“So you possess the kind of power that Linvin is seeking?”
Rander asked.
“Both are magic,” Anvar answered, “but the difference in the
level of power is beyond compare. It is
similar to comparing a lake to an ocean.
The Red Sapphire will bring Linvin far greater power than I could ever
hope to channel. Aside from the power
the gem harnesses, it also is Red Magic.”
Seeing their reaction, Anvar decided to continue so that he
might answer some of their questions before they formed.
“Magic is very color-specific. For example, I am an orange magician. This means that when I use my power, I
emanate it in an orange color. Among
magicians, there is a hierarchy based on color.
Each color has an opposite, which is equal in power and cancels out its
counterpart. Different pairs of colors
have different strengths as well. The
most powerful magic is either red or blue.
A red magician and a blue magician would not be able to destroy each
other, because their powers are opposites and cancel each other out. However, they can still do harm to one
another, provided the opponent does not block the incoming magic. They simply can’t completely destroy each
other with magic.
“As I said, there is a hierarchy. Red and blue are the most powerful and
rare. No magic can stand against them
when the magician is prepared. The next
tier down of opposites consists of orange and yellow magic. Again, they cancel each other out and are not
as powerful as red and blue. This level
is more common, but still not widely found.”
“The final level is made up of violet and green. It is likely those magicians, you refer to
Rander, being at fairs and the like. Their power is relatively weak. Such places of amusement however, are the
only places where they may display their gifts without being persecuted. Violet and green magicians are the meekest of
the six but also the most prevalent.
While magicians as a whole are rare, there are far more of the lower orders
than the higher ones.”
