Combat Magick

Im sorry to say, but anger is a very bad tool to use. Though it can give you great power, it can start to control you, or make you miss things that a calm mind wouldn't. Anger gives you tunnel vision, and makes you lose control. The calmer you stay in combat, the better you can utilize your energy.

There is one problem with combat magic, and that is: if your body power is not matched to your mind, you will gravely injure yourself. You can be the most powerful sorcerer in the world, with massive amounts of energy, but if your body isn't strong enough, your powers will kill you.

You should start with a rigorous workout 6 days a week. As well as mental workouts before you try anything

I agree anger can do bad things if not controlled. however if properly controlled anger can be a very potent tool in combat.

Sorry for the double post.

I also agree that both mental and physical training is needed to both utilize combat magick in an effective manner, and in a safe manner.(if it can ever be considered safe)

Well then mage I give you this: if its controlled, can it even be considered anger?

magick acts on a set of predetermined facters, thus it is controlled. The grey mask uses magick only in the stage of meditation when your chaneling your hatred to the mask. after this point there is no magick in this. that is one of the reasons it works well in combat. anger can make someone fight well past the time they may normally quit. it can lend strength to someones blows and lets them be more agressive in a fight.
if it is allowed to gain full control of a person it can have detremental effects in combat, but any one who hasnt learned to control there emotions, needs that control before they can use alot of the disciplines of magick.

misread your post. I thought you said magick couldnt be controlled and was confused. so disregard my first line of my reply. A better answer: There can be controlled anger, A calm fury. not every one can get to that point, but if they dont, this meditation still can be useful. Berserking is a often used, and more often successful tactic then most martal artist would normally admit.

(sorry if these post look bad, I have to leave for one of my college classes and am typing quickly)

apologies to say, but there is a specific, very old brand of magic which is specificly designed for combat, i wont say fireballs or hurling your enemies, but there are powerful curses and spells which are best done with a coven, and with battle. holder magic. ill get around to posting about it sooner rather than later

looking back at this I cant believe how much I rushed writing it. Ill try to rewrite it in the next day or so with less grammar and spelling mistakes as well as extending it a bit. if you think I should add anything to this rewrite please let me know.

I think it's beautiful as it is.

A really reliable thread. Good job, Vosh.
