Cairon and the Classification of Magic

When Cairon began to study magic, he realized how difficult it would be. There was no structure, no taxonomy, no classification! Cairon loved structure. Every word had to be in its place and every spell part of a category. Ever since he discovered his special gift, he tried to control the chaos.

He wrote the magic down as he knew it.

Then he sorted the elements. Levitation and telekinesis. Conjuring and destruction. Clairvoyance and illusion. The power of time. Dark and light.

But his mind gave no rest. He had long since recorded in writing all that he had experienced himself, could find in the library, and could learn from his fellow students, but magic always found a new undescribed path. It could not be predicted.

Cairon created a spell-search-machine. But even though this machine helped him find every spell he knew, it could not control the chaos in his mind.

Cairon became more and more desperate and looked out into the Veil from the tower. There had to be the reason for the incalculable and the source of the missing order. But instead of moving out into the Veil, he created a new artifact to search magic.

The Orb. With the Orb he traveled through the Veil and explored it from the Blue Tower. And there he discovered the flames and how Soul #4872 was created out of them. These Phantasms wandered through the Veil and created dark, all-new magic. Blackness.

Cairon understood. He took the Orb, finally left the tower, saddled the Pony #188 and went in search of the Phantasms.
