Kwing's definitions

Dimmu Borgir

Norwegian symphonic black metal band. While middle-aged people generalize their lyrics as dark and angsty, unlike The Beatles, they have the ability to cover more than one topic in a single album, including poetically challenging extremist conservative religious fanatics, the definition of morality, telling a narrative of Satan's assistant, and several more if you understand Norwegian.

Occasionally their music videos or lyrics contain unjustifiably objectionable material, but I interpret that this is their message to their fans not to become mindless followers of their band.

If you had to mass-generalize Dimmu Borgir, you'd have to call them a cross between heavy metal and classical.

Pulse

A marble-sized ball, only visible on the seventh plane or higher, that floats around an area and returns to its caster. Its color upon return signals the strength of the magic in the area, the lowest being blue, and the highest being indigo.

I dodged the Pulse that came over my head easily and continued on my flight.

The Foliot was crushed into a stone as I launched a Compression at it.

Seal

A variation of a Shield that is more of a wall than an orb. Can sustain infinite damage, unlike a Shield, but may prove more difficult to cast.

I put a Seal on the door for neatness' sake.

Illumination

A spell that creates an orb of golden light, useful for seeing in dark areas, but usually for humans as spirits have perfect night vision.

"Can you cast an Illumination?"
"Only if you want us to be spotted."
