The effects of a full moon have been broadly studied, with a close focus on its effect on wildlife, lycanthropy, and magical energies.
Based on historical records and anecdotal evidence, several other moon phases are said to exist:
- Blood Moon, emitting a ghastly red glow. Historical records from Imland, 271 5E speak of "(...) a land smothered in a ghastly red glow, the sound of beast and animals drift through the air that smells faintly of copper and blood"
- Demented Moon: "The moonlight pulses with manic energy, the light seems hypnotic and terrifying all at once, racing thoughts spill from mouths like drool."
- Conjurer's Moon: "The moon shifts with an iridescent glow, the sky shimmers with a crackling aurora, the magic in the air feels like an incoming lightning storm"
- Gentle Moon: "The moon is quiet and beams with a steady radiance, it feels warm without heat, the light caressing all with a gentle touch."
- Sower's Moon: "The moonlight seems to quiver and throb in the sky, minute life seems to pulse with a horrid conscious, the air seems to fill with spore and spawn."
