I'm also very interested. I'd love to hear more specifics about how magic works in this setting/rp, and what we'll be able to work with when making our characters. Also, would this be a magically dominant setting? Or are martial/artifice types of characters equally viable?

To make it simple and viable for a wide range of abilities, we'll say all magic is fueled by channeling Mana from the Aetherscape, which is a realm of pure energy that encases and penetrates the Mortal Planes. More experienced Magi can manipulate Mana by sheer will, but for novices like our characters, they require an Arcane Conduit, which can be a wand, a scepter, a ring, an amulet, a sword, a floating crystal orb, a musical instrument, or even runes tattooed onto their body with enchanted ink. Everyone, feel free to throw around some ideas for Conduits for your characters. 

As for the types of magic, we'll say the Aetherscape has different shades of Mana swirling about, each of which encompasses an Arcane Art: 

Red Mana: Pyromancy (fire)
Blue Mana: Hydromancy (water)
Green Mana: Ecomancy (nature)
White Mana: Cryomancy (ice)
Teal Mana: Aeromancy (wind)
Orange Mana: Geomancy (stone)
Yellow Mana: Electromancy (electric)
Purple Mana: Cerebromancy (psionic)

Those are the eight approved Arcane Arts, but there are also several Forbidden Arts, which are all sub-types of Black Mana:

Dark Cobalt Mana: Necromancy (death)
Dark Scarlet Mana: Hemomancy (blood)
Dark Ivory Mana: Osteomancy (bone)
Dark Jade Mana: Chronomancy (time)
Dark Violet Mana: Psychomancy (psychic)


One thing to note is that I listed two similar-sounding powersets as two distinct Arts:

Cerebromancy: Using your mind to reach out and affect the environment around you, such as telekinesis, telepathic communication, creating illusions, etc.  

Psychomancy: Invading the minds of others, such as to remove existing memories or implant new memories, brainwash them, trap them in lucid nightmares, etc. Hence the reason it is a Forbidden Art. 

Sorry it took me so long to get this post together, spent many hours researching different types of magic to decide what to include, lol. If you have any questions about the Arts listed, don't hesitate to ask! XD.

As for types of characters, feel free to throw around some ideas! You could have a martial artist who has tattoos with enchanted ink as their Conduit, and those tats could be Words of Power in an Arcane Tongue (ancient magical languages/runes that were embedded into the fabric of the Aetherscape by the Old Gods like a programming language, thus causing the universe to respond when the Arcane Tongues are activated with a Mana flow). Or those Words of Power could be engraved on a weapon or item used as a Conduit. Or perhaps a grimoire/tome. Or machines/artifacts. 

I'd love to hear your ideas XD.
