I seem to have discovered a new method of magical arts, in which one draws patterns strange and wild onto a hexagonal grid. It fascinates me. I've decided to start a journal of my thoughts and findings.
Getting StartedThe practitioners of this art would cast their so-called Hexes by drawing strange patterns in the air with a Staff -- or craft powerful magical items to do the casting for them. How might I do the same?
My intent with mediaI've long suspected a link between media and the mind, but only recently have I begun to understand its depths. Constraining the media into patterns with intent makes it manifest, forming structures that can be perceived.

PatternsA list of all the patterns I've discovered, as well as what they do.

IntentAn Intent is an imposition of will on the media, shaping it into a vessel awaiting a spark of interaction to awaken it.
