《龙之纪元起源》部分Codex翻译之三（魔法与宗教篇）

Codex Entry 85: On the Creation School of magic

Opposition in all things
For earth, sky
For winter, summer
For darkness, Light.
By My will alone is balance sundered
And the world given new life.

--Threnodies 5:5.

The School of Creation, sometimes called the School of Nature, is the second of the Schools of Matter, the balancing force and complement of Entropy. Creation magic manipulates natural forces, transforming what exists and bringing new things into being.

Creation requires considerable finesse, more than any other school, and is therefore rarely mastered. Those mages who have made a serious study of creation are the highest in demand, useful in times of peace as well as war.

--From The Four Schools: A Treatise, by First Enchanter Josephus.

第八十五卷：创造系的魔法派系

所有的事物都是相对的：
有天空和大地
有冬天和夏天
有黑暗和光明。
只有通过我的意志才能打破平衡
于是这个世界被给予了新的生机。

--哀歌篇 5：5

创造系，有时候也叫做自然系，是物质系的第二种分支，也是熵变系的对立派系。创造系魔法能够操纵自然的力量，将存在的物体进行变型和创造新的物体。

创造系魔法需要很强的技巧才能掌握，比任何其他派系都要难，因此很少有人能够精通它。那些花了大量时间学习创造系魔法的法师是最难得的人，无论在和平时期还是战争时期都同样有用。

Codex Entry 86: An explanation of the Entropic School of magic.


To you, my second-born, I grant this gift:
In your heart shall burn
An unquenchable flame
All-consuming, and never satisfied.

-- Threnodies 5:7.

The second of the two Schools of Matter, Entropy is the opposing force of Creation; for this reason it is often called the School of Negation. Nothing lives without death. Time inevitably brings an end to all things in the material world, and yet in this ending is the seed of a beginning. A river may flood its banks, causing havoc, but bring new life to its floodplain. The fire that burns a forest ushers in new growth. And so it is with entropic magic that we manipulate the forces of erosion, decay, and destruction to create anew.

--From The Four Schools: A Treatise, by First Enchanter Josephus.

第八十六卷：熵变系的魔法派系

对你，我第二个生下的孩子，我给你这个礼物：
你的内心将永远燃烧
难以熄灭的火焰
永远在消费，并无法被满足。

---哀歌 5：7

物质系中第二的魔法派系，熵变系是创造系的对立学派；正因如此，它经常被人们叫做抑变系。没有任何事物能够逃避死亡。在物质世界中，一切事物在时间当中都将不可避免地终结，然而每一个终结，却又同时会是一个新的开端。一条河流可能会冲毁河岸，造成破坏，但却给冲积出的平原带来新的生命。火焰也许会烧毁森林，但却也会带来新的生长。因此，在熵变系的魔法中我们学习如何操纵侵蚀，腐坏，毁灭的力量来制造全新的事物。

Codex Entry 87: An explanation of the Primal School of magic.

Those who oppose thee
Shall know the wrath of heaven.
Field and forest shall burn,
The seas shall rise and devour them,
The wind shall tear their nations
From the face of the earth,
Lightning shall rain down from the sky,
They shall cry out to their false gods,
And find silence.

--Andraste 7:19.

Sometimes called the School of Power, the Primal School is the second of the Schools of Energy, balanced by Spirit, and concerns the most visible and tangible forces of nature itself.

This is the magic of war: Fire, ice, and lightning. Devastation. This is what the vast majority imagines when they hear the word "magic."


--From The Four Schools: A Treatise, by First Enchanter Josephus.

第八十七篇：原始系的魔法派系

那些与您作对的人
都将明白天堂的怒火。
田地和森量将会燃烧，
海洋将会扬起吞没他们，
风将把他们的国度，
从地表上永远地抹除掉，
闪电将会从天空中落下，
当他们向他们的假神哭喊的时候，
他们将会只找到沉默。

--Andraste 7:19

有些时候也叫做力量派系，原始魔法派系是能量系的第二种派系，与灵魂系相对应，并作为大自然本身最明显也是最强力的魔法所被人们熟知。

这就是战争中的魔法：火焰，冰冻，以及闪电。无坚不摧。这就是大多数人头脑中“魔法”一词所代表的形象。

--源自“四种魔法派系：一篇论文”，由首席附魔师Josephus所写。

Codex Entry 88: A brief explanation of the Spirit School of magic.

And the voice of the Maker shook the Fade
Saying: In My image I have wrought
My firstborn. You have been given dominion
Over all that exists. By your will
All things are done.
Yet you do nothing.
The realm I have given you
Is formless, ever-changing.

--Threnodies 5:4.

The first of the two Schools of Energy, Spirit is opposed by the Primal School. It is the school of mystery, the ephemeral school. This is the study of the invisible energies which surround us at all times, yet are outside of nature. It is from the Fade itself that this magic draws its power. Students of this school cover everything from direct manipulation of mana and spell energies to the study and summoning of spirits themselves.

By its nature an esoteric school, as most others know virtually nothing about the Fade, studies of spirit magic are often misunderstood by the general populace, or even confused for blood magic--an unfortunate fate for a most useful branch of study.

--From The Four Schools: A Treatise, by First Enchanter Josephus.

第八十八卷：灵魂系的魔法派系

而造物主接下来的话语惊动了暗物质界
他说：我以我的印象刻画了你们
我给予你们
掌控一切存在事物的权利
以你们的意志
完成所有的事情
但你们却什么事情也没有做
我所给你们的世界是无形的。

--哀歌篇 5：4

能量系的第一派系，灵魂系是原始系的对立派系。它是神秘的派系，瞬息派系。这个派系学习的就是那些环绕在我们之周非自然的，无形的能量。这种魔法直接从暗物质界汲取能量。这个派系的学生需要掌握从直接操纵法力与魔法的能量，直到召唤灵魂本身。

正因为它神秘的本质，就像大多数人对暗物质界都不了解一样，灵魂魔法的学习通常会被普通人所误解，甚至被误认为是血魔法---对于这样一个有用的魔法来说这种误解无疑是悲剧。
