[@ProfessorLambo][@Warbozz] I am fine with that idea as, yes, not all characters will be Aether Touched. Aether Touched his simply a comdition to become a Mage of sorts in Peus. 

[@CaptainMarvel] No race is strictly off bound as long as it is something reasonable. A half giant would likely never exist nor ever survive to adulthood. Magic is something different. An anima is the form one's connection to thr Aether takes upon taking control from it. Spells draw upon the Anima and its connection for energy however the caster will suffer if they are inexperienced or untrained and use something too strong. A major downside of being connected to the Aether with an Anima is the physical drain it takes on the caster. 

However, anything is possible with the power of the Aether. An Aether Touched could become like a God if they found the right books to learn from or teacher.
