Spells Known to the Imperial Mages Guild

This is NOT official, but is merely based on one Magical Theory, possibly one theory of many. Some of the following spells have been declared illegal. Other spells listed elsewhere as illegal are not.

Being a summary of the Creative Magic, or the Spells of Law, taught within the Academy, and a listing of spells of first through fifth level by Triangle

Creative Magic

Magic is performed and spells are bound from the mists of the Ether. Every spell that is to be bound relies on two of the six elements (three, if you count the Ether, which makes each spell a miniature triangle of Law). Only elements with a point of contact can be combined. Magic that relies on the boundaries and connections of the triangles of Law within the star of Magic is "Creative Magic." Creative Magic supports, and is in turn supported by, the Law of the Cosmos. Magic which bypasses the triangles of Law and instead makes its connection around the circle is "Entropic Magic," the magic of Chaos. Civilized realms typically ban studies into Entopic Magic. There are rumors that the binding of entropic spells catches the attention of Chaotic powers, possibly higher powers than the Gods themselves.

The spells of Creative Magic are the spells of Law, the spells which are taught in the IMG and all other civilized guilds of magic.

Ether-Light-Earth
(a.k.a., Alteration)

The magics which bind Light and Earth with Ether tend to be "item affecting" spells. Certain other spells which can manipulate people or creatures through the influence of the Earth (gravity, pressure, etc) are also included. Not every spell listed under the school of Alteration in the PHB is included in this category, but enough are that I have chosen to give that name to this triangle. A few item affecting spells from Enchantment/Charm are also included. Specialist Transmuters must choose between this triangle or the Ether-Earth-Water triangle, and may use any spell from their chosen Triangle as the bonus spell of their school.
