Description
Law spells are some of the most physically taxing spells on Vita, but they are also some of the most rewarding. Dealing with concepts such as gravity, thermodynamics and force, Law spells lend themselves to everyday life much more than other Branches or Conversations. Law mages find themselves able to manipulate the force of the world around them; they can accelerate or decelerate objects, affect the physical properties of the world around them such as weight and gravitational pull, and create pockets of charged particles able to act as barriers against physical force and some spells.
Elementary
Elementary Law mages are just beginning their journey into the Branch. At this level, they are able to affect objects up to their size and weight, and are able to create barriers half that size. At this level, the damage taken by the affected objects is not reduced, though the Law mage may be able to mitigate that with another spell. Here, the spells last up to an hour with intense concentration. Any breaking of the concentration may result in the spell fizzling or having unintended consequences.
Intermediate
At this level, Law mages have begun to stabilize their craft. They can affect objects up to two and a half times their size and weight, and have learned how to reduce damage to the affected objects. Through study of the materials and the natural world, Intermediate Law mages have become wonderful architects, military leaders and magical theorists. With their knowledge of force and gravity, Intermediate Law mages are able to maintain their spells for up to half a day, and with only some degree of concentration. It is at this level that most Law mages learn to levitate themselves, with a sort of pseudo-flight not far behind.
Advanced
Advanced Law mages can be some of the most wondrous mages on Vita. Their ability to move nearly any object has made them sought after in many fashions. At this level, the Law mage can move small buildings short distances, as well as accelerate and decelerate objects up to that size. They can make things weightless around them, or increase the gravitational pull to sometimes fatal means. By this time, Law mages understand the natural world as well as any on the planet, and can manipulate the physical laws in nearly any way they see fit.
After Effects
Law spells affect the resting states of those who use and are affected by them. The Law mage may experience unexpected turbulence, even when not in motion, as well as the inability to start or stop moving after casting spells. These effects typically only last a day or two, but have been known to cause some discomfort for the budding mage.
Long term effects of this Branch include the weakening of one's tissues and the degradation of affected items. Though diminished as the mage's skill grows, repeated Law spells cause faster wear and tear on materials, and many older Law mages find themselves frail faster than others of their age.
