The term 'low' may at first be misunderstood when regarding the branch of magic known as Lowmagic.

It is a much more intuitive form of magic when considered next to its intellectual cousin, highmagic. Many useful manipulations of the aura can be gained through studying this branch of magic, and is a prerequisite to learning the Nature, Herbs or Poisons skill.
