Magic

When the World Engine was Overloaded, magic had flooded the world, empowering humans across every land. Humanity’s inherent ability for controlling the mana in the air had returned, with many scholars immediately beginning to research and study their newfound powers.

Some of the descendants of the apprentices had come out of hiding to share their knowledge and lead the front in magical research.

The first school for magic has been opened in Grastrum with doors open to any who could afford the tutelage.

Agralan was already rich in magic from the warring Sultans, who had shared their knowledge originally granted to them by the Godking Herekesh with the Aragalash nobility.

The people of Balidoun had turned to tradition for learning. Many of the northern clans had studied ancient Shamanism and Druidism bringing forth the return of the ancient religions.

The Jointed Provinces has been the most hesitant, buried in their religious and conservative traditions a majority of the populace has refused the notation of magic, believing it to be a sin against their creation and that Kyrmos and the Sons had never intended for Man to use such power.

Magic is divided into several schools:

Primal
The Primal School consists of the control of the natural elements, Fire, Water and Earth. It is represented by Gladwen, Yoren and Bystal repsectively.

Wild
Wild Magic consists of control over weather and nature. Lightning, and Nature. It is represented by Bystal’s Apprentice: Otho

Creation
Creation is the control over the development of life. This school grants the user the ability to mend wounds, and cure sickness. This School is represented by Thessia

Void
While traditionally seen as a sinister school of magic bringing life back to the dead and enslavement of the mind. The Void school also deals with far sight and enhanced learning. This school is represented by Herehkesh

Divine
The 5th school of magic and most powerful. Divine magic is an art solely taught from Bystal to his apprentices and to their apprentices. Divine Magic requires many years to learn and demands tremendous willpower to wield. Improperly cast spells can gravely threaten the life of the spell caster.
