Schools of Magic

The world of Boi'cer does not rely on the traditional D&D schools of magic. Instead, each school is associated with both a school of physics known as "Surges" (the Arcane domain) and elemental powers known as "Essences" (the Divine domain). Each class interacts with these schools uniquely, and some spells may be a literal mix of several surges. For example, the spell Fly might better fit thematically using the Gravitation Surge- though this has no mechanical game effect.

There may be more surges and elements, but they have yet to be discovered.

Players can alter the appearance of their characters appearance, gear and spells to better reflect the flavor of the setting. For example, when a character use spells or abilities that teleport them short distances, they could actually be making a high-flying acrobatic leap aided by magic. A character using a spell that paralyses a creature, such as hold person, is actually increasing gravity tenfold for that creature to make it impossible for them to move.
