​

Next, I leave a small summary where it briefly explains  each sphere, but it is advisable to see  in the  book  "Wizard, the ascension", the complete description of each one, since it is very complex by field and level.

​

• Cardinal / Potestatem :

the study of the primordial power of the universe from which all things, beings, worlds and thoughts are formed, which magicians call Quintessence.

​​

• Correspondence / Nexu:

relationship between places, location, orientation and distances.

​

• Entropy / Chaos:

chance, fortune, destiny and the primordial force of universal justice: death and destruction, the cycle of life.

• Spirit / Anima:

relations with the astral world called Umbra, where the meaning of things becomes real, and with the Spirits that populate it (both those who serve  Gaia  and maintain pacts with the Werewolves, such as those who serve the  Wyrm  and they pretend absolute destruction, passing through the mecha-insectoid spirits and arachnids of the  Weaver  Or the carefree, violent and annoying of the  Kaos).

​

• Forces / Vim:

control over all energies such as electricity, movement, gravity, magnetism, light, heat, radiation, sound ...

​

• Materia / Terra:

manipulation of inorganic matter, ability to alter the chemical qualities of any substance, performing alchemical "miracles" such as transforming wood into gold ... or increasing the pressure of the water until the pipes burst, or perhaps altering the water itself to turn it into acid.

​

• Mind / Mens:

control over one's own and others' perceptions, intelligence and senses. This sphere refers to the conscious part of beings differentiated from their physical and biological part.

​

• Time / Tempore:

visions through time, trances that lead to future possibilities or past events, premonitions, precognitions.

• Life / Vitae:

the biological part of any living being, from bacteria and algae to humans.

​

Each sphere has an ARETE level, which is the understanding you have about magic.

​

In your panel you will see your earring level reflected, which can increase  or decrease  depending on the actions and circumstances performed by you or others in the game.

The earring augmentation can be in a "physical" way visible on the panel or "acquired" temporarily, using different artifacts that  you can find them in the system marketplace.

​

What is the earring for or what does it affect in Lacrimae?

​

As I explained before, it is your level of understanding of magic, a magician with level 3 of earring, will not be able to  perform a 5th-level spell, in case of doing so his magic will explode and both how those around him will be affected by it.

​

It also affects the potency of your magic when performing potions, artifact enchantments, and / or actions on others in the system.
