**Swampmagic** bears two elemental 
charges — wood and earth. Wood-charged 
magic is **soma**, and earth-charged magic 
is **arche**.

In the cycle of arcana, the reaper's blades 
cut down wood, stalk, and 
vine, bringing death to the swamp, 
which bears the rot and decay that 
returns life to the soil of the earth.
Soma takes on the flavor of the Swamp domain 
as it crosses the midpoint of the cycle's
descent. Soma becomes arche as 
time turns wood to soil.

Swampmagic is an emissive magic 
of death and rebirth. Its folk and its 
wielders understand soma and arche 
through a feeling for the power waiting 
within the dead to be released and
recycled. [[folk:swamp|Swampfolk]] 
recycle the powers of the dead as an 
inherent part of their being, but human
practitioners must learn methods of 
wizardry, the harnessing of Swampmagic
released and repurposed from the living and
the dead.

Wielding the power of rebirth either by 
innate affinity or through wizardry releases
the powers stored up within a body over 
the course of its life to be repurposed.
