= Limits and costs of magic =

'''Limits and costs of magic''' in Faeloria define the practical, legal, and cosmological constraints on magical power. Magic is not unlimited. See [[Magic in Faeloria]] for the broader system.

== Personal limits ==

Casters can tire or overdraw. Where magic is stored in objects such as '''[[Runic Power Stones]]''' carved from '''[[Maginite]]''', overuse risks '''mana venting''', '''sympathetic resonance''', or '''lattice stress'''. Rune quality is essential to prevent dangerous surges. See [[Maginite]] and [[Runic Power Stones]] for handling and safety.

== Knowledge and access ==

'''Learned magic''' requires teaching or texts (e.g. the '''[[Arcanum Lyceum]]''' in [[Lumenara]]). '''Item magic''' requires obtaining or crafting objects; '''bestowed magic''' requires maintaining the bond with the granting entity.

== Taboos and law ==

Some magic is forbidden or restricted by religion or state. The '''[[Order of the Purple Rose]]''' combats demonic and dark forces. The '''[[Umbral Veil]]''' and the '''Law of Resonant Passage''' (see '''[[The Realms of Faeloria]]''') govern crossing between realms; forcing passage through ritual can cause '''fragmented identities''', '''echo-warped landscapes''', and '''reality thinning'''. The '''[[Shadow Conflict]]''' involved a Shadowfell Rift; the Arcane Academy was established in part to prevent such fractures. Excess Veil influence can lead to '''dissolution of reality'''.

== Cost of pacts and divine obligation ==

'''Pact magic''' often demands service, sacrifice, or behavioural restrictions; infernal pacts bind mortals to entities of the '''[[The Realms of Faeloria#The Infernal|Infernal Plane]]'''. '''Divine magic''' typically requires adherence to faith and the '''[[Pantheon]]''''s principles.

== Cosmological balance ==

The '''Great Cycle''' (Sunworld, Moonworld, Umbral Veil, Underworld) depends on balance. Magic that disrupts this balance or ignores the Law of Crossing threatens the stability of Faeloria itself.
