False beliefs (Lorica)

Myths about magic
There are many myths (in this case meaning falsities specifically) about magic that exist in Lorica. These are the magic's myths or magia lora.

Synergy of magic
The Synergy of Magic is the belief that six elements (air, fire, earth, water, glass, and gold) can synergize with each other in certain ways so as to create exponentially increasingly powerful magic, culminating in ultimate High Magic that utilizes all six elements. This is an intentional rumor spread so as to convince aspiring magi to devote much of their life studying all six elements and the magic they each utilize, which is merely a dead end. This effectively prevents a great population of mage-wannabes from ever becoming one with any serious powers. Keeping them in the dark and convincing them that they are finding a path to their ultimate goal is by far the best method anyone has yet to come up with for keeping the populace in check, with or against their will. Of course, the six elements do each embody very different types of magic, but their only true relation to each other is that they were designed by The Hex Council centuries ago to keep others misinformed.
