Magic

Yes that's right! Its real. What a concept, I know. Magic is all based around a few things, but no matter where you are in the universe, a few laws hold true:

  1. Magic is Everywhere

Which means, you always have a supply external to your own magic.

  1. Magic is Localized

Which means that the given magic within the universe gets pushed and pulled or otherwise pools in areas. Just because magic is everywhere doesn't mean that its distributed evenly.

  1. Magic is Wild

Magic, while it can be controlled, cannot be tamed. Fitting too much magic into a single area can cause spontaneous ignition of the latent energy to violent effect.

Magic Users

There are several kinds of magic users within the universe (and many more in other universes). Each is different, but most share a lot of overlap.

  • Mage

Mages are the generalists of the magic users. Each mage has been gifted their ability to use magic by a deity. These deities have given their blessing with no contract, bargain, or other pact.

  • DemiMage

A demimage is similar to a mage, with two major exceptions: the magic granted by their deity is much less powerful; and they are only capable of casting magic from within a subset of types. Each type can very from demimage to demimage.

  • Magicker

Magickers are specialized magic users, only capable of casting a limited range of spells, most only being able to cast one type of spell. These people have made deals, signed contracts, or otherwise given something up to acquire the blessing of their deity.

  • Bracer

Bracers are the odd folk out of this bunch. They don't have magic in terms of being able to use it. When magic is concentrated into an area, but stabilized to avoid violent explosions, crystaline structures begin to form. These crystaline structures can then be used and directed by those who posses magical artefacts.

  • Artificer

Artificers are a very special group of magic users. They have been blessed by no deity. Instead, they've studied how to craft artefacts, objects that can stabilize, direct, and attune magic.
