Outlines
đ§ Arcane Magic System and its Impact on Society
The first paragraph introduces the Arcane magic system prevalent in the world of apocon. The Mages of AA have significantly advanced magic literacy through the use of hronia machines, allowing complex spells to be learned in a fraction of the time. However, this advancement comes at a potential cost, hinting at a grave sacrifice that might be irreversible. The speaker, Z, welcomes viewers to a series on apocon's unique take on magic, emphasizing the cultural interpretation and utilization of the Arcane Soul, which is the source of magic within individuals. The Arcane Soul is likened to a muscle that can be trained to enhance one's magical abilities and overall personal growth. The paragraph also touches on the limitations of the Arcane Soul and the importance of understanding the magic system for the narrative of leveling up in the world of apocon.
đź Modern and Traditional Spellcraft: A Tale of Two Practices
The second paragraph delves into the dichotomy between modern and traditional spellcraft in the world of apocon. Modern spellcraft relies on Arcane focuses, devices enhanced with atonium machines for high magic flow efficiency, which has led to a decrease in the cultivation of the Arcane Soul. As a result, modern spellcasters have smaller Arcane Souls and are more dependent on their focuses. Traditional spellcraft, on the other hand, involves the deliberate growth and strengthening of the Arcane Soul through personal development, making it a more challenging path that yields powerful spellcasters capable of casting magic purely from within. The paragraph also discusses the societal and educational divides that have arisen due to these two approaches, with modern spellcraft being more prevalent in cities and traditional spellcraft being preserved in rural areas by elder mentors.
đ Outra Focuses: Magical Tools of the Trade
The final paragraph discusses the role of Outra focuses in the magic system of apocon. These are specialized casting focuses with atonium cores, designed to increase the efficiency of spellcasting, allowing mages to cast more spells with less energy expenditure. Outra focuses come in various forms, from simple devices to intricate engines attached to gloves or gauntlets. The paragraph explains the mechanics of Outra focuses, which can provide temporary spell slots for casting spells of up to third level, with limitations on usage frequency. The speaker also hints at a crafting system for these magical tools and invites viewers to join their Patreon and Discord community for further insights and future opportunities to participate in apocon-related events.

Transcripts
we Mages of AA have long sought the
advancement of the
Arcane we have achieved it with hronia
machines the magic literacy of our
people has increased tetr fold and
spells that would have taken decades to
learn properly or achievable in just a
few scant years or even less in talented
hands but I I can't help but feel like
we're sacrificing something for this a
sacrifice so
grave we may never recover from
it hey guys it's Z and welcome back to
another video in our apocon Series where
today we'll be talking about the Arcane
magic system that the world utilizes or
more so the world's unique take on the
concept you see I already have a magic
system that is universally applied to
all of my settings however how a culture
interprets this system and therein
utilizes it can vary drastically between
Realms depending on the resources
available to the Denis of that world but
with that out of the way I'd like to
quickly shout out my Discord which you
can join if you're looking for another D
and Community to add on Toto your list
or even playing a game Run by Yours
Truly seeing as I am a professional
dungeon master
it also is the place you'll find the
most information regarding any games run
in the world of apocon with the DND 5
system backing it Additionally you can
become a member of my patreon for free
to gain access to some of the content
featured here in this video today or if
you want to just support the dream that
works too all right so for those that
don't know I have a video on my channel
where I discuss the finer details of how
my magic system works and functions I
highly recommend you go and watch that
video if you'd like to have absolutely
all of the details but for the sake of
brevity I'm going to quickly touch upon
the Arcane magic system of my settings
referred to as the Arcane Soul it is
thought to be the legitimate soul of all
Mortals across the Realms and it's also
the source of magic within one's body
this source of magic is like a muscle
and if sufficiently trained can allow
one to become quite powerful as an
entity this usually comes in the form of
small average and large Arcane Souls
however this does not determine the
potency of one's spellcasting ability
this metaphysical muscle can also affect
one's bodily toughness the sharpness of
their mind and their overall sensitivity
to Magic and since every Mortal being
possesses an Arcane Soul this means that
even if you're a rogue for instance as
long as you live a life life that allows
you to test your abilities and grow as a
person your Arcane soul will reflect
that by growing alongside you this
system also doubles as a narrative way
to explain the phenomenon of leveling up
however there is a very real limitation
in that unless you were
inudenchi levels 3 to four in their
lifetime time those who are
exceptional can achieve level five and
level eight is reserved for The upmost
Talented of this world the top
0.1% and this barrier cannot be breached
in any way unless one goes through
Supernatural means to do so or if they
Venture into other worlds and absorb
their ambient magic thusly empowering
their own but with explanations out of
the way we can get to the fun part
talking about how this magic system ties
back into our high fantasy
postapocalyptic world of
apocon you see the people of this world
developed a rather unique understanding
of magic where in a cus a magically
trained individual will train their
Arcane Soul throughout their entire life
and make up for the potential weaknesses
in their understanding and execution of
the
arcane denin of
ocon realize something that through
Gathering the Arcanum which naturally
flowed all around them and levying this
to an Arcane Focus they could cast magic
in a much less taxing way however this
form of magic does come with its
drawbacks when depending on the
environment to pull on the ambient
Arcanum that surrounds you you also
deprive the environment of its Arcanum
as well almost entirely which depending
on the degree and frequency of use can
dry an area completely of the ambient
Arcanum that flows from the Aurora
arcanas above gifting the land with
magic the main drawback is that those
who are modern spell craftist tend to
have relatively small reserves compared
to their
predecessors this because they aren't
cultivating their arcan souls due to
high magic flow efficiency that the
Arcane focuses allow them to use
this led to most aooni having a smaller
than average arcan Soul through
generation upon generations of this
practice and became known as modern
spellcraft whereas the art of
cultivating one's Arcane Soul through
hard work study and strife became known
as traditional spellcraft modern
spellcraft in the end lowered the
barrier for injury to becoming a proper
Mage within this world however this
created a over Reliance on out focuses
which are Arcane focuses that have been
modified with an atonium machine to
achieve an extremely high amount of
magic flow
efficiency which I'll put the definition
of right
here however the barrier for casting
higher forms of magic also became much
much higher and more difficult to
achieve this is because high level forms
of magic still require a sufficiently
infused us Arcane soul that has been
fostered through growth in order to
achieve that level of magic casting
ability which a traditional spok
craftist wouldn't have an issue
performing these feeds however the
traditional cultivation process involves
a lot of danger as growing your Arcane
Soul also entails the growth of you as a
person and not just your Arcane
abilities which is why within the world
of ocon you can have individuals with
large Arcane Souls that simply do do not
practice magic at all and we're just
born that way their Arcane Soul
contributes to other factors of their
existence like physical resilience and
even indominable
willpower this has created divides
within ocon as modern spell Crafters try
to push spell focus innovation in order
to circumvent their smaller Arcane Souls
that are getting smaller by the
generation or they utilize other aspects
of their environment such as tapping
into the veins of the Aurora arcanus
above to perform great Feats of magic
they themselves would not be capable of
Performing alone and due to the
increasing Reliance on outra focuses and
other high-end magic materials to
achieve their end most modern spok
craftist come from and are taught within
cities on acon our main continent for
our story one would most likely learn
modern spellcraft in aramore capital of
the kingdom of aora where spellcraft is
taught in colleges and by high-end
private tutors for the exceptionally
wealthy and on the other side of the
coin traditional spell craftist use the
old way methods because building one's
Arcane Soul takes time and the barrier
for entry is naturally higher and only
those who are truly devoted to the craft
can benefit from it in the form of being
able to cast magic that derives purely
from oneself without having to gather
much arum from your native surroundings
at all the process of magic flow
efficiency
can then turn any magic practitioner of
any Arcane Soul size into a prominent
and Powerful Mage the traditional style
of spellcraft would be taught mostly by
tutors in far-flung villages away from
the bustling and advanced cities of Vora
it is here that many of the more ancient
practices of spellcraft would be taught
mostly by much older mentors who still
remember and practice these forms of
magic to this day every Mentor has a
specialty which they pass onto their
students which results in seemingly new
and odd spells propping up from the
perspective of a modern spell craftist
the knowledge and teachings most times
equal and rival those that are found
within cities the only difference being
the technology available to them and how
they go about their Arcane
processes if a modern spok craftist is
say struggling with a brand new spell
they may go find a MAG stone with a
similar effect or they might go and find
a specialized wand that simply casts a
desire spell
instead having to now not worry about
this brand new spell they go on to
another fancy that catches their
attention and quickly try to digest that
intellectual information whereas a
traditional spell craftist would try to
understand the spell on a fundamental
level learning from the very base Arcane
language that the spell provides and
learn it that way from the ground up a
modern spellcraft would be prone to
almost backwards engineering a spell
that they may have seen whereas a
traditional spok craftist would remake
the spell from scratch in their own
Vision but going on to outra focuses in
a way from Modern and traditional spell
craftst we have the outra focuses
themselves in lore their special casting
focuses with atonium cores working in
their Construction
there are even focuses that are entirely
a small outra engine that's attached to
a glove or a gauntlet which allows for
easy spell
weaving they would be sought after and
coveted by Mages of all kinds as the
properties of the focuses simply make
casting spells more efficient meaning
the Mage in question has more energy to
further cast more magic you see with the
my magic system depleted spell slots are
usually associated with a type of
physical tiredness
so someone being too tired to cast magic
in world would mean they mechanically no
longer have any spell slots speaking of
mechanics the outr focuses as a magic
system within my world come in three
versions with each one being more potent
than the last the item in its most basic
state reads as
such while luned to this spellcasting
Focus you can use the feature gather
ambient Arcanum as an action
after which you have access to a
temporary spell slot that can be used in
place of a spell slot you already own
when casting a spell this temporary
spell slot can be used on a spell of
first second or third level this feature
can only be used once every 24 hours so
we now have created a basis for how the
atronan magic items will function to an
extent drawing in the ambient Arcanum in
the air and ground to acheve achieve
Certain Magical effects but with the
outro focuses in particular the potency
of the temporary spell slot will
increase as you acquire or upgrade into
better outro
focuses and that does entail a crafting
system which I really really want to
make well that my friends brings us to
the end of our video I hope you guys
have stuck around to the end have
enjoyed everything so far and I look
forward to seeing you all in the future
also don't forget you can find the outro
focus on my patreon as a free member and
can join my Discord to have the first
foot in the door whenever the ocon 2
shots I plan on running in the future
open
up and with that I'll be seeing you guys
in the next one
