Not quite.
First guy to figure out how magic worked basically used Defiling magic, which took energy from the enviroment without giving anything back. Basically murders plants and causes pain to creatures, though really high-level defilers like the Sorcerer-Kings and the Dragon can actually hurt/kill living creatures just by casting spells near them, too.
HOWEVER, Preserving magic also exists, which takes something from the world WHILE ALSO GIVING SOMETHING BACK. It does no damage to the environment.
The advantage of being a Defiler is that you have quite a bit more power than a Preserver, while a Preserver is basically a bog-standard 2nd edition Mage.
Avangions are super-Preserver/Psionicists, Dragons are super-Defiler/Psionicists.
And there's no way you couldn't "realize" the "true effect" of Defiling magic, as casting it instantly reduces plants near you to ash. |
