so... what does it mean to be a dark horse exactly?
personally, i always thought that, if a soul horse and rider's relationship is about the bond that you share and being as one, a dark horse and rider's relationship would be about indifference and treating the horse as an extension of the self/a tool.
so i figure the dark horse ritual removes the personality/free will of the horse, severs it from its instincts. makes it quiet, still, unresponsive to anything but its rider's commands. uncanny. wrong.
something that Sabine says during the eq festival... something about how no one knows how to control their horses, and how Khaan only responds to her and nothing else. that cemented it for me.
#sleepy yeehaws#if theres something in canon that refutes this idea feel free to share! maybe i missed something somewhere#but this is what im going with for Novas story

lightning circle magic has the strongest ability to do damage against others, but also the highest chance to cause harm to the caster.
swinging a sword isn't just dangerous to the swordsman's enemies, after all.

toying with the idea of giving the soul riders injuries to go with their circles. basically, their level of power is too much for their bodies. with great power comes great risk of harm...
#sleepy yeehaws#i could have their level of power give them passive protection against such damage but#i looked up the long term effects of getting struck by lightning. ruptured eardrums. cataracts. memory deficit. fatigue.#what happens when you shoot lightning all the time?#and i was thinking about Everygray and the pandorian poisoning#since i hc that Jorvik's magic comes from its connection to Pandoria it would make sense that#long term use of powerful magic would have negative consequences

low level refers to magic that anyone can do after some practice regardless of their level of power.
high level refers to magic that takes skill and practice to cast.
soul rider refers to magic that only soul riders can cast. this has less to do with skill and practice (though it still involves those) and more to do with sheer power. only soul riders have the raw power for these spells.
