What are the 8 elements of magic?

To achieve this we have invented eight elements of magic. Each of these elements - air, fire, water, earth, darkness, light, metal and nature - stands for specific attributes, individual strands of reality and its own philosophical ideas.

Discover the secrets of the Arcane Arts and unleash Eight Elements against your foes!

Tired of endless memorization of spell-lists and strict rules that reduce magic to something mundane and dreary? Do you feel that magic should be a mysterious force, challenging the imagination of players and gamemasters alike?

Then let us welcome you to the Eight Elements freeform magic system! These rules have been devised to be both system- and setting agnostic and should fit into most gamegroups with only minor adaptations. Inspired by the magic from Malazan Books of the Fallen, the Warhammer Winds of Magic and the Chinese teachings of the Five Elements, these rules have been extensively playtested for several years. The main idea about the system is to keep magic “magical”, to give players the feeling that magic is a mysterious thing that can be adapted and changed by their own imaginations, yet still has some established ground rules in the background to support any ideas they might come up with. We wanted the casting of spells to be like a type of music, more art than craft, where the rule system gives you the individual notes but you can choose to combine them and play a new, maybe even unique tune of your own creation. To achieve this we have invented eight elements of magic. Each of these elements - air, fire, water, earth, darkness, light, metal and nature - stands for specific attributes, individual strands of reality and its own philosophical ideas. One element already allows a player to achieve many things, but combining several of them makes everything even more interesting. Let's use an example: the Red Element is not only fire but also heat, friction, speed, passion, pain and the spark of life that sits at the core of every living being. Red magic stands for an existance of strong feelings, impulsive behaviour and passionate beliefs. Like fire the red mages burn bright and hot...yet they might burn out just as quickly if they are not careful. The Eight Elements system rewards clever thinking, imagination and creative problem solving and is best suited for cooperative groups that have a well established trust between players and gamemasters. Rulewise the system requires the use of several groups of D6s, ideally each group with a different colour. You won't need any other dice for it.

Who is the god of evil?

britannica.com - Apopis | Egyptian god - Encyclopedia Britannica

Apopis, also called Apep, Apepi, or Rerek, ancient Egyptian demon of chaos, who had the form of a serpent and, as the foe of the sun god, Re, represented all that was outside the ordered cosmos. Although many serpents symbolized divinity and royalty, Apopis threatened the underworld and symbolized evil. Each night Apopis encountered Re at a particular hour in the sun god’s ritual journey through the underworld in his divine bark. Seth, who rode as guardian in the front of Re’s bark, attacked him with a spear and slew him, but the next night Apopis, who could not be permanently subdued, was there again to attack Re. The Egyptians believed that the king could help maintain the order of the world and assist Re by performing rituals against Apopis.
