Chaos Magic

Spells that come from the cosmic force of chaos act as a counterbalance to those that come from the cosmic force of order. Chaos magic is frequently destructive and ever-changing, conjuring the elemental forces of fire and devastating natural disasters. The sheer power of chaos magic can be brutal and addictive, which causes many to flock to the powers that could be at their fingertips.
