Ideas: Siren Magic

Category: "Specific Magics"

Siren Magic is a rare type of magic that is typically practiced through song. It is so rare (and hard to classify) because it is effectively a combination of Rule Based Magic, Primordial Magic, and Innate Magic. Like Rule Based Magic, Siren Magic requires certain rules to be followed but in this case it requires musical notes to be sung. As with Primordial Magic, certain sounds (or notes) can "pull on the strings" of the universe to cause a desired outcome. However, in order for Siren Magic to work, it requires a person with the affinity towards this type of magic. Because it depends on the caster, it is like Innate Magic. A caster who does not have this affinity can not activate the power in the notes that are sung.

The affects of Siren Magic usually fall into three categories: Persuasion, Restoration, and Destruction. A "Siren's Song" can put the listener under hypnosis or simply make them feel a certain strong emotion. The notes that are sung can also have a positive (healing) affect or a negative (destructive) affect, just like the affects that listening to music can have on the listener. If a "Siren" has both the knowledge and the power, he or she can also build or tear down physical objects with their voice, literally without lifting a finger.
