Some people I know wish to just be lore-adherent and not stray too far from your basic 'fire' or 'thunder' spells. I myself and I'm sure others like to be a bit more free with it and create something that breaks from that. Say for example I wanted to teach a class of students about magic theory or aether theory, would there be anything lore-wise I could tell them or would it be up to me to make something sensible out of it. I ask this because it feels like in rp that anything unexplainable or hand-wavy is usually just attributed to the generic term of 'aether'. How did he do that? Aether. How did he just lift that guy up? Aether. I hope I'm being clear in what I'm asking about >.<

Crash Course in Eorzean Aetherology
- Aetherology 101 - What is Aether, the Lifestream, and the Aetherytes?
- Aetherology 102 - Corrupted Aether and Aethersickness
- Aetherology 201 - Schools of Magick, Aether Sources, Foci, and Channeling Aids
- Aetherology 202 - Essences & Permutations: A Treatise of the Six Elements
- Thaumaturgy 301 - Manipulating the Polarities Two, Astral versus Umbral
- Thaumaturgy 302 - The Religion of Thaumaturgy, The Order of Nald'thal
- Black Magic 701 - Origins of the Forbidden Black
- Conjury 402 - Hearers and the Elemental Religion of Nophica
- Arcanima 501 - Arcanum, Carbuncles, and their Many Uses in the Modern World
- Monk 603 - The Brotherhood of the Fists of Rhalgr, and the Magic of Chakras
Those are about all of the magic compilations I've written so far. I have a more in-depth look at Conjury on my to-do list. In addition to the "curriculum" above, here's another couple links that might be helpful about some of the schools in Eorzea that might teach a more broad view of magic.
- Sharlayan's Studium
- Ishgard's Saint Endalim Scholasticate
- Other Formal Education Across Eorzea
As far as going beyond the basic spells we see in game and manipulating aether into new and creative ways - you'd not be the only one to have ever delved into the realm of experimentation!
Encyclopedia Eorzea Wrote:Ser Hermenost de la Treaumaille
Ser Hermenost was also a formidable mage capable of unleashing devastating attacks by imbuing his battleaxe with lightning, a feat which earned him the title of "the Levinlight."Stormblood Lodestone Wrote:On the eastern edge of Abalathia's Spine lies the mountainous region of Gyr Abania.
It is in these elevated lands that people took shelter, when a burning star guided them away from the Sixth Umbral Calamity's treacherous floodwaters. The survivors gathered from near and far, and amongst them were refugees of the sorcerous cities of Mhach and Amdapor.
These sworn enemies buried their history for the sake of the future, and cast aside their vestments of black and white. Upon the remnants of their arts a new discipline was built, and the first red mages stepped forward with rapiers in hand to fight back against the rising tides of destruction.
Hope this helps! ^^
