In this world, magic is a rare sight. Not all people will react the same way, and many shun it or damn it as demon worship. Taking a Magic Mastery thusly holds a few risks.
​
No one has inherent Magic powers. They are always given by a mysterious force or pulled from an item with an arcane past. For this reason, magic is split into 2 aesthetics.
​
If you pull your magic from an item, you can't use any of your Magic Skills if you don't have the item in your possession.
​
On the other hand, if the magic has been bestowed upon your body, your body will be scared in arcane runes and lines, that emits a glow when you use your Magic Skills. In this case, you can't be separated from your magic, but your arcane association is there for all to see.
​
To use Magic, you spend Mana points. The amount of Mana points you have is determined by your Soul Stat. Mana points are regained when taking a Long Rest. Seeing as Mana represents the power of your Soul, Using all your mana points leaves you exhausted. The GM can choose to have you take a level of Exhaustion when your Mana reaches 0. The 0 mark on your mana counter represents the point where using further Mana would be Lethal. It is possible to cast more spells, but this will result in instant death.
​
Some Magic Mastery's are "Claiming", this means that they claim a big part of your being in order for you to use them. When you take one of these Mastery's, you mark the middle and biggest triangle on the character sheet in the "Soul Availability" section. you can not have more than 1 Claiming Magic Mastery.
​
When a Magic Mastery isn't claiming, you mark one of the smaller triangles in the "Soul Availability" section of the Character Sheet. You can't have more than 4 Non-Claiming Magic Mastery's.
But these can't be taken during character creation.
