Whelp. Thanks for that info.
Anyway.
I'll post tonight to move things alooooooooong.
Join us Bee!
also I have a feeling that at somepoint someone's going to yell at Charles to be quiet :P
Fair enough, either way, you should check out the books
Well, Spirit evocation gonna be useful for a lot more subtly things TK can be really useful in all sorts of situations, magic is only limited by your imagination, plus veils turn you invisible and wards are how you protect things, keeping your home/base/whatever protected from all kinds of things, or hiding from detection, you can also use wards to set up traps and such.

What are the Red Court's powers?
They have their Vamp form, which looks like a desiccated half bat half man thing. They also have an ability called the Vampires kiss, where their saliva acts as a heavy narcotic, drugging the victim into a stupor and addicting them to the venom with repeated use. Some of the more powerful ones can also learn magic, but the average foot soldier does not.

Well right now, there's a war going on between the white council(wizards,) and the red court(a type of vampire.) Which is where our characters come in. As wardens, we're the soldiers on front line fighting against the red court.
Well, it gets kind of complicated there too, but it all boils down to belief, if you have something you believe in, that is where the Faith (capital f intentional) comes from. Like for example, Dresden has Faith in magic, and that can give him some powers right there, whereas his best friend Michael, truly believes everything in the Bible, and that the sword he owns contains one of the nails from the Cross of the Crucifitcion (one of three) and the powers of faith he gets form that helps him to be one of the Knights of the Cross (serious badasses, though they never use magic, their faith allows them to take on some of the scariest things out there)

General rundown? Mmmm That's one of those questions which would take quiet a bit of time to answer. Would you mind narrowing it down just a tad? Are you asking about the political atmosphere that's going to take place around our characters? How magic works?
<Snipped quote by Letter Bee>
Umm, the most basic rundown I can think of is that magic (and everything that comes with it, Demons, Monsters, Vamps and such) exists in the modern world, but they try to keep a low profile for a number of reasons, ranging from tradition, to fear, to more sinister reasons. Wizards are almost all under the jurisdiction of the White Council, a geritocracy that contains 7 of the most powerful wizards in the world. We are Wardens of the White Council, essentially the Councils police force, hunting down rouge wizards and protecting Vanilla mortals from the spooky side of the Street. Traditionally the Wardens are more combat oriented than most other wizards, due largely to their profession.
There is a lot more information to be had, it's kind of hard to give a brief synopsis, there is a lot going on, other major political factions, major scary things, and other things. Feel free to ask.
