Alchemic Earth

The occult... it exists since the dawn of civilization... harmless, at first. Just another toy for foolish men to be distracted by. Religions, faiths, philosophies, superstitions... All served men, in one way or another. The first mages, sorcerers, wizards, hags, witches... they go by many names, but they all have something in common: they all use the arcane arts... they all use magick.   Every civilization had their own way of dealing with magic users. Some enslaved them, some trained them, some burned them at the stake and yet some did nothing. Regardless, magick was mostly used in warfare, and for that it became uncontrollable. Cities started vanishing overnight, entire ethnic groups were sacrificed, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions struck the land.   The people had finally seen the dangers of magick, but yet that was exactly what they used to gain control over magick again. Kruber Marick, a human born in the very beginning of the Dark Age, and at it's peak he invented a new form of magic... alchemy! Controlled magic... no, it was no longer arcane in nature, it was science! Bound by rules, by laws, by chemistry, physics, and philosophy! Arcane Magic was forever prohibited, now percecuted by alchemic government created organizations and secret polices
