Battle spells awaken and enhance combat capabilities. Armed with these spells, Battle casters can fight with skill rivaling that of the greatest warriors in the land. They move with enhanced speed and dexterity, strike with uncommon precision, and send foes reeling.
The tradition is thought to be young, developed by orcs who displayed some penchant for magic during their interminable service to the emperor. Even though they are now freed from slavery’s yoke, orcs study Battle magic to blend its power with their considerable combat skills. Some scholars believe the tradition has even older roots, originating among faerie folk who resisted human expansion into their realms. Whatever its source, Battle magic finds practitioners among almost every people in the land.
Discovering the tradition typically results from combat training. When one’s mettle is tested and the blood boils in the heat of battle, sometimes a weapon strike carries added magical might.
