Magicks
Magicks typically fall into categories regarding correlation with the realms (physical and psychic). All schools of magick are dependant on their governing stat (INT, WIS, PER, etc.). The higher the stat, the greater the player will be at manipulating magickal forces. Depending on whichever magick school the player chooses to focus on, their strengths and weaknesses in the plains of the Waking realm and Dream realm will be affected. For example, if a player chooses to focus on the art of Pyromancy, they will need a high Wisdom stat, and their path will greatly increase their ability to manipulate the physical (Waking) realm. Considering how much the art of Pyromancy affects the physical realm, the Pyromancers will have great effect on the physical world around them, but subsequently having noticably weaker power in the psychic realm. A contrasting magick school in relation would be the school of Psychomancy, in which the practitioners of the art would focus on mastering their psychic abilities to evoke spells of telepathy, telekinesis, etc. It would be wise to form a party with a reasonable balance of these magicks in mind.
