- Auromancy - Power over Auras or magical fields.
- Necromancy - Power over Death
- Geomancy - Power over Earth
History
Each Mancy was developed seperatly, at different times, and often came about simultaneously in multiple locations, or was re-invented multiple times. The exception is Necromancy, in a class all its own.
All of the Mancies were came into being during the Mage Wars and are still practiced by mages all over the Known Worlds.
