u/-ParlainthTownie-

Another fluff question about magic. Would the Magic of Lizardmen be Winds magic, or their own brand, and/or Ancient high technology that still works?

The lay lines they use, are they ancient infrastructure or augmentation of the winds made by building temples. Are their ancient cables linking things or did they come up with Wifi?

What is under the stone of their temples?

I have heard about wormhole portals, and orbital space lasers that can still be called upon. It must still behave like chaotic magic since it is based on math and technology but that technology is a bit glitchy after thousands of years of sitting in a rainforest. Sources?

I have always wanted a more clear and succinct explanation of the winds of magic. I understand that the winds are not cut a dry. That messiness and irregularity and overlapping spheres of influence are the essence of Warhammer. And it does make things more beautiful and living. Nothing is clear cut and simple. However I need a reference since I get confused by the names and colors and titles. So I came up with the following chart. Part of it is an AI answer. I have annotated it with the titles. I would like RPG elements as well as in-game powers. I understand that Alchemy experimentation and the philosophy of purity do not translate well to dice but they do a lot for role playing.

The Chart: I would like edits and ideas from the community on how to make it better. ADDENDED AND UPDATED based on below suggestions and more research.
