My thought is that traditionalist vampires do exactly that. Breed them, like pets. More progressive vampires may just let them have their own family so long as they stay with the original vampire like a Lord and a servant.

Unless there are additional breeding laws set in place by the Grand Coven though. The above assume they don't give a damn so long as the mages don't die out.

@Ellion I was more so curious because of the age of the students. But I guess if magical ability didn't actually manifest itself until recently that would make sense. I was just thinking that if a sixteen year old really wanted to learn how to play an instrument, they'd teach themselves if no one was available. Although, magic is probably a tad more complex that learning that. Thank you for the insight!

@WeepingLiberty Reading the lore, it states the academy helps guide mages into learning their magic. How much experience prior to joining do we have with magic? If our parent(s) were mahes, would we have some basic knowledge of spells or is it frowned upon to learn before attending the academy? If this was asked or clarified already, I'm sorry!

Joey and Lilith cause it'd be so sweet and cute and frankly fluffy is my guilty pleasure.

Looking for Partners!

@The OneHey what a coincidence! We are in a pending group RP already but if you don't mind, I would love to RP more! I normal do high magical fantasy RPs if you are still looking for an RP partner and I can generally post once or twice a day. I'm comfortable juggling two characters but if I try three, I tend to get confused on personality traits and my RPing goes down hull from there.

Just off outta work, so much I missed O.O

@KiwiBaer On the subject of knowing people prior to the start, we could have known each other. We could have met while I was trying to, abyssmally, compete with your brother.

I read through everyone's posts and now i'm all anxious for the reveal lol

@WeepingLiberty Okay so I'm expanding Alexander's backstory but I have some questions about the universe. I know you're posting lore soon so i'm mostly posting this so I don't forget. And if anything or all is going to be discussed through IC then feel free to ignore it!

Questions about magic

1) Assuming magic is primarily internally fueled, is magic also an environmental force?
2) Are there certain materials that act as enchantments to casting?
3) Do external conditions alter the difficulty of casting, such as fire in the cold or snow in the desert?
4) How does casting work, incantations, glyphs, sygils, magic circles, sheer will?
5) Do the characters know how to cast magic or only know they have the talent to do so?

Questions about the world

1) Does modern medicine exist?
2)What year are we currently in?
3) Do mages run businesses in the general populace? If so, do they keep their magic hidden or do they make it public knowledge?

@KiwiBaer It shows up just fine on my tablet though?

@RabidAnubisMaybe your Internet is just being wonky?
