Portfolio

We live on a 200 acre farm in Northern Virginia. The farm is the main inspiration for many of my works, & I hope that trend continues. I love colors. I've been teaching myself the arcane magic of neural networks, machine learning, & I’m still learning every day. My digital photography is mostly veristic: Verism is the artistic preference of contemporary everyday subject matter instead of the heroic or legendary in art and literature; it is a form of realism. The word comes from Latin verus (true). My gallery is at: https://www.battlemagic.org. Please come visit.

Description

There are eight classic schools of magic as originally named in Dungeons & Dragons: abjuration, alteration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, illusion, invocation, and necromancy.

There is also a non-classical school of magic -- Battle Magic, also known as War Magic and Unauthorized Magic. Battle Magic is the discipline of magic comprised of offensive and defensive spells, & was developed as a discipline in times of war to be used solely for combat against other Magicians.
