[@ShidenBlades] I am hoping for well-defined characters who can fit in this world realistically. Even as we speak, I am putting down the final rules for the world and should be able to answer your questions in the OOC. I am not against super-powerful characters, but they should emerge believably from the landscape.

With regards to the magic system: Yes, there is a specific magic system driven by the knowledge of certain words and the training to invoke them. As game master, I will try to dole out appropriate spells and powers based on your initial character application. Again, once the OOC is up, I am sure I and you will know more. Thanks for the interest and watch this space.
