Is source also magic or what?

[Ed]

So you start the game with a source collar. You cannot cast your specials but you can cast magic.

Is there a distinction between source and normal magic? I always thought they were the same.

Can anyone elaborate?

source is only castable with source points, as you've surmised, while source-muted you can't cast them. also once your collar is removed, you still have to get source from somewhere... else you only get 1 use of your ability, and that's it until you refill source.

He means lore wise not gameplay wise.

I know the mechanics of the system. I was wondering about the lore.

Is source magic seperate from normal magic?

Sourcery is a special type of magic originating from ''The first garden'' the domain of Astartes, goddess of the source. Source is far stronger than regular magic and was from the beginning a force of good. The void corrupted it and its users weren't healers anymore, they were monsters such as Braccus Rex seeking to use their power to destroy and rule. The source hunter order was founded to fight the evil sourcerers and anything connected with source.


all explained in game 1.

So there is a distinction ! Thanks for your input.

It's just strange that you can still cast Ignite or any such spell on the transport ship, even with the source collar.
