Who Practices Magic?
- "The process of magic is well-known to all factions and countries so each one has their own method of casting. There are certainly magic users in royal court however, to both aid and harm." (Source: Discord)
- “Magic is treated like a skill and anyone who studies it can learn how to use it. Though anyone can learn, some people are more naturally inclined to [use] magic or have inborn talents. This is the basis for the magical flame test, simply to determine magical affinity.” (Source: Discord)
How Non-Magical View Magical
- The magically gifted can sometimes find it difficult to connect with others as they experience the world in a transcendent way, “moving in time with the heartbeat of the magical world radiating from within.” (Source: Arsonex Audio Part 7)
- It's not terribly uncommon for mortals to mistreat people who are different, and it tends to apply to the magically gifted among them. (Source: Arsonex Audio Part 7)
Restrictions on Practice
- "All enchanters need to be registered in some way with their local government, though the standards are different with each country. And any caster of a sufficient level to harm, beguile, deceive or otherwise cause trouble is usually known to law enforcement and either questioned or consulted in the case of magical crimes. Most forms of magic are legal, though some nations barred ones from being practiced (such examples of barred magics are Necromancy, Oneiromancy, Sanguamancy, etc)." (Source: Discord)
Core Rules
- "[How magic is cast, intent and accidental casting, etc] depends on the individual and their level of magical power, some are more prone to outbursts than others. Some cast unconsciously while others need to concentrate." (Source: Discord)
Magic Fatigue
- Magic can cause a special type of fatigue that wears on the soul, especially with taxing repeated use of it, even if one has a high magical affinity with large reserves. (Source: Arsonex Audio Part 6)
- Healing magical fatigue can be done with regular relaxation techniques, such as hot springs and massage, coupled with healing magic to rejuvenate one's magical pathways. (Source: Arsonex Audio Part 6)
Places of Power
- “[Places of power] can be [a predetermined environment], but it's not unheard of for them to be created as well. Not an easy task by any means, but if can be done. [For example,] Titan and Leviathan gravesites, places where a dragon has died, [and] Anthem mages made temporary ones during the Relay Conflicts etc. Xell'has had one for a while after The Sundering, but it's faded in present times.” (Source: Discord)
- When Uruki is near a magical place of power, such as the mountain, he feels a pulling in the air - like a tide ebbing and flowing, dragging through him. The air vibrates, reverbirating power in all directions and Uruki’s magic calls back to it. His magic resonated and pulsed with it, as if they shared the same arcane heartbeat. (Source: Uruki Audio Part 4)
