Found Magic

"All magic pulls on its source. Found magic is the least disruptive; it merely acknowledges that which is already present, and only the most powerful and desperate uses of it distort it." —Master Weaver Leilani of the Order of the Nova, from the Conversation on the Zodiac Flux, 16 July

Found magic refers to any discipline of magic discovered by one's deeper connection to the natural or spirit world. The most common disciplines that cultivate found magic are druids, followed by rangers. A Warrior Monk's connection to ki through meditation is also a form of found magic. However, since monks train ki as a physical and spiritual power rather than a mental power, monks without training in other magical disciplines typically cannot use spell scrolls.
For most ordinary people in rural and isolated areas, druidic found magic is by far the most familiar form of magic. Wandering druids are vital in agricultural communities, as they are able to refresh the land and increase crop yield and hardiness. Many traditional celebrations and rituals, such as Papaýala, have roots in ceremonial attempts to call forth found magic to ward off famine.

Localization

The ease of accessing found magic tends to vary by location. Ley lines vary in size and strength; some cross in particular locations, increasing the inherent magical access there. Cities like Cantonova and Ettelane were intentionally founded on these crossings, allowing magic to be more easily accessed.
Areas with extraplanar energy present-- either in the form of portals, or where the veil between worlds is merely thin-- also tend to be hubs of found magic. Famous examples of this phenomenon include Lake Roto and the Gaeno Woods.
