Magic is the essence of Aetheria, coursing through the world like a living force. It is both a gift and a curse, a tool and a danger, shaping the fractured isles and the lives of those who inhabit them. In VeilRift, magic is not a static force but a dynamic and unpredictable power, transformed by the chaos of the Sundering and the volatile energies of the Aether Streams.

The Sundering left Aetheria splintered, but it also unleashed a torrent of magical possibilities. The Aether Streams flow through the skies, binding the floating isles and empowering spellcasters with unprecedented energy. Yet this magic is far from safe—Rift anomalies, elemental convergence zones, and the ever-present risk of corruption make every spell a gamble.

This section of the Riftbinder Codex explores the many facets of magic in VeilRift, inviting you to uncover its beauty, danger, and boundless potential:

• The Essence of Aetherial Magic, delving into the natural and chaotic forces that fuel the realm’s magic.

• Schools of Magic in VeilRift, where traditional disciplines meet the unique challenges and opportunities of Aetheria.

• Artifacts of Power, legendary relics that hold the secrets and potential of ancient civilizations.

• Corruption and Risk, a sobering look at the dangers inherent in wielding such volatile power.

In VeilRift, magic is as much a character as any adventurer or deity. It inspires awe, drives conflict, and challenges those who dare to harness it. Whether you are a scholar seeking to understand its mysteries, a spellcaster pushing its boundaries, or a storyteller weaving its influence into your tales, this is your gateway to the heart of Aetheria’s magic.

"In Aetheria, magic is not tamed—it is alive, wild, and hungry for those bold enough to wield it. Will you master the chaos, or will it consume you?"
— Nilander Amig, Lorekeeper of Aetheria
