High Magic

This discipline of magic focuses on ceremonial magic where a number of elements and rites are needed in order to cast the desired spell. This kind of magic often requires the help of inhabitants of other planes for the ritual to work. The practitioners of High magic are referred as Wickans (masculine) or Wickens (femenine), refferring at them as witches or warlocks is considered rude in many places. Even though it is relatively easy to learn the basics of high magic, it is considered one of the most dificult magics to perfect, with incanting being considered the most difficult of all.

Schools of High Magic
High magic is composed by four different schools or styles

Necromancy
Necromancy centers around communicating with ghosts and the undead and using their power on rituals, it's the weakest school but also the easier because ghosts and undeads don't have much power.

Gaiamancy
Gaiamancy centers around communicating with guardians or nature spirits and sharing their power on rituals, it is more powerful than necromancy but is also more difficult to master because guardians tend to be very stubborn with strangers.

Archimancy
Archimancy is the magic of the ancient spirits, these are very powerful spirits, but they have also proved to be very difficult to work with, mainly because they are aware that their power may be greately missused, archimancy practitioners have to prove they are worthy of using it.

Daemonomancy
Demonomancy is the most powerful of the high magic schools, but it has to be practiced with great care because demons are very treacherous and dishonest, they may seem to be very cooperative, but often they are just trying to get away with as much as they can.
