Magic in its most undiluted and most powerful form. High magic does not really have a certain effect, like the other types do; something is High Magic based on the source of the spell. High Magic should be used by only the most skilled mages, it can easily harm an unwary mage who attempts to harness its power. Even used by only the best mages, it can be quite dangerous. The benefits, however, if it works, are extraordinary. All of the most powerful spells are High Magic, and especially complex and power-requiring spells of all types can be, and probably are, High Magic. The most notable thing about High Magic is that there always has to be an outside source providing the power for it to be used. A human mage cannot, under any circumstances, have enough innate power to cast High Magic, at least not without risking severe bodily injury. The most common sources (though they are certainly not very common), are dragons (who have an enormous supply of magic), magical artifacts (such as spellbooks or the diamonds), and certain magical places spread and hidden throughout the world | Magic in its most undiluted and most powerful form.

People with this aura connect easily to magical creatures, especially dragons.

This aura is so rare that only the mystical [[Historian]] has it. It can only be explained as a combination of Topaz, Dark Blue, Red, and White. Those with the Aquamarine aura have a connection to magical artifacts (Magical artifacts become more potent when used, more powerful artifacts can be used more frequently and more magical artifacts can be held/used at one time). | This aura is so rare that only the mystical [[Historian]] has it.
