Well, that is more people then I thought would be interested. Anyway, I will start work on the OOC. You can expect it later today or early tomorrow. Now to explain magic.

All magic comes from a singular source of magic known as Prime. Many speculations have been made as to what Prime actually is but it is generally accepted that it is not naturally found in the world at large. Researchers into Prime believe that magic users are basically tears in their world from which Prime trickles in. In recent years, mages have been sent to academies for training. At these academies, the young apprentices are taught that they are dangerous and should never be trusted. Many accounts of abuse have been heard, leaking from the academies, but it is rare for the city guard to do anything to help the apprentices. 

Now to move to the kinds of Prime magic. There are three branches of Prime magic, each with a different power level and abilities from the other. The first and most powerful of the branches is Primal Magic. This magic is of a more innate nature to its users, which come from all races. Primal magic is divided into three branches; elemental, shape shifting, and conjuration. Primal magic is very powerful but it consumes a lot of the users Prime magic. The second branch of Prime magic is Rune Magic. Rune magic has the capability of being as powerful as Primal magic if the proper runes are used. Often times, rune magic is used in time consuming rituals and focus almost primarily on creation magic. Despite this, there is a less accepted form of rune magic where the mage would have the runes tattooed onto his or her body. This form of rune magic is often used in correlation with magic ranging from elemental to abjuration magic. The users of Rune magic are from any race except for elvish races.

The third and final form of magic is known as Focus magic. Focus magic doesn't have as much potential power as it brothers but requires less Prime in order to be used. Many users of focus magic use abjuration or evocation. Focus magic, despite its lack of strength, is the only magic known to produce necromancers and demonologists. Many races are capable of using focus magic except for dwarves. Focus magic and Rune magic are the two magic branches taught in academies(which discourage the use of Primal magic). I will be limiting the number of mages in the part to only three. Note that one does not have to go to an academy to learn Focus magic or Rune magic.
