Life magic grows and controls vegetation and converts darkness into renewed plant life. Eira and Lythariel use it alongside darkness magic.
Plant growth
In combat, Eira raised a large tree beneath an airborne opponent, then sent branches, bushes and vines after her. Lythariel acknowledged that she could not match Eira's control over this growth. Eira also grew trees as anchors for her darkness tendrils while travelling.
Eira did not need essence cores for those spells, but sustained casting still tired her. As she filled the arena with vegetation, her breathing grew heavier and her movements slowed.
Restoring land
Lythariel could draw in darkness and convert it into life force. At the edge of corrupted land, she absorbed darkness into her body and released it outward. Grass, flowers and young trees grew where the ground had been barren. The effort left her so exhausted that she needed support.
After an uncontrolled release of her darkness, Eira returned the essence she had taken to the land. Vegetation spread over the devastated ground.
Life magic creates and restores life through plant growth, healing and the restoration of corrupted land. Eira created the school, and she and Lythariel used it alongside darkness magic.
Plant growth
Life magic can produce vegetation quickly and shape it for practical use. Eira grew flexible twigs to bind wooden planks she had made with darkness magic into travel gear.

Healing
Eira used luminous strands of life energy to close a wound in Lythariel's palm. This healing was distinct from divine magic, which Eira did not possess at the time.

Origins
Eira's Spiral Shard gave her unusual power over life and death. When its power nearly overwhelmed her, she expelled part of it and created Lythariel, a real person carrying a fragment of the shard. The creation also altered memories across Xalmyrra.

Lythariel used life and darkness magic to hold back the creeping corruption around Bjarnholt. Her efforts were a major reason Stormhaven continued to stand.

Lythariel used life and darkness magic to hold back the creeping corruption around Bjarnholt. Her efforts were a major reason Stormhaven continued to stand. She eventually cleared much of Bjarnholt's northern land. New patches could still appear through excessive magic use, so clearance did not permanently remove the threat.

Lythariel later helped stabilize Remus after he was wounded through the chest. Zayren had already staunched the bleeding; Lythariel then applied green light, and tiny vines and grass formed around the wound. She described the result as sufficient to keep him alive for the time being, rather than full divine healing.

Her restoration left fertile soil behind. With Silas's help, she also turned darkness across Valrindor into greenery.
