-====== Sky ======+====== Skymagic ====== 
 +**Skymagic** bears two elemental charges — [[air]] and [[water]]. Air-charged magic is **aether**, and water-charged magic is **ichor**. 
  
-The **Sky** domain consists in the high places of firmament. Within the world, the firmaments comprise the //Loft// and the //Sea//. Skyfolk of the Loft know the Sea as the Undersky. Skyfolk of the Sea are more commonly known as Seafolk, and the Seafolk know the Sky as the Loftsea. The natural flow of magic in the cycle of the arcana does not differentiate between the two firmaments.+In the cycle of [[:arcana]], water douses fire and begets smoke, which rises through the air to the sky. Aether takes on the flavor of the Sky domain as it reaches its highest point in the cycle.  Aether becomes ichor as air and water form clouds. Wood consumes the light and air of the sky, which in turn begets rain that brings water to sward and weald. 
  
-Skyfolk tend to feel at home in the mountains, plateaus, steppes, and highlands of the world. Seafolk, in turn, tend to feel at home in the island lagoons, bays, reefs, and shallows of the oceans. +Skymagic is a transitory magic of motion and migration. Its folk and its wielders understand aether and ichor intuitively, feeling and guiding the flowing motion of the cycles of nature. [[folk:sky|Skyfolk]] watch and wield these flows by nature, but human practitioners must learn methods of druidry, the guiding of Skymagic by arrangement of physical objects or meditation and performed choreography or music.

-===== Air ===== +
- +
-**Air**-charged magic — or **aether** — flows upward to the Sky. Air-charged Skyfolk include kindreds with affinities for aetherial phenomena, such as wind, lightning, light, and breath. +

-* [[folk:sky:sylphs|Sylphs]] +

-* [[folk:sky:avians|Avians]] +
- +
-===== Water ===== +
- +
-**Water**-charged magic — or **ichor** — flows downward from the Sky. Water-charged Skyfolk include kindreds with affinities for ichorial phenomena, such as clouds, rain, rivers and currents, and blood. +

-* [[folk:sky:nymphs|Nymphs]] +

-* [[folk:sky:undines|Undines]] +
- +
-* [[folk:sky:piscians|Piscians]]+
  
 +Observing the aetherial flows of the heavens, the winds, and the waters gives insight into events and knowledge, distant in both time and space. Manipulating these flows, either by innate affinity or through druidry brings the force of those flows to bear to change the surrounding world.
