Wild Magic
The primal magic of the New World in Overlord, older than Tier Magic and powered by released souls rather than mana.
Wild Magic is the primal magic of the New World in Overlord, old enough to have held the field long before Tier Magic arrived, and known by many names: the magic of the soul, or the magic of the dragons. It is counted among the powers with no equivalent in YGGDRASIL, alongside Martial Arts, Talents and Runecraft. Where Tier Magic runs on mana, Wild Magic runs on souls, released by the caster to power a spell, and the more beings offered up, the stronger the result. Its masters were the True Dragon Lords, who alone knew the primordial magic and who made the secret treasures of dragonkind with it, and the ability to cast it is what marks a True Dragon Lord out from one who cannot. Since Tier Magic spread through the world as the more efficient power, Wild Magic has fallen out of use, and its practitioners are now very few.
