In the world of Formaroth, magic is an element that has greatly shaped the world, and events that have unfolded within it, despite the fact that only a few in a thousand can wield the power. When an individual is found to be gifted in the use of magic, they aretaken to the Mage’s Circle in the Summer Isles, where they will be taught under the different schools of magic as students.
There are many different types of schools of magic each covering a different area of magic (Restoration, Illusion, Destruction, Alteration, Summoning, Shapeshifting, etc.). Once the mage has learned the basic’s in magic, they will focus under a school of their choice. More gifted mages may learn under more than one school. Once a teacher believes the mage is ready, they are sent out into the world, where they put their skills to use. Some of the more talented mages gain a job as a High Magister; where they work directly for one of the great Houses of Formaroth.
Certain magic known as dark magic is forbidden from use. If a mage is found guilty of practicing dark magic, then they will be sentenced to death. Dark magic is considered to be of the following: necromancy, mind-control for ill-use, summoning dark spirits for personal gain and the like. As a result, it is rare for mages to practice such magic; however, the law has not stopped all mages from practicing the forbidden arts in secrecy. Mages are positively received over the general populations of Formaroth, as their talents are greatly valued. The general opinion of mages varies depending on the different kingdoms, as occasionally, burning mages at the stakes is still a common practice in some outer-lying villages in the kingdoms.
