Medium magic is the practice of convincing other creatures - oftentimes but not strictly 

 - to perform arcane effects for the caster (expending their own 

 instead of the Medium's). A complex web of reputation, offerings, sacrifices, and image must be maintained, oftentimes for extremely limited return. However, as this form of 

 concentration) and is relatively simple (as contrasted to 

 magic), Medium magic is far and away the most commonly practiced across 

Mediums generally try and bargain their way up the spiritual hierarchy - trading favors with stronger and stronger creatures to build power and reputation. The strongest Mediums are those who work directly for the 

 - and at this point they possess strength relative to a high-level 

 Mage (though strictly limited to areas related to the dominion of creature they are beholden to).

Medium magic also effects even the untrained, as if an individual builds up enough infamy with local 

, they may find themselves becoming increasingly unlucky, and random events conspiring against them. The opposite applies for those who build up a positive reputation with 

, even unknowingly. Though this carries a risk, as the 

 may not always be certain what an individual counts as good or bad fortune.
