fear of Death Confounds Me)
The Death School will train its student wizards to steal and support themselves. Death Wizards belong to an advanced school, simply because most of their spells take multiple step combinations to use effectively.
Their spells aren’t the strongest, but some have the ability to absorb health from the enemy, which serves as a way for them to heal themselves. They have many preparatory spells that allow them to build up high-damage spells.
Death is about ending and closure. All things pass eventually, and time cannot be held back forever. Wizards devoted to Death Magic, known as Necromancers, understand this fact about everything around them and strive to face it without fear. They try to make the most of their time. Beware, though; some Wizards become morbid or try to cheat death through undeath. Necromancers use Whispers to strengthen their will, and draw on the power of courage to channel their own fears out of themselves and at their opponents. Death Magic sits between Ice and Storms, for the cold energy of undeath draws on those two forces.
座右銘：為了控制未來，必須回望過去。To control the Future, one must look to the Past.
Myth is imagination. The power of the mind, and everything it can create, drives Myth Magic. It is illusion and dreams made real. If the Wizard can conceive it, it can be brought forth and even brought to life. Beware, though, for when imagination becomes too fanciful and whimsical, dreams can escape control and run wild. Wizards of the Myth School, known as Conjurers, use Naming to summon beasts of legend by memorizing and calling out their True Name.
Myth dwells between Fire and Ice, for that is where the shadows lie, and Myths are the shadowy forms of thought made real.
The Myth School will train its student wizards to summon minions. Myth Wizards eventually get four different types of minions, each with a little different function. They have their own moderate damage spells with moderate accuracy, but a lot of their more functional spells deal with buffing, healing, and protecting their minions. They also have the ability of taking down defenses on other players, so if someone is stacking a bunch of defensive spells, a Myth wizard can get rid of them.
座右銘：有了堅持，勝利是有保證的。（堅持就是勝利）“. . . with Persistence, Victory is assured.”
Ice Magic is all about persistence, slow but steady progression and advancement, like the great glaciers forever sliding across the landscape. Those who embrace the power of Ice, known as Thaumaturges, exhibit great patience and strength, but as a result they sometimes become rigid and inflexible. Thaumaturges use Chants to bargain or plead with Ice creatures to serve them.
Ice Magic has its origins in the great Ice Giants, a race of Titans that built massive castles in the sky in the Days Before.
The Ice School will train its student wizards to take high amounts of damage and survive. Ice Wizards have the highest natural health points and defenses which enable them to take large amounts of damage without dying. It is very hard to defeat them. A lot of their functional spells have to do with increasing their defenses and absorbing damage. They also have the ability to taunt enemies, which forces the enemy to focus attacks on them. This can come in handy when playing in a group.
