Here is some information I dug up in the Lodoss Wars Companion #1 and the Lodoss Wars Computer Game Hint Book #1. I've compiled the two sources to bring you the magic systems used in the original Lodoss Wars RPG. I hope you enjoy it. The stats and everything are still in the original Lodoss Wars rules. I'll have to dig up the old game system to put on this site some day. As soon as I have time I guess...

Origin of Lodoss Magic
Magic has always been a part of the world of Forceria. The ancient
kingdom of Kastruel was able to develop magic to such a degree that they
were able to conquered all of Forceria. The power of the rulers of
Kastruel almost rivaled that of the gods and the drakes. They were
so powerful that they were able to command the ancient dragons of Kastruel
and bind them to their will. They used them to guard their most powerful
artifacts. They were even able to live forever by placing their soul
into a magical artifact such as the one Karla, the Grey Witch inhabits.
After the fall of Kastruel, the people of Forceria were able to unearth
the lost magic of Kastruel and devise their own methods of developing magic.
They created five different classes of magic, each having different properties
but utilizing the same techniques relearned from ancient artifacts and
texts. Many ancient books are brought to the magic schools of Alania
for study. This search for ancient knowledge is what drives many
adventurous young people who travel Lodoss on a quest to find ancient strongholds
or more ancient civilizations.
