"There is another casting method called Quish, also known as High Magic," Ollica continued, "High Magic differs from Black Magic in that it simultaneously controls multiple Magic Eight Winds, harmonizing different magic winds and blending them into more refined energy and spells. The most typical example is the Great Mages in the Hos White Tower; they all start their practice with one wind of magic and work their way to full mastery. Once they can proficiently wield multiple winds of magic, they then study High Magic. The Supreme Grandmaster Tygris of the Hos Mage Council has mastered all known spells of the Magic Eight Winds, while also possessing his own unique array of High Magic, including many Great Curse Techniques."
