What would you like to know more about?

I'm heavily influenced by Mercedes Lackey, if you know of her. So in my mind there are two kinds of magic- mind magic and ley line or node magic. Mind magic can be any number of things that rely on power within the mind (mind speaking, firestarting, fetching etc). Mages rely on nodes of power within the physical realm. Bad dudes tend to use death and torture to feed their nodes, while good guys generally use what is available naturally.

For the races I typically don't have a limited set, although certain things like demons/angels/orcs don't really fit.
