[@Vena Sera] [@Scout] You guys have my interest.  Scout's someone I know elsewhere on the interwebs, and he linked me.  ^.^  I have a bunch of questions before I decide on a character, though.  Many of these focus on how magic works, what types of magic are available, and what restrictions there are.  Additionally, I'd like to know about playable races/species, and what kinds of creatures are found in the world.
