Free Form Magic

Free Form Magic is a unique form of magic that is utilized by various beings in the world. It is characterized by its reliance on the caster's ability to visualize the desired outcome. The essence cost and difficulty of casting Free Form Magic are determined by the caster's affinity with this form of magic.

Key Features of Free Form Magic:

• Visualization-Based: The caster must clearly visualize the outcome they wish to achieve. This process involves focusing one's mental energy on a specific image or outcome. The clarity and strength of this visualization determine the effectiveness of the spell.

• Essence Cost and Difficulty: The essence cost and difficulty of casting a spell using Free Form Magic depend on the caster's affinity.
