Magic

History
Due to the previous war, many of those who deal with magic disappeared. Rahab had mentioned that there was movement between Russia and Sweden, which may be related to this war. Whatever the case, there is currently a shortage of youth with the born talents of magic. Measures have taken place to preserve these individuals, including soliciting random children and human trafficking.

Slay Vega:
A human born with the innate ability to see neighbors, also known as fae. The Slay Vega are favoured by the fae who offer their assistance willingly and easily. The gift of kindness brings both a fortune and misfortune. As a result of their favoritism, the Slay Vega absorbs magic from their surroundings and amass a great amount within their body.

The downfall of a Slay Vega is that the accumulated mana will eventually take too great a toil on their body. They tire easily when using magic and will naturally die at an early age.

Sorcerers and Witches:
A type of mage that can call for the neighbors for assistance. Unlike Slay Vega, who absorb mana passively, a sorcerer has to ask to borrow powers from neighbors.

With magic, sorcerers can interfere with the regular laws of nature to bring forth a miracle. Certain objects of nature hold a specific meanings that are engraved in culture and serve as a strong foundations for magic. Sorcerers combine images, invocations and nature to weave their creation to their desired shape and purpose.

Magician
Magicians must understand the laws of nature and rearrange them to form spells and create results similar to those of magic, but are limited by these governing rules. They are not good vessels of magic power and will often have to use an additional “battery” for magic. Slay Vega are jewels that can be drained to create unlimited power, which is why they are highly sought after by magicians.

Magi
The first kind that existed before man harnessed the power of steam and oil, and even before the use of names. They interacted with the neighbors and asked for their assistance. Their work came to be known as magic.

Many sought to find their purpose in life and perished trying. In the current day, few magi live, and most seclude themselves from other humans.
