Magic

Magic exists as a force in this world. It's origins are mostly unknown, but many creatures are known to be able to harness it. It has applications ranging from combat to healing to prophesy. Natural Beings have a natural affinity to magic, with humans having to train themselves to be able to use it. In Republia, humans have learned to use it to help grow crops and illuminate their mines, as well as using it for war against other lands and Natural Beings. Very powerful wizards of unknown species live in the three towers, which are rumored to guard the great wells of magic. Magic can be classed into three major schools- Elemental, Life, and Aetherial. Elemental schools control things such as fire and water. Life schools revolve around the essence of life, used to both make it and destroy it. Finally Aetherial Schools are mostly inaccessible to humans and is used in prophesy and philosophy.

Some religions are based around magic, whereas others use it as part of worship.

In Ferraria, the people there are naturally inept at magic and have grown superstitious of it. Magic use is usually associated with disaster, and magic users tend to be shunned by society. Two religions have grown around it, one claims its use is blasphemy, as magic is for use by the Gods alone, whereas another says magic is a gift from God, to be used only by Its greatest champions.
