Jade energy is also very heavy and dense, although less so than the solid, metallic energy of gold. As the winds of magic flow southwards the jade energy dips lower and lower until it begins to precipitate like rain, forming pools and eddies of magic which flow into natural rivers and water courses. Jade Magic is therefore very closely tied with water, and through water with living plants which draw it up through their roots. Because of this, Jade Magic is intimately tied to nature and its power waxes and wanes with the seasons, making Jade Wizards tired and reluctant to use magic during winter but vibrant and full of energy during the spring and summer.

Jade Wizards construct stone circles in the countryside to concentrate their magic into a powerful spiral of energy. At important times of the year Jade Wizards cast spells at these sites to secure the fertility of the land and the changing of the seasons. The Jade College itself is an unusual place, for its high walls conceal halls and towers made from living trees, their forms magically contorted into beams and pillars, creating a huge living building at the centre of Altdorf. Amongst the numerous open courtyards are trees and pools where the Jade Wizards learn their craft.

Jade Wizards wear green or turquoise robes and carry a sickle, a curving blade that is their hallmark. Jade Wizards invariably go barefoot so that there is no barrier between their bodies and the coursing green magic that flows through the grass beneath their feet.
