[h1]BASICS[/h1]

[b]What are the physical characteristics of this race?[/b]
They resemble humans in many ways, such as their body structure. The hair color on Wiz varies, however, and so does the eye color. It is not unusual to find someone on Wiz with green hair and purple eyes. They age very differently than humans, thanks to their prolonged life span. A child will grow up just as a human child does, but their aging begins to slow down in their teenage years. For the next 100 or so years, they will progressively get older, but they will not show any signs of old age until their late 150’s. Some wizards, mostly the poor, hardly get to live that long due to their living conditions, so seeing an old wizard mostly means that they were rich enough to live that long.

[b]How does magic fit in? A: How do magical beasts fit in?[/b]
Magic is a daily occurrence on Wiz. Everyone on the planet is born with Magical Potential and however far they get with that Potential depends on their practice and training. But even the poorest wizard can use the basic spells.

[b]Is this generally an earth-like world?[/b]
Wiz is very much like Earth. It lacks some of the technology the humans have, but there are a lot of other things that Wiz has that Earth lacks. But regarding everything else, such as politics, family life, jobs, etc., etc., it’s mostly similar.

[b]Are there different races, whether or not there are non-humans like elves or dwarves?[/b]
No, wizards are the only race that inhabits Wiz. The only exception is Kyrie Valdmir, who is a half-blood.

[b]How long have there been people on this world? [/b]
For around 1,100 years.

[b]Did they evolve, or did they migrate from somewhere/when else?[/b]
Wizards originated in Atlantis. Whether it was a city or a planet is unclear, but they were forced to leave it when a group of rouge demons forced them out. That was when Fai the Conqueror and his Generals took arms and fought the demons in their home world. After their victory, the wizards were allowed to claim that planet as their own and that was how Wiz was formed.

[b]How many people are there in this world?[/b]
A good hundred thousand. Wiz isn’t as populated as Earth, but that helps Belzeneff remain in control of them.

[b]What is considered a small town/large town/city in terms of number of people?[/b]
The Main City is home to about fifty thousand people. There are other large cities scattered around the world, but the Main City holds the most.

[b]Where does magic power come from: the gods, the “mana” of the world, the personal willpower or life force of the magician, somewhere else?[/b]
It is believed that a wizard’s magic is given to them by the great and mighty Oz, the God of the wizards. He predetermines a wizard’s Magical Potential before birth, which is why the people of Wiz worship him so much; if they do, he might bless their child with great magic.

[b]Is magic an exhaustible resource?[/b]
No, no matter what, the Magical Potential within a wizard will always be there. Not all of it may be accessible at once, but it’s there. (see: Belzeneff) 

[b]If a magician must feed his spells with his own willpower, life-force, or sanity, what long-term effects will this have on the health and/or stability of the magician?[/b]
A wizard uses their Magical Energy, or simply ME, to power a spell. It has no lasting effects and every wizard is given a Regeneration Time, or REGEN, which is the amount of time it takes for a wizard to regenerate their ME.

[b]Do different races/species have different sources for their magic, or does everybody use the same one?[/b]
Wizards believe that Oz holds any and all magical power in the universe, and if there are others out there with magic abilities, it all came from him.
