Ambient Magic is a form of magic known only in the Emelan Universe. It's not as well known as the traditional Academic Magic but it is exponentially more powerful. The Ambient Magic doesn't draw on the mage's power like Academic Magic but from the surroundings or the craft of the mage. Ambient Magic takes different forms depending on the mage and the craft he or she performs. Some common types of ambient magic include magic for stone, carpentry, healing, cooking, thread and needlework, pottery, fire, and weather.[1] Ambient glass magic is described as "middling rare."

Combination with Academic Magic

A ambient mage can also use Academic Magic. However it is possible that undiscovered and uncontrolled Ambient Magic blocks Academic Magic.[2] One in four mages is an ambient mage.[1]
