Magic in this world is not an inherent ability but a channelling process that draws from an external, natural source
This source - believed to be the forest’s spiritual essence - is accessible only to those who can attune their energy, or “chakra” to it
Chakra is the life energy within everyone, allowing them to align with the magic flowing around them
Types of Magic? (*WIP*)
healing
Why a staff?
is essential for focusing chakra and drawing in the external magic of the forest
acts as an extension of the animal’s chakra, allowing them to harness and control magic without the energy dissipating
Without a staff, chakra energy is unfocused and cannot resonate with the forest’s magic
Creating a staff: Each species crafts unique staves reflective of their skills and purpose (a deer’s staff might be adorned with leaves and vines, representing growth and balance, while a tortoise’s staff may have symbols that reinforce healing and protection)
Do they have limitations?
Using magic drains chakra, and overuse can lead to exhaustion or even illness
chakra does not regenerate quickly and keeps faction members cautious, as pushing too hard could incapacitate them for extended periods
Without a staff, chakra energy is unfocused and cannot resonate with the forest’s magic
can also result in misfires or unintended consequences, like not attacking properly or not being able to heal someone

Turn this into a book and create a subpage for faction-specific magic here. I like the draft!
