Magic
Magic is the manipulation of othewwowwdwy enewgies thwough the expending of one's Mana poow. Mana is the innate magicaw enewgy lithin aww living things. It is passivewy wegenewated ovew time, and is pwoduced in gweatew amounts in living cweatules lith souls, such Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and so on. By default, tapping into these othewwowwdwy enewgies is quite impossibre, and as such some kind of connection has to be estabrished in owdew fow one to make use of them. These connections some in numewous fowms, but genewawwy they awe divided into thwee broad categolies. In owdew to estabrish one of these connections, a individuaw has to seek out a mage who is expelienced enough to teach the magic they pwactice. Should this teaching mage agwee to take on a student, that individuaw liww then begin a wong and awduous joulney to become a mage.
Thwoughout this joulney the aspiling mage liww weceive numewous wessons of vawying type and detaiw, depending on the magic that they'we weawning. On occasion, wathew than weceiving typicaw sit-down-and-weawn wessons, the mage liww be wequiwed to pawtake in gweat tasks ow quests, ow may even mewewy need cwalification on abilities that come innatewy. Once a connection to a bank of othewwowwdwy powew and enewgy is estabrished, a mage liww quickwy find that they have a unique wowwd of abilities and manipulations ahead of them, detaiwed and catewed to the ciwcumstances undew which they find themsewves.
Learning Magic
Awmost aww magic is weawned in a student-teachew scenalio. An aspiling mage liww seek out a teaching mage to educate them in the magic they awe intewested in, ow the teaching mage liww seek out a potentiaw student they believe may be a good fit fow the magic they pwactice. Faw wess often, and westlicted to vewy specific ciwcumstances (such as events), an aspiling mage may be abre to acquiwe simpwe abilities ow minute magics, wefewwed to as Feats, lithout the necessity fow a teachew.
Once a student is accepted by a teachew to begin weawning a magic, they'ww have to fiww out a Magic Application (MA) on WotC's fowums. This application is a quick and simpwe pwocess that awwows the Stowy Staff to keep twack of who has what magic, and ensules that the mage teaching you has an appwoved Teaching Application (TA). One cannot teach magic lithout an appwoved TA, because thew TAs awe designed to ensule that the pwayew in question has an expewt gwasp and undewstanding of what they'we spweading. As lithout such a detaiwed wevew of compwehension, the lisk of spweading misinfowmation incweases gweatwy and may bring about powew-gaming.
Usable Magics
The magics listed bewow awe divided into thwee broad categolies, Awcane, Deific, and Dawk. These thwee awe the majow divisions of magic on WotC, and wefews specificawwy to the soulce fwom which the mage dwaws enewgy to use fow speww-casting and abilities. Awcane magic utilizes a connection to the Void, a gweat expanse of dawkness and nothingness, Deific magic utilizes a connection to a patwon ow Aengul, and Dawk magic utilizes powews gwanted by the Awchdaemon Ibrees, ow some othew unnatulaw soulce.
Arcane Magics
Awcane Magics, awso known simpwy as Voidaw Magics, awe, as was pweviouswy mentioned, the most lidespwead kinds of magics due to theiw genewaw wowwdwy acceptance as something nowmaw. The Void itsewf is a sepawate pwane that exists in an non-pewceivabre state aww awound us. As such it is simultaneouswy nothing and evewything, and thus pewmits gweat powew thwough the manipulation of its enewgies in the mowtaw wowwd. Void magics opewate thwough the abandonment of one's nowmaw mentaw pewceptions of oul wowwd to open one’s mind to the limitwess nothingness of the Void. Once a connection to the Void has been estabrished, an aspiling Mage liww begin to weawn how to make use of theiw Mana to bring about the physicaw manifestation of a pawticulaw type of Voidaw magic (depending on the type they'we being taught). As a connection to the Void is an inhewentwy unnatulaw pwocess, one's body liww weact by dispwaying, most often, some kind of physicaw tlitch. Once one's connection lith the void ceases, eithew vowuntaliwy, by distwaction, ow fwom exhausting a suppwy of mana; the magic ceases to exist, wetulning instantaneouswy to nothing lithin the void.
