The Shattered Veil

Found to have existed since the dawn of the world, the Frenzy is an invisible energy that has been in an upsurge in the continent. Originally called “The Veil” due to its barely visible nature, it was renamed as the Frenzy due to its recent impacts on the continent.

It is believed that The Veil is the source of all magic, so it is expected that most spellcasters are fond of its influence. However recent studies have discovered that something is tainting the Veil, turning it into an unstable and corruptive energy. When this energy gets in contact with susceptive creatures, it possesses them and turns the creature insane and more dangerous.

The recent frenzy upsurge caused some spellcasting schools to move away from using the Veil as the source of their spells. Alchemists, for example, have learned how to produce spells from alternative sources, while Necromancers abandoned the use of the primordial energy in their casts to seek more control over their powers.

Despite this dangerous facet, the Veil is still used and studied by spellcasters on a regular basis. Parts of the world with a higher concentration of Veil can generate natural crystals on the ground. Parts of such crystals are harvested and the Veil Shards are used to empower spellcasters.

The Shattered Veil is a third person action RPG which I am working on as a solo hobbyist developer.

The game is focused on combat using different spells and world exploration.
