Unequal Rites	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's not uncommon to see a lot of rivalry between magicians in a fantasy setting, be it due to academic pride, competitive spirits, or plain jealousy. This is especially common if the setting has Mutually Exclusive Magic… and even if it all comes from the same source. Much like the rivalry involved in Magic Versus Science, magic users will be prejudiced against each other based on their philosophy regarding magic, how they study it, and/or how they cast spells. You'll frequently see mages versus wizards versus witches versus clerics versus shamans deep breath versus druids versus warlocks. Put another way, a wizard of Ritual Magic will sneer at a bard who approaches magic as music, casting spells based on poetic rules. And of course both will scoff at the cleric whose magic is based on articles of faith rather than academic or artistic viewpoints. And then you have things like Psychic Powers and Ki Manipulation, which carry the additional question of whether they're magic at all or something else entirely. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Frequently the themes behind the various forms of magic will take one of the various points within Functional Magic. Magicians who follow Magic A Is Magic A will be academic, studious, and always "researching" new spells. Artistic mages usually have some form of Functional Magic that they tap into in unconventional ways. Hermetic Magic practitioners follow ritual like academic magicians but usually ignore the “how” and “why” in favor of theological explanations or even plain old faith. Expect these mages to be on differing sides of Harmony Versus Discipline, with some seeking to “control” magic, others to “channel” it, and some to understand and influence it. Conflict between different schools of magic can also be connected to a setting's regional and cultural divides if different communities all follow their own distinct magical traditions. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Objectively, expect all these magical approaches to be valid in their own right, usually have Competitive Balance, while at times being capable of a Yin-Yang Bomb when various disciplines collaborate. (For example, ritual magic is usually stronger than other magic, but takes longer and requires spell components. Meanwhile, academic wizards usually only need to speak or even think to use a spell, but their craft requires great training, study, and discipline.) One frequent representation of this is the Trash Talk seen when people with opposite Elemental Powers fight each other. Only very rarely will these settings reveal there are Red Mages who combine these varying forms of magic. This trope is named for the Discworld book Equal Rites. Mages that ignore differences and mix-n-match supposedly-incompatible varieties of magic are described under The Red Mage. Compare Magic Versus Science and Hard on Soft Science, since usually one approach will be more scientific than the other. Of course, if you throw in science as well, expect all degrees of deadly projectiles to start flying. Magic or Psychic? covers the conflict between Functional Magic and Psychic Powers, specifically. For a trope that covers a (usually) different kind of prejudice among fantasy characters, see Fantastic Racism. Compare Klingon Scientists Get No Respect. See also Our Mages Are Different for the "participants" of this conflict. Examples:

This is for very good reason, as the creatures that diabolists deal with are the antithesis of creation, and each time one is brought into the world it diminishes the world as a whole-light gets a little less bright, people get a little less kind, and lucky breaks that save lives happen more infrequently.

Unequal Rites / int_169f043b	comment	In StarCraft: The protoss are split into at least two factions, the Khalai and the Nerazim, who have serious philosophical differences, including how they use their powers. The Khalai have a kind of hivemind, while the Nerazim oppose it. The two sides have had multiple conflicts over this. StarCraft II introduces the Tal'darim, a third faction who also do not have the pseudo-hivemind, and fuel their psionic abilities by huffing Terrazine gas. StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm introduced the Primal Zerg, descendants of Zerg that were not incorporated into the Swarm under the Overmind. They consider the Zerg Swarm to be "tainted" and "broken". The Swarm, meanwhile, considers the Primals to be chaotic and directionless.

Unequal Rites / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Used all over the place in Dragon Age: the most obvious example would probably the animosity between Blood Mages and Circle Mages loyal to the Chantry; as the Chantry teaches that blood magic is what led to the creation of the Darkspawn, coupled with the fact that blood magic can also be used to control human minds and bind demons to the caster's will, most orthodox mages take a very dim view of its practitioners, labelling them as Maleficars regardless of whether they've used their powers for evil purposes or not. Meanwhile, the power-mad Tevinter Magisters, who permit the usage of blood magic within their borders, are looked on with a mixture of fear and disgust; Circle Mages will collaborate with them for research projects- especially in the more esoteric fields- but that's about as far as they're prepared to trust them. Orthodox Circle Mages also have a less-than-cordial relationship with Apostates- mages outside the control of the Circle and the Chantry- viewing them as potential maleficars, from the nature magic-wielding Dalish Keepers to shapeshifters like Morrigan and Flemeth. Even the relatively innocuous Hawke family isn't exempt. On the other hand, many factions within the Circles cooperate semi-openly with apostates, either because they oppose the Templars' control over the Circle or because they simply see apostates as the Templars' problem. Even the Circle itself isn't exempt from this sort of thing, having divided itself into a number of different Fraternities with different ideas as to how mages should be governed and how they should use magic... and then, in the Witch Hunt expansion pack it's possible to find a book on Spirit Magic that's been hopelessly vandalized by a proponent of Entropy Magic. and of course, pretty much all of the above mentioned mages bag low opinions of Rivani Seers and Avvar augurs, who practice communion with benevolent spirits. Basically everyone see this as no better than Demonic Possession.

Both wizards and clergy are taught they're incompatible. Many clerics are suspicious about magic, thinking it's often the "black arts" (although wizards don't believe in such a concept-intent is what matters). Wizards on the other hand often resent religious strictures.

The cleric comments that one'd expect rivalry, but clerics of Fire and Sky do exist, and are in fact very important precisely because the mages are focused on destructive elemental magic. When your tower is full of wide-eyed apprentices flinging flames and lightning all over the goddamn place you don't look down on your healer for his different kind of magic. The Iron Ones, the game's Nay-Theist faction, also have clerics with all the same holy miracles that everyone else's clerics have. They're just as confused as you are about why they're there.

Unequal Rites / int_2895e3cf	comment	Spears of the Dawn: There are two forms of magic. Firstly, ngangas are people born with the inherent ability to control ashe, the fundamental energy of the universe, through the use of talismans and ritual. Secondly, the marabouts are people who have been granted the blessing of the spirits and can work miracles by calling on their aid. Generally speaking, marabout magic is subtler and more elegant (it has to work within the natural order, but the details are handled by spirits who know exactly what they're doing), while nganga magic is more powerful but cruder (it can theoretically do anything, but is limited by the nganga's ability to figure out how). The griots form a possible third school, since they can empower, weaken or even strike down others with their songs, but that might be because the authority of griots is so well-respected in the Three Lands that Your Mind Makes It Real.

Unequal Rites / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls: In Dark Souls, other spellcasters look down on pyromancy, considering it to be primitive and unsavoury, which the player's initial teacher in the subject admits is true, to a point. In fact, said teacher came to the Undead-infested kingdom of Lordran in part because it is literally the only place in the world where pyromancers are respected to some extent. By the time of Dark Souls II, pyromancy appears to have lost its "primitive" stigma and is now a respected school of magic alongside the others, but each significant kingdom in the game seems to look down on one particular school and those that practice it. Drangleic looks down on miracles, preferring scholarly pursuits such as sorcery (this might have had something to do with the king's brother, himself a scholar, discovering that Gwyn was a Jerkass God extraordinaire whose fear of humanity's power over the Dark caused him to try and seal it with the Darksign, unintentionally creating the Curse of the Undead). The only prominent cleric in Drangleic was Velstadt, one of the king's two right-hand men. The extremely religious kingdom of Shulva focused on miracles and shunned sorcery, and is implied to be Velstadt's homeland. The Old Iron King's kingdom focused on pyromancy, but it isn't known what they thought about other schools of magic. Meanwhile, hexers seem to think their spells are superior to all other no matter what land they come from, and they have a point, since hexes are more difficult to use than other schools of magic, requiring hefty investment in both Intelligence and Faith since they scale off the stat that is the lower of the two. In Dark Souls III, Karla, a witch specializing in Dark sorceries, disparages miracles since she hates the holier-than-thou clerics who tend to use them. However, with some prodding, she will reluctantly accept tomes containing Dark miracles of Londor and the Cathedral of the Deep.

Unequal Rites / int_2b70efd4	comment	Old World of Darkness: There are various forms of magic that are usually not mutually exclusive (at least within the supernatural race, wizard magic is not accessible to vampires and vice-versa). However, the societies, conspiracies or organizations that practice them look at each other with nothing but scorn and make learning more than one really hard for applicants. The rivalry between the Mages, Tremere, Giovanni and Harbingers of Skulls/Cappadocians in Vampire: The Masquerade is particularly illustrative. The Tremere were formerly Mages and made a vampire copy of their old powers (weak and blood fueled, but still), the Giovanni accuse the Tremere of stealing their necromancy from them, while the Harbingers/Cappadocians did have theirs stolen by the Giovanni. Since it runs on a Clap Your Hands If You Believe reality, Mage: The Ascension is fueled by this trope. Magical wars are fought over convincing the Sleepers that your faction's mystical philosophy is the correct one, some factions even claiming that their enemies use corrupted forms of their own mysticism. The funniest example is the Sons of Ether, who were a member of the non-player antagonist faction until said faction decided to go with light being a self-propagating wave instead of have a medium (the aforementioned Ether). Because the Sons really enjoyed being able to do things like wind-surf through the vacuum of space, this led to a violent rebellion and them joining the protagonist faction.

Sorcery is general-purpose, but each sorcerer has one innate specialty usually based on their personality. They need book learning to do anything complex (so there's quite a market for sorcery blueprints) and mana to power their spells. Mysticism is what albinos- of all species- have. It is entirely intuitive, much more powerful than sorcery, not hindered by any of the limitations mentioned above, and isn't affected by anti-sorcery collars either. However, most albinos in the setting don't live to adulthood because criminals butcher them for Human Resources.

Unequal Rites / int_33728d94	comment	Dragaera divides magic into witchcraft and sorcery. Witchcraft is Ritual Magic mostly practiced by Easterners (baseline humans). Sorcery is a power anyone with citizenship in the empire can use: a powerful artifact called the Orb can be called upon mentally by anyone in Dragaera to fuel a wide variety of spells. Apparently it controls the energy/substance/something known as Chaos, the normally dangerously unstable power behind all magic. (The third kind of magic is direct manipulation of the stuff. Since it tends to get out of control and consume all in its path, trying it is a highly discouraged dead last resort.) Vlad Taltos is a user of both (and tried to command chaos once when the Godzilla Threshold had been crossed — fortunately, Aliera was there to keep it from expanding too much and leaving a Sea of Chaos where the city used to be).

The first is Aura, a manifestation of one's soul, which is widely known about to the point where it isn't considered "supernatural" in-universe, and can be used by anyone with enough training to protect themselves from harm and gain a minor Healing Factor. There is also magic, which has ancient, divine origins and is much less widely known about, and can only be used by eight known people on the planet. Finally, there are the Grimm, physics- and biology-defying abominations that reproduce in pits of annihilatory slime and have no souls, and have no publicly-known source; they are explicitly able to defy the Law of Conservation of Energy, and no mortal scholar can figure out why.

Unequal Rites / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Most non-Divination wizards consider Divination to be useless. Divination is described by Professor McGonagall as "one of the most imprecise branches of magic." Supporters of the subject claim that it is an inexact science that requires innate gifts, rather than something that can be easily taught academically. Those opposed claim that the subject is irrelevant and fraudulent. Sybil Trelawney, the professor of Divination, appears to be totally inept at it, as Hermione never fails to point out; in fact, Hermione drops the class as useless. Sybil's predictions are almost always wrong or obviously fraudulent, with the exception of the two regarding Voldemort, which she has no memory of, and the prediction of Dumbledore's death in the sixth book, which she herself disregards as incorrect. Professor Snape opens his class in the first book by discussing how many wizards fail to appreciate the subtle art and expertise that goes into mixing potions, since it involves no wand-waving or showy displays found in other magic. Humorously mixing this with Hard on Soft Science, Horace Slughorn is at one point seen talking to other teachers at a school party, admitting that every member of the faculty thinks their subject is "the most important." Similarly, Neville's grandmother doesn't want him to take Charms at NEWT level, viewing it as a "soft option". Professor McGonagall promptly reveals this is because she failed her Charms OWL.

Unequal Rites / int_3d48fbe3	comment	In Six Ages, also set in Glorantha but many eons before King of Dragon Pass takes place, the Hyalorings give shamans and priests roughly equal respect, allowing both to be leaders and even clan chiefs. This causes a bit of confusion and suspicion with neighbors who practice one kind of magic rather than both. And then there's the Antler Society, a new shamanic movement whose practitioners work, act, and dress drastically different from traditional shamans. These differences—and especially the fact that the insular Antlers are loyal to each other before the clan as a whole—can cause strife in a clan.

Unequal Rites / int_3e1e745c	comment	The Enchanted Forest Chronicles has: Wizards: Use staves to cast magic, often grow beards, absorb magic from their surroundings to use later through their staffs, and seem to store the magic in them. Nobody likes them, especially not the main characters, dragons in general, or anyone with their own magic. They in turn don't like dragons, fire-witches, or any of the main characters. Magicians: Can cast a number of different spells picked up from studying a number of different sources. Often mistaken for other magic users, such as wizards, which annoys them. Innately curious about other kinds of magic, highly scientific in their studies, prone to Techno Babble, these habits annoy others. Witches: Use cats and objects's innate magic in their spells. Broomsticks are the only reliable transportation for them. They get along reasonably well with other magic-users, but make it a point to keep everyone else scared enough of them to leave them alone. Fire-witches: Innate magic users, immune to most spells, and to fire which they have a special affinity for, can instinctively control spells, even by other casters. Wizards must be careful not to absorb their magic, the results end badly for the wizard. All fire-witches share a few personality traits and most are unpredictable but reasonably hospitable/friendly, but there are a few who are downright nasty. Most people are at least a little scared of any fire-witches they meet. Dragon Magic: Normally only used by dragons, a few others have picked up a few spells of this type. Not the kind of magic most people expect to see, so anyone who recognizes it will be surprised and impressed. Rare enough that there are no hard and fast rules on how its users are seen by other magic users, so they are judged more on their individual temperaments than anything else.

Aliens, and other "powered" heroes (Mutants and Experiments) to a lesser extent, are distrusted until they earn the "superhero" label for themselves; this is doubly the case for the obviously physically-mutated. By contrast, heroes who use Powered Armor, Bionics, Physical Training or other forms of tech or skill are more easily accepted, and Physical Training in particular has a strong blue-collar appeal among the average citizen. Magicians are also accepted, but magic itself is feared by the man on the street - best something left to mystic heroes to deal with.

Unequal Rites / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files generally distinction between magic users are a little bit on the loose side, as they come in all varieties. There are some basic hierarchical distinctions and categories though: Wizard is effectively a title, referring specifically to a member of the White Council and is basically equivalent to having a PhD in magic. Anyone with enough magical talent can try out, although it generally requires a wide range of magical knowledge as well as a substantial raw magical power. The vast majority of magic users have some magical abilities, but no enough to become wizards. Harry uses the term "Minor Talent", and the RPG uses "Focused Practitioner" as well. Most are people with very minor magical power, although it can obviously range up to those just shy of being on the level of a Wizard. A few times the "Whatevermancy" designations (such as Mort the Ectomancer who communicates with ghosts) are used to refer to specific skill sets. Harry goes to Mort for help on a few occasions for ghost-related problems, as his abilities in that particular domain are much better than Harry's. However Mort has basically no magical ability outside his specialization. The term Sorcerer(ess) is used a few times, but lacks a clear cut definition. The implication seems to put them somewhere near the middle of the spectrum, capable of considerable magical feats, but lacking the power or training of a full fledged Wizard. It has also been used in the context of nonhuman magic users like vampires. A Warlock is any (human) who has broken one of the Laws of Magic, ranging from a full on wizard to someone with only minor abilities. Part of the purpose of the White Council is to find Warlocks and, almost without exception, execute them immediately. It's acknowledge that this is a very harsh response, but since black magic almost always makes you go mad with power, it's generally considered the best option.

Unequal Rites / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld stories play with this topic in various ways: Witches versus wizards? There is considerable philosophical difference. Witches are village wisewomen who perform some unintrusive magic, but mostly use tricks and "headology" (psychology), though they're able to do pretty powerful stuff if they need to. Wizards go to Unseen University (i.e. Wizarding School) and spend long years learning, similarly, not to use serious magic unless absolutely necessary. The differences between them are mostly in their public image and in the kind of magic they... aren't using. The short story The Sea and Little Fishes presents the basic difference as basically the same as a hammer and a lever: wizards tend to use the magical equivalent of lots and lots of brute force, while witches tend to use their magic in subtler but equally as powerful ways. Equal Rites examines this, as it's about a girl who has a talent for wizardry, although she's also a skilled witch. When she shows up again some thirty-five books later, she's drifted more towards witchcraft, but still has a talent for quantum-based Magi Babble (the Elasticated String Theory) that would fit well in the High Energy Magic Building. Equal Rites also has the one direct magical combat between a powerful witch (Granny Weatherwax, by general acclamation the most powerful witch in the world) and a powerful wizard (Archchancellor Cutangle, who reached the rank in an era when if a wizard blinked, they died) in the books; they are interrupted after being stuck in a draw for a while and later both just seem embarrassed about the whole thing and try to pretend it never happened - though it should be said that Cutangle is left with an uncomfortable feeling that if it had gone on much longer, Granny would have won. The Shepherd's Crown, the last book in the series, brings things full circle with a boy who wants to become a witch. Although he does prove adept at the medical and "social services" angle, he never manages to do actual witch-style magicnote Apart from being able to fly a broomstick and being able to perform stunts with it that leave Tiffany Aching blinking in disbelief. He does develop a preternatural ability to calm potentially violent situations and encourage people to improve their own lives, which his trainer believes to be something completely new. The plotline is never really resolved, most likely thanks to the book being unfinished when the author Died During Production. As noted above, the point of the wizards at UU is to not use magic. You don't want ambitious, greedy or idealistic people with magic, because as is continually pointed out magic has a price! Recently, though, they seem to be making a better active contribution to society by studying and building magic devices, and other more useful applications, rather than just throwing fireballs around. Aside from the rivalry between wizards and witches, there is also generational disconnect. Whereas old wizards believe that magic is all about rune circles and stuffed alligators, young wizards believe it's about splitting magical particles. Old witches believe magic is mostly psychology, while young witches believe it involves harmonizing with Nature and use of crystals. And, as Granny Weatherwax would say, dancin' around without yer drawers on. All of these views happen to be correct, in one way or another. Necromancy, AKA Post-Mortem Communication, has a bad reputation on the Disc, yet its practitioners are formally permitted a modest degree of misbehavior under University statute. Fortunately, the allowed misconduct only rises to the level of being a bloody nuisance, hence (nowadays) not triggering outright hostility or anyone hunting down rogue necromancers with extreme prejudice. It's accepted that having someone around who (a) knows about this stuff and (b) is willing and licensed to use the occasional low blow or dirty trick in a good cause, is worth any minor annoyances. Added to that, the university having an "official" Necromancer gives them license to crack down on "unofficial" necromancers — with fireballs, if need be. Prior to Ridcully's administration, members of the eight Orders of Wizardry often engaged in taunting and one-upmanship between themselves. Subverted in that by the time the series hits its stride, the existence of these Orders has faded into the background, so we don't get to see what differences (if any) spurred their old rivalries. Most likely everyone who cared wiped each other out in the mage war in Sourcery in any case. All of this rivalry is rather beside the point, however, as the most powerful magic in Discworld history was that of sourcerers, not witches or wizards. (Witches and wizards, in different ways, manipulate the Background Magic Field of the Discworld, sourcerers radiate magic.) Sourcerers' relationship to other magic-users is that they both empower them by their very presence, and scare the living crap out of them. And the most brilliant magic-user still around today isn't a human at all, but Hex, a Magitek Artificial Intelligence which doesn't even have a gender. There are also lesser grades within or affiliated to wizardry: student wizards who fail their final exams are often directed to socially and professionally more lowly supporting roles such as thaumatology. If a basic degree in wizardry equates to a B.A. degree, thaumatology could be seen as the lesser HND or City and Guilds qualification. Conjuring might be, by comparison, an NVQ. Or for American readers, a community college diploma as opposed to an Ivy League degree. There's also a passing mention of "magicians" being the magical equivalent of lab technicians. Furthermore, different academic institutions at which wizards are trained have academic-style rivalries, such that the heads of Unseen, Buggarup, and Brazeneck Universities all trying to one-up one another. Among witches, regional differences between Circle Sea witchcraft and Genuan voodoo exist, but in Witches Abroad those differences aren't actually responsible for the conflict. While witchcraft is generally associated with rural culture, urban witches are revealed to exist in I Shall Wear Midnight having been hinted at in earlier books; the two styles have a Country Mouse/City Mouse relationship. Reaper Man also parodies the arcane/divine debate with an argument between Archchancellor Ridcully and the High Priest of Blind Io (who happen to be brothers). While the two of them are throwing jovial barbs at each other, they have to stop quickly to prevent the other wizards and priests from murdering each other. "Conjurers" on the Discworld are stage magicians who openly admit that they don't use magic at all but sleight-of-hand and other real-world illusion techniques. It's stated at one point that wizards despise them, but that ordinary people admire them simply because they use skills that anyone can develop instead of arcane and unearned talent.

Unequal Rites / int_5755b96a	comment	Since its world is based on DnD 3.5 rules, The Order of the Stick has the same examples of this. In Start of Darkness, Xykon is looked down upon often by wizards for his being a sorcerer, which, naturally, pisses him off. Since this is Xykon, these people tend not to live much longer. Especially notable when Dorukan is fighting Xykon and at one point asserts the superiority of his wizardry to Xykon's sorcery. Xykon responds by casting Energy Drain every turn, while giving a Hannibal Lecture about the advantages of spontaneous casting. At the beginning of Start of Darkness, Xykon is told that sorcery is like a rubber mallet, whilst wizardry is a finely crafted watch. At the end, Xykon says that he'd much rather have the sledgehammer than the watch. Some of his frustration stems from the fact that, while it's never stated in as many words, Xykon himself is not stupid, nor wholly reliant upon brute force, even though his magic isn't as complex as that of research-dependent wizards. In a setting where wizards often waste time looking for exactly the right spell, Xykon uses complex sequences of spells to achieve effects that no single spell can manage (such as using energy drains to de-level someone to the point of losing a level-dependent immunity, then hitting them right in the newly-exposed weakness, or using spells to draw fire to drain resources or open up a counter-attack, or even physically beating someone when the situation calls for it). He wins the vast majority of victories simply by using what he has, rather than trying to grasp for an ideal solution that he lacks. Wizards looking down on sorcerers becomes a recurring theme for the strip, and especially for Xykon — in contrast to the dangerously obsessive V who believes researching arcane magic is be-all and end-all, Xykon figures the power you have is the power you use, and power you can't use is worthless. Incidentally, the page quote references the incident shown in the picture — it was a response to another forumite wondering why Vaarsuvius would be insulted at being called a sorcerer or warlock. Vaarsuvius also expresses disdain for divine magic for about the same reasons they're disdainful of warlocks.

Unequal Rites / int_5b1037f3	comment	A Certain Magical Index has the magic side and the science side (the latter having both advanced technology and espers). To begin with, both sides have a mutual treaty to minimise contact with each other. This results in the vast majority of the science side having no knowledge of magic, though the reverse is not true. A number of magicians look down on science. When science-side characters encounter magic, they often don't believe it's real and/or think it's actually esper abilities. The science side was founded by Aleister Crowley, a legendary magician who founded the modern system of magic but later came to hate it. Aleister considers his personal style of magic to be superior to that used by others because it avoids collateral damage. His primary goal is to wipe out magic. The science side is relatively unified, with no particular conflict between espers with different types of powers - telekinetics and telepaths don't hate each other, for example. There is conflict between espers of different power levels, but that falls outside this trope. The magic side is heavily divided due to conflict between faiths, since most magic is based on religion. The three main magic factions are the Anglican Church, the Roman Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church. These generally don't get along with each other and sometimes reach the point of open combat. Then there are smaller organisations like magic cabals, which are generally looked down on by the bigger groups.

There's the main Priests, Paladins, Druids & Shamans vs. Mages, Warlocks, Necromancers & Death Knights rift, where the former think that all of the latter are reckless and/or evil, risking losing control, gaining the attention of the Burning Legion, joining the Scourge or worse. They are right, but mages think that they are using magic responsibly (and at least a few of them really are), and the former are just luddite fools, and the real villains are Warlocks, Necromancers and Death Knights. Then there's the good warlocks (read: player characters) who think they're strong enough to make a Deal with the Devil without losing control and think that everyone else are naive fools who don't go far enough or lack the willpower to do so. Good Death Knights use their powers to rebel against their former master. Finally, there's Always Chaotic Evil demon-worshipping warlocks and life-scourging Necromancers & Death Knights. Fortunately, there New Council of Tirisfal is set out to subvert this, inviting spellcasters from all races and disciplines to work together for the common good. The issue with mages isn't that they are necessarily evil, but that their power (arcane) is mostly chaos. Even if they are good, and do good, they risk getting corrupted eventually, no matter how responsible they try to be.

Unequal Rites / int_5bd9e7b7	comment	By the time of Dark Souls II, pyromancy appears to have lost its "primitive" stigma and is now a respected school of magic alongside the others, but each significant kingdom in the game seems to look down on one particular school and those that practice it. Drangleic looks down on miracles, preferring scholarly pursuits such as sorcery (this might have had something to do with the king's brother, himself a scholar, discovering that Gwyn was a Jerkass God extraordinaire whose fear of humanity's power over the Dark caused him to try and seal it with the Darksign, unintentionally creating the Curse of the Undead). The only prominent cleric in Drangleic was Velstadt, one of the king's two right-hand men. The extremely religious kingdom of Shulva focused on miracles and shunned sorcery, and is implied to be Velstadt's homeland. The Old Iron King's kingdom focused on pyromancy, but it isn't known what they thought about other schools of magic. Meanwhile, hexers seem to think their spells are superior to all other no matter what land they come from, and they have a point, since hexes are more difficult to use than other schools of magic, requiring hefty investment in both Intelligence and Faith since they scale off the stat that is the lower of the two.

While the Arcanist class itself is the result of an aversionnote Arcanists are described as people with the sorcerous knack for magic who decided to control and channel it with wizardly methods, resulting in a class whose spellcasting method is a hybrid of the sorcerer's and the wizard's, their signature arcane exploits are mentioned as being seen as somehow "cheating" by some wizards.

Unequal Rites / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Depending on the setting and campaign, there can be rivalries or antipathy between practitioners of all the various types of supernatural abilities, whether by their incompatible philosophies, lifestyles or values. Characters who use spells with the Evil descriptor are probably going to be viewed with suspicion at best by those on the upper third of the alignment spectrum. Necromancy can get a similar reaction due to assumptions of Bad Powers, Bad People, which caused problems when 3rd Edition classified the ubiquitous cure ___ wounds spells as Necromancy — the spell family has since been classified as evocations. This◊ story tells of a player playing a solo campaign as a heroic necromancer who travelled to lands ruled by cruel tyrants and taught the people there necromancy so they could overthrow their oppressors, instill democracy, and once all that was over and done with, have the undead thralls do all of the menial labor so that the living had all the time in the world to pursue their true passions. On his deathbed, he used a scrying spell to check up on all of the places he had been to for nostalgia's sake, and to his horror found that a group of heroes had been going around "saving" these lands from the "evil necromancer" and reinstating their tyrannical rulers due to an assumption of "necromancer bad". They also called him the "Arch-Lich", which offended him as he was not a lich and had no plans to become one. When they finally caught up to him, expecting a grand showdown with a cackling Evil Overlord, they instead found a heartbroken, dying old man who tearfully explained to them what he had done, why he had done it, and how they had ruined everything because of their ignorance and bigotry. Turns out the player was not playing a solo campaign at all, but was secretly being used as the Big Bad of another campaign without either party's knowledge. The DM said he played his part beautifully. Beyond Necromancy, the other subschools of magic a Wizard can specialize in can have their own rivalries: Abjurists looking down on Evokers for being too destructive, Diviners disdaining Illusionists for creating falsehoods rather than revealing truth, Conjurers sneering at Enchanters for forcing others to fight for them rather than summoning a like-minded ally, and so forth. Wizards are spellcasters who must endure years of unwavering discipline and intense magical study before they can cast even the simplest of spells. Sorcerers have no training, just an innate talent for magic that manifests naturally — and which they may or may not care to control. The two radically different approaches may cause the two groups to bicker or even war against each other, depending on the setting. Wild Mages, when first introduced in Advanced D&D, were generally looked upon with scorn, distrust or other negative feelings by other magic users. This is because Wild Mages use a unique form of Entropy and Chaos Magic, which makes their spells have a significant chance of failing and exploding in a "wild surge" instead of working as intended. Wild surges are always chaotic, with results that can be anything from funny, to annoying, to potentially deadly. Needless to say, other wizards look down on wild mages both for their inability to retain control and for the practical reason that nobody really likes someone who has a chance of randomly hurling around fireballs, Gender Benders, and clouds of rainbow bubbles whenever they try to use even the mildest form of magic. Wild mages get it particularly bad in the Forgotten Realms, where their magic was born after the brutal death of the local Goddess of Magic and so they are often hated as heretics, blasphemers or religious profaners by both more devout wizards and by the deity's clergy. Warlocks get their spellcasting powers through a Deal with the Devil (or archfey, or outsider, or...), whether by the Warlock themself or an ancestor. This tends to make them feared by common folk and disdained by the likes of wizards who had to work for their powers. The Adept is a spellcasting class meant for NPCs, meaning that it's quite lacking when compared to a proper player class, and likewise "professional" mages in a setting are going to look down upon such "amateurs." The subclass of wizards called witches, who are regarded as a more primitive form of wizardry. Depending on the setting, wizards may consider them savages and a few gods jealous of their powers that they ordered members of their churches to hunt them down. Divine spellcasters and arcane casters occasionally come into conflict. Clerics get their spells by praying to their deity, and thus can view arcanists as godless heathens or heretics, while mages may sneer at clerics for being "given" powers instead of working for them. There's a fair number of Prestige Classes with a "Witch Hunter" theme and abilities to help them combat arcane spellcasters. Within the divine ranks, there can be friction between Druids who practice "natural" magic and more civilized Clerics, and between Clerics and classes like Favored Souls, who are similar to Sorcerers in that their magic comes from their force of personality rather than rigorous study. The Binder class may get it the worst of all. These Willing Channelers get their powers by forming pacts with beings called Vestiges that are less than gods but more than mortal. Wizards look down on them as lazy, foolish, or cheaters, but they are often outright despised by divine casters, who consider them blasphemers and heretics for bowing to false gods. Though Binders are not evil by nature in any sense, the default assumption is that any setting with Binders is going to have organizations devoted to hunting them down, such as the Order of Seropaenes, an (unholy?) alliance between the usually-opposed churches of Heironeous, St. Cuthbert, Wee Jas and Vecna. When followers of the Lawful Good god of valor and chivalry are working with the Neutral Evil god of dark knowledge to come after you, you know you have a PR problem. Psionicists tend to clash with more conventional spellcasters, since a Standard Fantasy Setting is usually ill-equipped to deal with something as "sci-fi" as Psychic Powers. Sometimes this extends to the rules, so that creatures with a resistance to magic have no defenses against psionics, while other times psionics are treated no differently than spells. There can be a divide between dedicated spellcasting classes like Wizards and Clerics, and hybrid (or "dabbler") classes like Bards or Rangers that are much less capable with magic, both in-setting or around the tabletop. And finally, there are a great many Prestige Classes built around defying this trope and blending various types of magic: Mystic Theurges who master scholarly wizardry and divine contemplation, Fochlucan Lyricists who combine the magic of bardic music and druidic secrets, Cerebremancers who cast arcane spells and manifest psionic powers, Anima Mages who supplement their arcane spellcasting with the power of a bound Vestige, etc. Interestingly, Anima Mages are hated even by other Binders because they mercilessly exploit vestiges to enhance their spellcasting, an act which makes them unable to be good aligned (and has earned them the reputation for being the embodiment of every bad stereotype of a Binder. Birthright has magical forces that can be fully understood only by elves, half-elves and blooded humans. They can use True Magic, much like wizards in other settings. All others can only become Magicians and outside Illusion and Divination schools use only minor spells. For the Realm magic even a bloodline isn't enough, it's available only to regent wizards with their own magical holdings. Dragonlance has four types of main magic users: Wizards of High Sorcery, Clerics of the gods, Primal Sorcerers, and Mystics. The Wizards do not get along with the Sorcerers a lot of the time because the Wizards see the Sorcerers as infringing on their territory. The relationship between Mystics and Clerics of good deities is more friendly because of the Citadel of Light, which has both Mystics and Clerics working together to help people. Clerics of Neutral and Evil deities view of Mystics often depends on how their deity feels about Mysticism. And Wizards and Clerics sometimes do not get along because a Cleric, the last Kingpriest of Istar, was the one who tried to kill all Wizards on Ansalon prior to the Cataclysm. And since Wizards of High Sorcery are moon-dependent, there are three sorts of them — one per Krynnish moon. There's also the "renegade" category, which is where wizards who refuse to acknowledge the authority of the orders of High Sorcery are classified. Mostly, it's a place to file wizardly characters or classes that get imported from other game-settings. Forgotten Realms: The Spellplague damaged magic, but also gave room for a "new" generation of spellcasters as many older casters lost their powers. Among the drow, the new class of wizards call themselves "spellspinners", and they have a rivalry with their more experienced but often weaker ancestors. When introduced in 2nd edition, the Maztica subsetting having inferior clerics and drastically weaker arcanists in the form of plumaweavers and hishnashapers was a plot point that helped justify why the not!Conquistadors were able to run roughshod over the setting. It's not a plot point that's aged well, and the 5th edition fan-led revival has taken pains to make Maztican spellcasters just as powerful as their rivals from the mainland.

The movies tend to present it as a basic good vs. evil conflict, but the games show it as more nuanced, with the Jedi adhering to a stoic discipline and the Sith following their passions. There are several NPCs (and PCs, for that matter) who prefer to take a middle ground, seeing both philosophies as flawed extremes.

Being subject to nationalistic propaganda since birth, Firebenders in particular would sneer at Earthbenders, but even Sokka wasn't above saying "fire is a stupid element anyway" when Aang lamented that he had yet to master it. Although Sokka's dislike of firebending may have come more from his animosity towards the Fire Nation than pride in waterbending, which he can't even do. This is an obstacle that Avatars always have to overcome, as the different elements require different frames of mind and techniques. And it proves especially troublesome for Aang when he wants to find a firebending teachernote His two firebending teachers being Jeong Jeong, who was wary of his own firebending abilities, and Prince Zuko, who had to shake off his cultural conditioning to teach Aang. In The Legend of Korra, Korra decides to briefly give up her Airbending training due to her difficulty learning it and declares she doesn't need it to be the Avatar. Since Airbending requires patience and spirituality (extremely important attributes for an Avatar that Korra does not possess) she eventually changes her mind.

The lightest example is the Insufferable Genius mages who insist that their personal discipline is the best/most important/strongest, but they also mix with more common prejudices, such as the disdain for "tribal" magic often found in universities and the near universal view that magic practiced primarily by women is frivolous and weak. The one that gets the worst is wild magic, which most mages deny even exists because it works with natural forces rather than focusing on the mage's own power.

The pracitioners of soul arts dislike clerics for trying to hold them back and treating them like pariahs. The clerics aren't exactly wrong to dislike soul arts though — it's a dangerous power fueled by the souls of the dead that comes from the Old One itself, and the world is a Crapsack World because people abused soul arts in the past. It's heavily implied that the god the clerics worship is the Old One (though they aren't aware of this), which would mean that the "miracles" (which are also fueled by souls) are just soul arts with a more "benevolent" flavor to them.

The rivalry is complicated because she had feelings for him, which may have been reciprocated note The databooks actually call her his former lover, which would imply that he at least slept with her once. ...but she became a threat and had to be sealed away in an alternate dimension by Clow. (In the English dubbed version, she is a former student of his who actually became his girlfriend...and then turned to The Dark Side, whereupon Clow broke up with her and then sealed her away.)

Unequal Rites / int_90f42a9b	comment	All the different cultures in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time have different ideas on how to handle magic: Aes Sedai, Aiel Wise Ones, Seanchan damane and sul'dam, and so on. All think that their way is the Only Way, and that the other cultures' ways are stupid, criminal and/or dangerous. The attitude to male magicians - a necessary evil, or plain evil? - causes a deep split within the Aes Sedai, and the power struggle between different Ajahs may also count. Furthermore, male and female spellcasting are similar in principle, but feel entirely different. Female spellcasters embrace their source of magic and exist in harmony with it, whereas men must seize their source and constantly struggle with it (and that's even when it's not corrupted with pure evil). Similar spells can work on entirely different principles - a man teleports by forcing apart a gap in the fabric of the universe, whereas a woman teleports by blending together two places until they overlap, and each describes the other method as "impossible". Finally, the two types of magic used together are orders of magnitude more powerful than either used separately. There are also differences in power levels, men are on average stronger but can't combine their powers without women, women are on average individually less powerful but can form circles of up to 13 women (and a circle of 13 women can overpower any male channeler even if individually the women can barely channel at all, though 13 men would probably win, even if they couldn't circle). Additionally strength in the different types of magic varies between the genders, men tend to be more powerful with Earth and Fire magic while women are more powerful with Water and Air (the fifth type, Spirit, has minimal variation between genders). Another interesting difference is that cats hate male channelers and love female channelers while dogs are the opposite. The Aes Sedai vs. Wise Ones vs. Windfinder vs. damane split - that is, the place of female channelers in society - is just an instance of Culture Clash, which the series is full of. The different methods required for male vs. female magic is a better example of this, as are the varying approaches to all the non-channeling kinds of magic out there, particularly foresight: wolfbrothers, Foretellings, Dreaming and Min's viewings. We have never seen anyone use more than one of the above and no one agrees on how reliable any of them are. Also not helping at all is the sheer size of the ego of everyone involved, and their inability to admit that they might be wrong. There's also something of a direct conflict between natural dream-walkers (most of them wolves rather than humans) and channeler dream-walkers, and the channelers tend to deride the wolf-blooded as inferior at best, monsters at worst. Also worth noting is luck/fate magic, which usually functions as passive plot armor to the person possessing it, causing them to regard it as something mundane to the point of barely being magical at all, whereas everyone that's not the actual possessor of the magic tends to have their life spontaneously rearranged in disproportionate ways (your wife leaves you and you're raped by a roving pack of demons so that the hat you drop falls in a puddle and keeps a luck mage from accidentally getting his boot wet) so you get a running debate between the one guy that thinks the power's no big deal and the thousands upon thousands that are pretty sure it qualifies him as a god.

Inherently magical creatures, like elves and dragons, are born with a connection to one of the six types of primal magic (earth, sky, sea, sun, moon and stars) and can learn to channel it through spells. Humans, lacking such a connection, have developed dark magic, whereby you extract the magic from a magical creature and use it for your own purposes. Wielders of primal magic consider dark magic to be an abomination, and even among humans it has an unsavory reputation.

Unequal Rites / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Prior to the events of Oblivion, after centuries of being technically legal if frowned-upon, the new Archmage of the Mages Guild, Hannibal Travel, formally banned necromancy. This created a significant schism within the guild, causing members who wished to practice necromancy to leave and join the Order of the Black Worm, a Dark Arts society led by the infamous/legendary Necromancer/Lich Mannimarco. The Mages Guild questline involves dealing with the Order and its rising power. Skyrim takes place in the homeland of the Proud Warrior Race Nords, who have a cultural aversion to nearly all magic save for Restoration, and consider those who use it to be weak. While necromany isn't exactly accepted, it is still practiced somewhat openly through Skyrim, with only religious (rather than cultural) opposition. The recurring in-game book titled "The Black Arts On Trial" is a series of debates on the ethics of Necromancy, and the arguments for and against the Mage Guild officially studying it in a controlled academic environment. While the book does come down on the side that Necromancy is wrong (the book's written by the above-mentioned Archmage), the author notes in it he can still respect the logic presented in the debates and the need to discuss the matter intelligently. Another in-game book that looks at this subject is "Response to Bero's Speech". Bero, an illusionist, thinks poorly of the Destruction School of magic and gives a speech arguing that it should be treated as a sub-school within the the Alteration School instead of a school in its own right. The battlemage Malvisor responds by writing a treatise that points out multiple fallacies in Bero's arguments, argues an illusionist has no place criticising a school he hasn't studied for himself and takes a few snipes against Bero and his favored school of magic in the process:

Artisans, the dog equivalent to Sorcerers or Wizards, cast their "spells" using pieces of Sufficiently Advanced Technology, while Shepherds (Clerics) draw upon their faith in Man channeled through holy symbols that are probably another type of tech. Occasionally they have issues with Shepherds thinking Artisans use relics of Man without the proper respect, while Artisans think Shepherds take it too seriously, but it's nothing compared to cat magic. Cats have an innate ability to absorb the powers of human relics they've studied and broken, anathama to the Man-worshiping dogs. Mancers absorb the same sort of relic used by Artisans during their initiation, and thenafter channel their internalized power through a focus crafted from bones, and unlike dogs they have no qualms against casting "unnatural" magics like necromancy, even if it causes some theological arguments with Ministers. Ministers on the other hand have their power chanted into them by existing Ministers, so they only require their voice to cast spells. A third type of spellcaster, dabblers, are members of other classes that pick up a bit of spellcasting later on, but they need both a bone focus and their voice to cast. And finally Wanderers practice Supernatural Martial Arts.

Unequal Rites / int_a825da3e	comment	The five colors of magic in Magic: The Gathering all have at least one thing in common: They consider their way to be the only right one, two of the other colors are agreeable, if a bit misguided, and the last two are just dead wrong. A prime example would be Blue, the color of knowledge, respects Black for its ambition and desire for control and White for its diligence and drive for order. Green and Red, on the other hand, are mindless and savage and should either be locked down or eliminated. Of course, this is the abstract version of color philosophies: with actual organizations and people it gets more complicated, but the trope remains in force. The rabbit hole can go even deeper when you start getting groups/people with dual color affiliations like the guilds in Ravnica some of which are two colors normally opposite on the spectrum such as White/Black who abide by very strict contracts and will use any means to enforce them or punish anyone who doesn't hold up their end of the contract. They consider basically the entire rest of the guilds as marks to be conned out of everything they own. Things get really weird when you mix even more colors. Cards that require all five colors to cast are some of the most powerful in the game since they embody unification and cooperation between all five of the color philosophies. They are also relatively difficult to play due to their casting costs. This symbolizes that making the five colors cooperate is hard.

The Tremere were formerly Mages and made a vampire copy of their old powers (weak and blood fueled, but still), the Giovanni accuse the Tremere of stealing their necromancy from them, while the Harbingers/Cappadocians did have theirs stolen by the Giovanni.

Unequal Rites / int_b88b182f	comment	The Dark Eye treats magic and miracles as completely separate things. The miracles somewhat resembling "divine spells" were even only introduced late in the 3rd edition. Magic users break into separate schools depending on how they were taught, including guild mages (academic, logical), elves (intuitive), witches (emotion-based), druids, illusionists, shamans and others around the edges. Most of those groups can learn spells, most easily those familiar to their own school, though there are many spells known in more than one, and in addition has special rituals not available to the others—a mage can learn certain enchantments for a staff, a witch can learn curses, and so on. Most groups also have philosophy-based restrictions (e.g. mages have responsibilities to their guild, druids can't work magic while touching iron, lizardmen need a material focus for each spell). The bigger schools are split according to attitudes/philosophies further. There are three guilds for mages—white, grey, and black—with one of the main differences being their attitude to demonology. Witches may have greater cohesion, but the sisterhoods, determined by the species of their familiar, which is tied to their personality, have their differences. Druids are split into those focusing on mind magic, and those focused on elementarism.

Unequal Rites / int_bc033a9	comment	In Pillars of Eternity, animancy (a branch of magical study focused on souls) is regarded with a degree of suspicion and hostility. It's not unfounded — animancy is extremely potent and potentially dangerous. The bad reputation is also justified because the Big Bad and his organization the Leaden Key have spent thousands of years trying to suppress it and keep it from advancing to the same level as the original Engwithian civilization. The original Engwithians were masters of animancy and even used it to create the gods. The Leaden Key fears that everyone discovering their gods are artificial soul constructs would doom civilization. The Wizard companion Aloth is particularly hostile to animancy, considering it dangerous and foolish. This is a hint that he was a member of the Leaden Key.

Psionics are generally looked down upon for having made up a whole new way to imagine magic works that is more restrictive and less useful than any of the accepted theories of mana with no actual advantages (Although thought forms, their conjured spirit equivalent, are free to summon, summon in one action and, unlike nature spirits, are not restricted to one area). Full magicians, who can use both sorcery (casting spells) and conjuration (summoning, binding, and controlling spirits), tend to look down on adepts who are limited to one or the other. There are also physical adepts, whose magic is tuned toward augmenting their body and mind in various ways, which leads to most people thinking of them as street-sams without the chrome.

He seems to have a point; his self-restrictions make him skilled enough to defeat Quigley, even though the latter is a very powerful wizard who ignores most of Duane's rules of engagement. Ironically, Duane happens to be a "tacit caster," a rare individual who can cast spells without speaking the magic words, which his opponent considers unfair and somewhat unnatural.

Unequal Rites / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: Different races having to approach magic in different ways due to their different mindsets and how they open themselves up to Mind Rape by an Eldritch Abomination. So short lived humans takes magic, split it up into specialities and study it in an academic and scholarly manner in colleges to make it safe; the hair brained Skaven ratmen use Green Rocks to power magical contraptions and their minor "wizards" are called engineers; Dark Elves and Chaos worshippers make pacts with daemons — if not the Chaos Gods themselves- while High Elves will elegantly weave the winds of magic around them like a tapestry. For the Slann, the most powerful wizards in the world who taught the elves their thing, magic comes as naturally as breathing. In addition to the species/racial differences, there's also an arcane/divine dichotomy throughout, well, pretty much every civilised realm. In Bretonnia and parts of the Empire, for example, wielding arcane magic is usually grounds for a quick lynching, but the miracles a priest performs aren't a problem (or aren't considered magical). The Empire permits using arcane magic with the training and sanction of the Colleges, but certain peasants and preachers haven't quite got that message. In Bretonnia, all arcane magic is banned, but the situation is a little complex — College-trained mages visiting from the Empire usually get a pass thanks to politics, and the priestesses of the Ladynote the patron goddess of Bretonnia, particularly of Bretonnian nobility technically use arcane magic, but are widely believed to use divine magic. There are no priests of the Lady.

Unequal Rites / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has two schools of magic - Wanded and Wandless. As a rule, Wanded is more controlled and precise, more standardised, and much quicker to pick up, while Wandless takes longer to develop, but is much more intuitive and flexible, and practitioners live much longer. The differences are inborn, and compared to being right or left handed. However, like being right or left handed, they're not exclusive or insurmountable; there are varying degrees of overlap in talent (e.g. there are Wanded wizards such as John Constantine with natural ability at Wandless magic), and they can be overcome through training - moreover, Giovanni and Sindella Zatara, parents of Zatanna Zatara, invented a fused version of the Art. Additionally, Wandless practitioners have a number The Dresden Files style distinctions: Wizard (gender-neutral term, part of the White Council: the In-Universe equivalent of a PhD and/or a Black Belt, though a certain level of power is required), Sorcerer/Sorceress (mid to heavy weight practitioner, but poorly educated), Warlock (also gender-neutral, power-level irrelevant - someone who's broken one of the 7 Laws of Magic), and 'Minor Talent' or 'whatevermancer' for lesser/more specialised practitioners. Wizards tend to look down on all of the others, and not entirely without reason... but the associated arrogance can be their downfall.

Harry uses the term "Minor Talent", and the RPG uses "Focused Practitioner" as well. Most are people with very minor magical power, although it can obviously range up to those just shy of being on the level of a Wizard. A few times the "Whatevermancy" designations (such as Mort the Ectomancer who communicates with ghosts) are used to refer to specific skill sets. Harry goes to Mort for help on a few occasions for ghost-related problems, as his abilities in that particular domain are much better than Harry's. However Mort has basically no magical ability outside his specialization.

Unequal Rites / int_d1d1b9f8	comment	In R. Scott Bakker's Second Apocalypse, all users of magic must belong to a school of sorcery. Each school approaches sorcery from a completely different angle. The schools are all essentially at war with each other for dominance, the secrets of each others' sorcery, or both. Those who are not in a school are called wizards and will be killed by any sorcerer who discovers them, making them extremely rare and short-lived. Women who use magic are called witches and are outlawed, making them also extremely rare. Sorcery is considered an abomination to religious types, but there are also magical abilities granted directly from the Gods, though these are much more nebulous. In addition, sorcery breaks down into three types: The Gnosis, practised by the Mandate. It is far more powerful than the rest and its secrets hotly coveted and jealously protected. Word of God compares it to philosophy, defining the terms of reality exactly and objectively. note It might be noted that R. Scott Bakker has a degree in philosophy and thinks highly of its importance. The Anagogis, practised by most Schools in the Three Seas region. It is less powerful than the Gnosis. Word of God compares it to poetry, describing reality by use of metaphors and comparison. The Psûkhe, practiced by the Cishaurim sorcerer-priests. It has the least raw power, but does have the benefit of being undetectable except by its effects. Word of God compares it to music, which is better at communicating emotion than concrete ideas.

Unequal Rites / int_da92c130	comment	Erfworld: There is rivalry between the various disciplines and eight schools of magic, based on combinations of the elements Life, Matter, and Motion. Many Casters view the world only through the lens of their discipline, such as believing that the world is largely Foolamancy (a position not necessarily advanced by Foolamancers themselves) to believing that the world is all Numbers to numerous other variations. Notably, Dame Olive Branch looked down on any caster whose magic did not include Life in its make-up. She argues with Wanda, a Croakamancer, in which some interesting points are made. Despite being much older and stronger than Wanda, she ends up coming off as the loser of an argument about the value of life. Olive's narcissism, poor arguing skills and her actual low regard for life presumably all teamed up and had her poison her side's casters with Heroine buds, despite them being her side's greatest strength. As a general rule, most casters seem to consider Croakamancy to be distasteful and unnatural. Carnymancy is also disliked, considered cheating by many. There are hints that Hippiemancy is considered useless, which makes sense for a magic centered around peace in a world almost literally made for eternal war. (Although the experiences Wanda and Jillian had with Olive Branch proved that theory wrong in some of the most horrific ways possible.) Dirtamancers occupy a strange niche: They're often considered creeps, but they're also so fantastically useful in the Magic Kingdom that they easily end up filthy rich and high in status anyway. Perhaps the epitome of this mindset are the Thinkamancers, who consider their discipline holy and all others "just" magic. They've made themselves self-appointed guardians of all magic and its secrets (what with being telepaths and enablers of caster fusions) and will kill or cripple anyone who even comes close to finding out a single secret of Thinkamancy, or does something as obscene as researching how Thinkamancy could, for example, collaborate with Dollamancy.

Unequal Rites / int_ecb51a9b	comment	The War Gods features several forms of magic. Wand Wizards use tools to manipulate the magical field, require extensive training and must be human or half-human. They made up the aristocratic class of the old Empire, and the white wizards were all but killed off in the Fall. Black wizards are alive and well, and 'won' Kontovar. They act as a villain for the story. Wencit is the only White Wizard around in the story today, but he's also a wild wizard. The difference between 'Black' and 'White' wizards is in how they gather power and the use they put their magic to. Black wizards make large use of Blood Magic, sacrificing people to fuel their spells. White wizards are sworn not to use blood magic (unless the other person consents to it) and not to use magic as a weapon except against other wizards. Wild Wizards are able to be trained as Wand Wizards, but also have their own internal link to the magic field which allows them to manipulate magic at a much more basic level. Only three are described so far, Wencit, the Emperor Ottovar, who ended the Wizard Wars, and Prince Herrick, who caused the Fall of Kontovar. They also live a much longer life, although not immortal. Mages are able to manipulate the magic field internally to produce powers, they are much more limited in power and versatility than Wand Wizards, but in numbers quite useful. Clerics and champions channel the power of their god, provided they have their favor. Their own strength is essential to this, although evil can cheat by using human sacrifices to summon (the good guys can use this to cheat as well but since killing innocents would obviously lose the favor of their gods this generally takes the form of a Heroic Sacrifice). Elves used to be warlocks, able to use magic naturally, but were very prone to darkness. They were weaker than wand wizards, but required a lot less training. After the Wizard Wars Empress Gwynytha crafted the spell which changed how they accessed the magical field to give them immortality at the cost of their magic. Witches and Warlocks do still exist but are a lot weaker than the pre-immortality Elves were. Most of them don't even realize that they're using magic and just think they have some unusual ability. The other races have different connections as well, mostly preventing them having magic (except for cleric/champion magic). The Dwarves can do psionic stonework. Hradani have the rage as well as strength and speed. Halfings...

Unequal Rites / int_f00d733b	comment	New World of Darkness: This kind of rivalry applies on a lesser scale in Mage: The Awakening, mostly with the Atlantean Orders' distrust of the Free Council and the built-in conflicts with Left-Handed Legacies, Scelesti, and Banishers. Plus some conflict with other racial magic. A mage tends to initially think a Werewolf's spirit-calling ability is cool, until he figures out how it works and then he's bored with your one-trick pony nonsense. In Vampire: The Requiem there are both philosophical and religious reasons prejudicing users of Theban Sorcery against Cruac. The former is practiced by the Lancea Sanctum, an unholy church based off of Catholicism which sees humans as sinful, that vampires can never be saved, and that it is their duty to apply a masquerade friendly Scare 'Em Straight to humanity. Cruac on the other hand is practiced by the Circle of the Croan, an essentially pagan offshoot that sees vampires as divine and that they must be unbound. Most often both attempt to persecute and purge the other for "getting it wrong". Then add the Ordo Dracul into the mix, who in fact would love to learn everything about Cruac and Theban Sorcery possible so they can advance their study of the Coils of the Dragon. Essentially, taking the Suck out of Blessed with Suck via rigorous scientific(ish) study without a care for the religion of either. Naturally, the Lancea and Circle are not amused. None of these groups, however, would tolerate a member with these secrets leaving with their unlife intact. Fan expansion Genius: The Transgression, as usual, just adds fuel to the fire with the Magic-Powered Pseudoscience known as Inspiration. Geniuses trying to explain themselves usually just gets mages inexplicably furious, and the way mages get stronger will cause a Genius to take a long jump into Illumination. Naturally, both sides make sure that one doesn't get mistaken for the other and given incorrect training, that wouldn't quite end well.

Unequal Rites / int_f5c74709	comment	The Silerian Trilogy: The Guardians (fire mages) and waterlords (water mages) are old, deadly enemies. As you'd expect, the latter is more powerful. However, by the end of the series people who have both abilities appear.

Unequal Rites / int_f91de837	comment	Most non-Divination wizards consider Divination to be useless. Divination is described by Professor McGonagall as "one of the most imprecise branches of magic." Supporters of the subject claim that it is an inexact science that requires innate gifts, rather than something that can be easily taught academically. Those opposed claim that the subject is irrelevant and fraudulent. Sybil Trelawney, the professor of Divination, appears to be totally inept at it, as Hermione never fails to point out; in fact, Hermione drops the class as useless. Sybil's predictions are almost always wrong or obviously fraudulent, with the exception of the two regarding Voldemort, which she has no memory of, and the prediction of Dumbledore's death in the sixth book, which she herself disregards as incorrect.

Unequal Rites / int_fab472d2	comment	In Dark Souls, other spellcasters look down on pyromancy, considering it to be primitive and unsavoury, which the player's initial teacher in the subject admits is true, to a point. In fact, said teacher came to the Undead-infested kingdom of Lordran in part because it is literally the only place in the world where pyromancers are respected to some extent.

Unequal Rites / int_fe5a4514	comment	In the Craft Sequence, there are two fundamentally different ways of working magic. First came Practical Theology— making (very binding) pacts with gods, who in return for worship both worked direct miracles and empowered their priests as divine spellcasters. Then, much more recently, the Craft was developed— magic woven from starlight by pure human will. A nearly-genocidal (nearly omnicidal, in fact) series of God Wars ensued between practitioners of the two arts. Craftspeople won, but the terms of the peace were at least tolerable for most Theologians and their surviving Gods.
