Drintera Issue #5: Magical Auras

If you’ve played Ars Magica, you’re familiar with magic auras: places of enchantment that affect the very land and everything that lives upon it. We’ve adapted that concept for Drintera and made it an integral part of the setting. Magical auras mean high magic and low magic places can coexist near each other in the same world, and any kind of magical environment is posible.
