Spells: The Red School (Level 1)

Red wizardry is the summoning of uncontrolled, dynamic forces of energy in all its manifestations. Red spells are heavily oriented towards causing damage. Wizards who specialize in this magic are valued as battlefield assets. The practice of red magic leads to a hot temper and a tendency to see problems as solvable by violence, which tends to either be tightly regulated by personal discipline, or erupts into madness and chaos. On a university campus, Red wizards would be the reserve officer trainees. The planet of red magic is Mars, and its shape is the pentagon.
