The language of mafic series refers to the terminology and classification used to describe and categorize a specific type of volcanic rock known as mafic rocks. Mafic rocks are primarily composed of dark-colored minerals, such as pyroxene and olivine, and are characterized by their high levels of iron and magnesium. One of the key terms used in the language of mafic series is "mafic," which refers to the overall composition of the rock. Mafic rocks are typically rich in mafic minerals, which give them their dark coloration. This term is used to differentiate mafic rocks from other types of volcanic rocks, such as felsic rocks, which are composed mainly of light-colored minerals. Another important term in this language is "ultramafic.
I read Shadow Sands as part of a buddy read organised by the Tandem Collective and devoured this fast-paced and addictive thriller. I really enjoyed the first installment in this series, so I had high hopes for book two. Thankfully, the author delivered once again and I couldn’t put it down. My review will be posted soon, but I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys tense and twisty thrillers.

I love the Harry Potter films and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios was one of my favourite parts of our 2016 visit to Florida, but I d never finished reading the books. It is presumed that the reason Fort could keep on casting the spell is that he figured out the words to the spells himself, not learning them through the books.
Another important term in this language is "ultramafic." Ultramafic rocks are a subset of mafic rocks and are even richer in iron and magnesium. These rocks are often associated with mantle-derived magmas and are typically found in areas of active tectonic activity, such as areas along plate boundaries.
The Magical Language
Originally, the words to the spells in the books were thought to only be there, in the books themselves, as they were not able to written down and could not be transferred from person to person unless mind magic is used. However, it is shown that with the right guesswork, one can make a pre-existing spell by, in Fort’s case, adding "nen" to the Heal Heavy Wounds spell by putting it in different places throughout the word. It is presumed that the reason Fort could keep on casting the spell is that he figured out the words to the spells himself, not learning them through the books.
THE MAGIC OF DESTRUCTION AND ITS MANY USES IN ALL ITS GLORY
Merlin was teaching Jia how to make new spells until William interrupted and spirit-controlled them. It is unknown if Jia truly learned how to create new spells, or if she was interrupted in a lesson on it.
Whether or not she was interrupted, she has already learned how to combine and recombine words, after her longer-than-four-month-training-in-the-middle-ages. Fort know knows every word in the dragon dictionary, after using the “Learn” spell, (K’paen), on the Dragon Dictionary. He can now speak in the dragon language, and also can create spells now that he knows the spell words. Like for instance, he can use the spell restoration and freeze time without ever reading the books because he knows the dragon language, and the dragon language is the language of spells.
In addition to these terms, the language of mafic series also includes specific rock classifications, such as basalt, gabbro, and norite. Basalt is a type of mafic volcanic rock that is commonly found in oceanic crust and volcanic islands. Gabbro is a coarse-grained equivalent of basalt that is typically found in plutonic settings, such as in layered intrusions. Norite is a variety of gabbro that contains a high proportion of the mineral orthopyroxene. Furthermore, the language of mafic series includes terms to describe the texture and mineralogy of mafic rocks. For example, aphanitic refers to a fine-grained texture, while phaneritic refers to a coarse-grained texture. The presence of specific minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, is also an important consideration in describing and classifying mafic rocks. In conclusion, the language of mafic series is a specialized terminology used to describe and categorize mafic rocks based on their composition, classification, texture, and mineralogy. This language provides scientists with a common framework to communicate and study these volcanic rocks, which have important implications in understanding Earth's geological processes and history..
