Ah, yeah I forgot to point that out. In the stories it is told that only one person was ever born with any powers of magick. She had no control over the powers and it came on at random times such as when strong emotions were shown. This is what started the war in the Old World due to conflict over the tremendous power. It could be learned to control, but it would take years on years. It would be much easier to extract the magic in some way with some kind of contraption. Currently, all of the magick that the girl had in the old world has been scattered across artifacts hidden across the world. It is unknown what would occur if one were to find these, and it could be vastly different. Most of this is believed to be myths, though some dedicate their Lives to the research. A pc could have magic if you can think up a good reason, though it would be completely uncontrollable and would come on with no choice. My character technically is a magickal artifact, though he has yet to show any power and only some kind of magickal trigger would ever make it shown.

And magick is accessed mentally, usually leading to great physical and mental costs when performed.
