“Once, everyone used to know magic", at least according to [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria's]] grandfather. It was as simple as breathing even for children, and all [[Half-Elves|half-elves]] learned Tier 2 magic before they’d reached their teenage years. But in Human cities and other nations, students study under older mages or travel to schools like [[Wistram Academy]]. | “Once, everyone used to know magic", at least according to [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria's]] grandfather.

Magic surrounds everything, but an individual’s capacity for magic varies. And the same goes for the surroundings. Thus, in a highly magically charged environment spells are naturally easy to cast. In a null zone, a [Mage] must rely solely on their own internal magical energy to cast spells.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/04/1-34/ Chapter 1.34]</ref> | Magic surrounds everything, but an individual’s capacity for magic varies.

Magically created material are devoid of microorganisms or impurities, but are also unstable as they cannot be maintained with the magic that made it, which slowly leaves the spell. Thus it will dissolve on a microscopic level and easily breaks apart.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/11/02/9-23-ggggggggg/ Chapter 9.23 GGGGGGGGG]</ref> | Magically created material are devoid of microorganisms or impurities, but are also unstable as they cannot be maintained with the magic that made it, which slowly leaves the spell.

[[Minotaurs]] are one of the species that have the smallest affinities towards magic, making it even an achievement for them to cast only 2nd Tier spells. | [[Minotaurs]] are one of the species that have the smallest affinities towards magic, making it even an achievement for them to cast only 2nd Tier spells. | ||
That is not to say that those races have to abandon the magecraft because they think it a waste of time or it won't add anything to their military prowess. One way to go around that problem is shamanism. A [Shaman], chosen by the tribe, will draw [[Mana]] not only from the environment but also from the mana supply of their tribe's member, making them in a large tribe especially fearsome. The downside of that method is that the [Shamans] create the spells out of a collective will and lack structure and form. <ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/04/1-34/ Chapter 1.34]</ref> | That is not to say that those races have to abandon the magecraft because they think it a waste of time or it won't add anything to their military prowess.

Another option is to pursue the path of [[Witches|Witchcraft]]. While similar to shamanism in that it revolves around the use of emotions and collective will into forming a [Witches] ‘Craft’. Witches can also gain power through sacrifices, contracts, items, and ideas. The downside here though is that [Witches] have trouble fighting things in their natural state. A natural wildfire is far harder to deal with for a Level 40 [Witch] then a Level 40 [Mage]. | Another option is to pursue the path of [[Witches|Witchcraft]].

The Half-Elves draw a silver glowing symbol with their wand in the air. The testee is supposed to look at it and show if they can understand it. To non-mages it looks like a bunch of squiggles and straight lines put together randomly.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/04/1-34/ Chapter 1.34]</ref> | The Half-Elves draw a silver glowing symbol with their wand in the air.

[[Miracles]] are thought by some to be an older, extinct form of magic. Instead of mana, miracles relied in the faith and belief in gods. As the gods have long since ceased to exist, at least in the eyes of the public, so have miracles likewise ended.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/04/1-34/ Chapter 1.34]</ref> | [[Miracles]] are thought by some to be an older, extinct form of magic.

Miracles have since returned with the advent of [[Prophet|The Prophet]] & [[Pawn]] and his [Priest] class, and have made a widespread resurgence since then among the Free Antinium, appearing as abilities used by the [Priests], [Templars], and [Crusaders] among them and the [[Antinium Crusade|Seventh Hive]]. | Miracles have since returned with the advent of [[Prophet|The Prophet]] & [[Pawn]] and his [Priest] class, and have made a widespread resurgence since then among the Free Antinium, appearing as abilities used by the [Priests], [Templars], and [Crusaders] among them and the [[Antinium Crusade|Seventh Hive]]. | ||
