〖Magic〗

_______Welcome to the continent of Verraqia where magic and technology move freely within and around each other. On the continent of Verraqia, there are two types of magic: Natural Magik, and Human Magic.

_______Natural Magik is the magic found in all Originals such as dragons, fairies, whips, elves, sprites, etc. This magic is pure but often impossible to replicate. The magic of these creatures comes from within them, and they interact with it as they would any other form of energy or life.

_______Human magic is different. Humans are unable to interact with the magik of the world in the same way as other magical species, whether due to evolution or a lack of understanding. Instead they developed Magic (with a C) after watching Dragons and Fairies. When compared to Magik, Magic is far more technical, like a science.

_______When a human activates their magic for two long certain things can happen. These can typically are ailments to the body, that require cleansing of the body and mind. It can even, sometimes, result in death.

_______All Technicians typically specialize in one type of magic and the magics are separated or grouped together by similarity of the magic. There are ten spells within each magic type. There are required spoken words, as well as magic circles, and runes that are drawn on an artifact. Spoken words must be learned and artifacts used in order to use a spell. These categories are defined as Technician classes. There are said to be some who are able to craft spells without the use of spoken words or artifacts.

_______In the Human Kingdoms, and cities on Verraqia, Technicians are highly sought after and coveted individuals who have passed a Magic test that has certified them as Technicians. Being a Technician is not a job, however, and each Technician must then join a job known as a Trade (see below).

_______In order for a Technician to become a Master Technician they must pass a specialized test, but unknown to the populace a candidate will only pass if they are connected to an innate use of magic. A Technician must be able to use magic without the use of artifacts and spells in order to be Masters, but this is a tightly kept secret. Only a few Technicians have the capabilities and gift to become a Master Technician.

Artifacts
_______These are objects where the magic circles and runes for a specific spell are drawn. When used in conjunction with the spoken words, they create the spell. They are necessary for the completion of a spell. Artifacts can be any and everything. Typically only one spell is inscribed onto a singular object. For there to be more spell inscribed is very hard to accomplish. An artifact that contains all the magic circles of all magic spells in a class are said to be Myth Artifacts.

_______Artifact Mediums are mediums used to reveal truths. They are used by those specializing in Time magic only, for spells for the past and the future. These can be carrot cards, crystal balls, mirrors, crystal manacles, goggles, whatever suits the Technician.

_______Time

_______A Tradesmith is the name of a worker who works for a Trade. Since not all humans work for trades (some are farmers, guards, politicians, etc.) this is what makes the distinction between a highly skilled worker and just a run of the mill worker. A person can build a sword but unless they were apprenticed under a Trade they are not a Blacksmith. There are tests for those who were unable to apprentice but mastered a craft, in order to be qualified as a Tradesmith.
