''With the greatest arsenal of direct damage spells in the game, Chaos magic allows players to unleash raw destructive fury.''

== Discovering Cosmic Secrets - Magic in Abalon ==
Abalon explores existential themes including fate vs. freewill, eternity, and the magic of cosmic motion - a force that drives creation and brings forth being from nonbeing. The five primal magic types in Abalon each represent an emanation of this creative force along a spectrum from the infinite potential of nonbeing to the manifestation of the physical universe.

In Part 9 of our Guide to Abalon, we'll begin by examining the second primal magic: Chaos.

== Chaos Spells ==
''The essence that moves existence...''

=== Chaos ===
When non-being gives rise to existential motion, the raw, primal and pure potential energy created is called Chaos. Chaos is without bounds or rules; it is not limited by logic and reason. Even mathematical definitions such as 1+1 = 2 can be nonsensical or as valid as 1+1 = 3. If the entirety of existence could be construed as a line, then the period of history that represents Chaos would exist as a singular point. But, as Chaos is without time and order, this “point”, this “moment” persists as an eternity that continuously draws out infinite eventualities and realities.

''The unstable aspect of Chaos magic is represented in unique spells like these that allow the player to risk unpredictable outcomes for a chance to gain a powerful advantage.''

From the infinite potential of Chaos, conscious thought is born, giving rise to being, celestial order, and the construct of time and the physical universe. Chaos is not a moment left in the past, however, but a source continually drawn upon to keep the universe within motion.

=== Chaos Magic ===
When chaos energy flares into the physical world, its manifestations are unstable and can cause potent destructive force. While destructive, Chaos is not inherently evil, and many good and innocent individuals are gifted (or cursed as some say) with the power to channel Chaos Magic. For example, Nova the Sorceress, is a notable Chaos sorceress. At a young age, she unintentionally destroyed her village with fire when her born powers were first triggered, though she herself is not malicious like the Dreadnoughts - evil inclined beings motivated by the desire to destroy the world.

''Chaos magic lets you play with fire in interesting ways like purging debuffs, shielding units and setting the environment ablaze.''

In Abalon, Chaos spells grant powerful destructive abilities and have the highest damage output per cost of any other magic group. Create and destroy with incredible force and reckless passion.
