How Spells Work

Mage and priest spells work pretty much the same as each other. Each will call upon either the elements or their Gods in the language of the arcane (Latin if you are equating it to something on Earth), gathering the magic around them to focus the power. This does take something from the mages or priests, which is why it takes time for mages and priests to cast more and more spells, as well as more powerful spells, each day before they have to rest.

Those who cast spells spontaneously (with out study) draw the power form within. Clan Warriors, Spellswords, and bards all use single word, or just a few word, spells of power which draw a lot of energy from themselves. They can cast spells the more traditional way, but don't normally need to study. (Though if they do they can cast like mages.)
