Councilor Phaedra on Forces

This Sphere of magic is as tricky and unpredictable as a cat on catnip. It is as likely to burn the user as the enemy. Some subtle manipulations are possible, making gravity seem slightly heavier and thus a set of stairs leading to the 10th story of a building extremely hard to climb. However, more commonly the energy is used for some very vulgar effects. I was once asked if I could shoot lightning out of my ass, like William Wallace. 
With Forces, this is literally possible, but only if one understands the pattern. The universe is an intricate, woven pattern of energy. Whether it is gravity, heat, electricity, this energy travels around us every day. It is created and destroyed by every action or lack of action we take. The weave of energy is impossibly complex, but a subtle twang along the lines of thread that make up that tapestry can send shock waves to the horizon. The harder one pulls, the bigger the shock.
