That which lies further beyond is the realm of those who are breaking open the most powerful secrets of the school; should you develop them you would be one of the only ones to do so. The descriptions here are not all that can be done with the school, such a thing would cover several books, but a general guide to what you can accomplish at each level.  \nInitiating into any tradition has its quirks, however. The study and harmonization of magic can change a man, adding traits that can be beneficial, can be trouble but in general are just strange marks that mark someone as dedicated to the tradition. These are not optional though post-jump you are permitted to turn them off.  \nNow this is also not the only effects that you can gain from initiating into multiple schools. There are many, many, ways to combine schools with eachother for better effects or to bypass some downsides. For example, studying the Metal and Storm traditions may allow you to bless yourself with a body of metal that works as a super conductor for your lightning magic. Or perhaps by studying Necromancy and Invocation you may learn how to bind daemons into your necromantic creations to strengthen them (and avoid the insanity-causing side effects of hosting another spirit within your body) . Studying Rune and Technomancy might allow you to carve mystical runes on your technological conjurations to empower them. Studying Time and Teleportation magic together might result in you learning how to skirt the edges of the space-time continuum to your advantage. There are simply too many possible combinations to list here and you are encouraged to come up with your own creative applications.  \nDark Magic schools are also noted here. Most magic is amoral and equally as capable of good as evil; healing spells can return the most wicked monsters to health while destructive blasts of elemental energy may save a town from a rampaging demon. Dark Magic is not so. Dark Magic schools are tainted by the Void and call upon it to work, with rare exceptions such as how the priests of Father Death can call upon the Death school safely. Under most circumstances, Dark Magic relies upon incalculable evil to function and unleashes it into the world, thus even the most benign uses of Dark Magic have dark ramifications that go beyond the spell. Merely gaining access to such school and learning spells is enough to corrupt a soul with demonic influence. For most Dark Magic, they do not permanently harm reality,  \nthough they certainly briefly damage the barrier around the universe calling upon the Void the barrier quickly snaps back into place unless Dark Magic is repeatedly cast in a small area or the barrier is already weakened. The greatest spells of Dark Magic schools most certainly do permanent damage with ease and can even punch holes into the Void as a side-effect of their work, which may remain open until magic seals it shut vomiting demons loose to terrorise Urth. Even should the barrier recover from such hideously powerful magic, the land is often poisoned for generations afterwards. Desolation is the most extreme case of such magical pollution; a vast desert that for thousands of years has been corrupted and inhospitable from the Dark Magic used by the faeries and trolls in wars before the time of man. Dabble in this magic with caution.  \nThe Traditions  \nAir: The Air school, also known as Aeromancy, is the study of one of the four fundamental forces of creation. Its magic focuses on shifting the air, and every time an Air tradition spell is cast it also brings a soft, gentle breeze that makes flames flicker and disturbs light objects such as pages of a book.  \nBy purchasing an initiation into this tradition, you gain knowledge of magic that can conjure gusts of wind strong enough","cbCaitfy3IAy56yr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitfy3IAy56yr","pdf",212969,"English","# The Level Structure of Traditions\n## Initiation vs. Mastery\n## Multi-School Combinations\n# The Nature and Risks of Dark Magic\n## Corruption and Void Taint\n## Barrier Damage and Aftereffects\n# The Traditions\n## Air (Aeromancy)\n## Alchemy","[{\"question\":\"What do “initiation” and “mastery” grant in a magic tradition?\",\"answer\":\"Purchasing “initiation” into a tradition grants the first level, while purchasing “mastery” grants the second rank.
