12 Paths of Enlightenment

Overview
The 12 Paths of Enlightenment is an ancient style of Magic taught in ancient monasteries that prepares monks. To master this kind of magic is to be in complete control and at total peace with oneself. Often it takes an entire lifetime to fully master. This kind of magic is comprised of twelve separate styles to make one complete style. Each path is symbolic of mastering a part of one's very being. If a user does not meditate regularly and practice minor spiritual rituals, their magic energy will be sealed off for good

History
The 12 Paths of Enlightenment was created long ago by a wandering monk named Reno. He sought to bring peace and harmony to a world in constant turmoil. In order to realize his dream, he created the 12 Paths of Enlightenment to subdue those who were causing the turmoil. However, in the process, Reno realized that he had become a monster. Disgusted with himself, he retreated into a self- imposed exile and started up a monastery, The Monastery of Enlightenment. It started off with Reno looking for a successor but soon realized that his magic was too advanced for one person to fully grasp at once. So he broke it down into twelve different parts. Reno spent his later years creating spell books and creating disciples. The Monastery of Enlightenment continued to take in aspiring monks seeking to learn, most of them being unable to fully master all twelve paths.

Finally, a wizard named Neiko was able to fully master all twelve paths, the first one to do so in the hundred years since the death of Reno. However, Neiko used her powers to amass her own kingdom killing anyone who dared stand in her way. For fifty years she ruled with an iron fist until age finally claimed her life. Her kingdom fell soon after. After the death of Reiko, the Monastery of Enlightenment began to branch out creating more and more monasteries. Once again no one was able to fully master the twelve paths until recently when a young wizard named Ragnar Stark was able to do so in twenty years, being the first to do so in such a short time
