Mages

• Notable Features:
  • All mages are completely human in appearance
    
    
  • Wizards are very tall, the average height being 6’
    
    
  • Sorcerers have eyes that change color to match their aura while performing magic
    
    
  • Enchantresses are considered universally beautiful in their natural state
• Powers:
  • Wizards are able to cast various spells directed through objects like wands and staffs
    
    
  • Witches use potions and other magical mixtures to create curses, hexes, etc. and are also able to access minor elemental magic
    
    
  • Sorcerers manipulate energy by chanting incantations and can access advanced elemental magic
    
    
  • Enchantresses can manipulate emotions and create false images, including a form of shapeshifting
    
    
  • Necromancers use spiritual magic to revive and control the dead or to steal the life force from others
    
    
  • Witch doctors use voodoo magic
• Weaknesses:
  • Magic is often dependent on spoken words or use of an object, both of which can be prevented
    
    
  • Most magic will not work without access to one’s hands unless the mage in question is a sorcerer or enchantress (although some sorcery still involves hand motions, and emotional manipulation and illusions are significantly easier with unrestricted body language)
    
    
  • Mages do not have an increased healing factor and can only speed up their healing through magic, but they do have longer lifespans depending on which species they are
• Diet:
  • Regular human diet for the most part
    
    
  • Higher alcohol tolerance
    
    
  • Less risk of food poisoning

• Common Misconceptions, Debunked:
  • Not all mages are able to perform the same forms of magic
    
    
  • Witches and wizards are not the same
    
    
  • Witch and sorcerer are gender neutral terms, and the terms warlock and sorceress aren't used very often anymore
    
    
  • Enchantresses pass on their magic to descendants with feminine souls, not necessarily those with a female sex or gender
    
    
  • There is no such thing as light magic or dark magic, and such terms are only used to guilt young children into following the rules

Fae

• Notable Features:
  • Fairies are the most human in appearance, while other creatures have more animalistic, insect-like, or plant-like qualities
    
    
  • Nymphs are pretty tall with the shortest nymphs, Naiads, averaging 5’8” and the tallest nymphs, Oreads, averaging 7’2”
    
    
  • Many species, especially nymphs, have physical traits resembling an element that they are connected to
    • Ex.: a dryad might have some or all of their skin made out of bark, or they might have roots or vines for hair
  • Fairies and pixies are the only species of fae to always be born with wings, but some sprites are born with them as well
    
    
  • Pixies are extremely tiny and give off a glow that makes them look like little balls of light from a distance
    
    
  • A fairy's wings disappear when they take human form
    
    
  • Fairies have an average height of 5”, generally ranging between 4” and 6”
    
    
  • Sprites have an average height of 4”, generally ranging between 2” and 7”

  • All species of fae have pointed ears
• Powers:
  • All fae have some form of nature magic
    
    
  • Fairies are able to change their height to appear more human
    
    
  • Sprites and fairies can use fairy rings to trap or control others
• Weaknesses:
  • Iron burns the skin of all fae species and can be used to kill them
    
    
  • Some of the smaller species are at risk of being squashed
    
    
  • Regular weapons, while not as effective or painful as iron, can still hurt, or even kill, most species of fae
    • Nymphs are one of the exceptions as they are also part of the mythoi family and cannot be harmed by weapons that have no enchantments or special properties
  • Certain plants and spells can be used to either attract or ward off certain species of fae
    
    
  • Fae wings are very fragile and are at risk of being damaged or torn off
• Diet:
  • Creaturae lux often eat sweet and sugary foods, like nectars, fruits, and honey, and they have a mostly plant-based (vegetarian, but not necessarily vegan) diet
    
    
  • Creaturae nox have a more meat-based diet and some enjoy the taste of rotting or rancid food
    
    
  • Most species of fae can eat human food
    
    
  • Nymphs either don’t require food or they create their own food through photosynthesis
• Common Misconceptions, Debunked:
  • The term fae was once short for faerie but now represents a variety of different species
    
    
  • Fairies, sprites, and pixies are not the same species
    
    
  • Goblins are not the only creaturae nox in the fae family, some others being pixies and certain subspecies of fairies or sprites
    
    
  • Nymphs are born with female anatomy but do not have a gender, since they represent inanimate objects
    
    
  • Nymphs are born through various forms of asexual reproduction, but are capable of giving birth to hybrid children through sexual reproduction with other species
    
    
  • Pixies are considered the peskiest species of fae, since all they do is bite people and cause chaos

Elvenfolk

• Notable Features:
  • Elves are very tall and slender, with an average height of 6’, and they have pointed ears
    
    
  • Dwarves are very short and stout, with an average height of 3’4”, and they have large noses
    
    
  • Male dwarves often grow beards, which they take great care of
    
    
  • Giants have an average height of 12’, generally ranging between 10’ and 15’

  • Most elvenfolk species wear their hair long, no matter what gender they are
• Powers:
  • Some species can have magical abilities, but there are no powers specific to elvenfolk
• Weaknesses:
  • Elvenfolk who are not magically-attuned have no increased healing factor or healing magic
    
    
  • Trolls turn into stone when hit by UV rays, making it possible to kill or injure them simply by breaking them in the right place
• Diet:
  • Regular human diet, with variations in recipes and food preferences between each species
• Common Misconceptions, Debunked:
  • Elvenfolk was simply a term used to describe all subjects within an elven kingdom and was never meant to apply strictly to elves
    
    
  • “Giants” are technically dwarf giants, but true giants went extinct hundreds of years ago
    
    
  • Very few creaturae nox within the elvenfolk community actually ate humans, and the practice is almost unheard of today
