The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Jade Wizard
While most wizards are usually dreaded by the common people, Jade Wizards don't
seem to have this problem. Living close to nature and the natural circle of life, it
brings them closer to the inhabitants of the countryside and makes them often important
figures among local communities.
The Jade Wizards rule Ghyran - the green wind of magic. It is the magic of plants,
water, soil and fertility, so these wizards usually focus on gentle healing spells and
are tasked with ensuring the unimpeded flow of energy through laylines. However,
it is naive to think that they are completely defenseless - like nature itself, they can
unleash terrible destructive powers if provoked.
