With the light of the Moon guiding them, they shine this light upon the innocent and send the cutting chill of the night upon their foes. The order also houses the only known knowledge of Lunar magic, something they've safeguarded for centuries and taught no outsiders.
Lunar magic the order kept to themselves(Celestial Might + Rallana's Falling Star + Moonlight Ray + Falling Moon + Lunar Surge + Rallana's Cradle)
The Oath of the Moon(Lunar Mother, Keeper of Moonlit Watch, I offer my blade, my breath, my life. By gleam of silver steel and cold glow of moonlit sky, I vow to defend thy sacred night. Though I walk the path of night, no shadow shall take thy light. May those in need find comfort in soothing moonlight, while those who dwell in darkness fear celestial might.)
Moonlight Ray(Moonlight Ray is a spell in which the user fires a beam of mana and frost in a straight line toward their target.)
Celestial Might(Known only by the Mystic Knights serving under Rallana, Celestial Might is a spell which fortifies the users defense and strength, covering them in a thin layer of magical ice blessed by Rallana herself.)
Lunar Surge(A more unstable but powerful version of Moonlight Ray, the user fires a massive ice cold beam of mana toward their target. This spell is rarely used by followers of Rallana due to it potential for destruction.)
Falling Moon(The most powerful of Moon spells, the user conjures a massive sphere of frost and mana before slamming it back into the earth in a massive explosion of ice and mana.)
Rallana's Falling Star(A spell forged by both Rallana and her twin goddess Tellana, this spell pulls a star from the very skies and encases it in frost as it's brought hurdling into the planet below. Immensely powerful and difficult to cast, the last man who used it died from the exertion of it.)

- #33Blood Magic
Keys: Vampire Magic, Hemomancy, Blood Magic
Blood Magic, or Hemomancy, is a forbidden magic that is predominantly used by vampires, as it would kill most mortals who attempt to harness it. While weaker vampires are capable of using basic blood magic like Blood Siphon, only Purebloods can effectively wield the more powerful spells without fear of death.
Blood Magic spells(Crimson Orb + Blood Seed + Profane Moon + Crimson Atronach + Blood Missile + Rain of Blood + Nihil + Festering Swarm + Blood Thorn)
Crimson Orb: A spell only able to be used by either master Blood Mages or Pureblood Vampires, Crimson Orb is a spell which uses the blood of oneself or another to form a perfect sphere of blood infused with mana to then launch as a projectile. The sphere moves at a velocity that can pierce straight through a human body, or even penetrate a Dragons hide.)
Blood Seed(Wieldable only by Pureblood Vampires or master Blood Mages, Blood Seed requires sacrificing one's own blood to 'plant a seed' within another, which then causes the victim's blood to burst from within them and crystalize, piercing through their flesh from the inside and sprouting like a crystalline tree branch.)
Profane Moon(A spell that was created by Alyssa herself, Profane Mood is a last resort spell only castable by herself due to her immense power and age. Profane Moon is used to eclipse the sun itself for a time, Alyssa would launch a Crimson Orb toward the sun where it then eclipses it with a massive red sphere, allowing her and any other vampire to walk in the sunlight for the duration of the spell.)
Crimson Atronach(Wieldable by any non-feral Bampire and experienced Blood Mages, Crimson Atronach requires sacrificing one's own blood or the blood of another to form a guardian of crystalized blood which then accompanies the caster as a thrall.)
Rain of Blood(Wieldable by Pureblood Vampires and master BLood Mages, the caster draws blood from a several corpses to form a corrupted stormcloud that rains boiling hot blood across a wide area.)?
Nihil(A spell never before wielded in Maldorr and likely difficult for even a Pureblood to comprehend, Nihil envelops a wide area in a red fog that then repeatedly saps the blood from all life within the fog.)
Festering Swarm(The simplest and easiest hemomancy spell to cast, Festering Swarm conjures a swarm of corrupted mosquitos to drain the blood of their target.)
Blood Thorn(The most bizarre form of Blood Magic, it seems it can only be wielded by those carrying Vampiric blood while not being vampires themselves. Blood Thorns are conjured from one's own blood in a variety of ways and their potential is seemingly limitless.)
Blood Missile(An easier spell to cast, Blood Missile uses the blood of one's self to create a crystalized projectile of hardened blood to launch at their target.)

Only those either gifted with magic are allowed to attend the university. The university is one of the few institutions in the kingdom that is completely neutral, and does not answer to the royal family, this is due to a several century old truce between an old Arch Mage and the first king of Maldorr that granted the Magi complete autonomy.
