The Magic of Arcana Code in summary

Magic Is practiced openly throughout the world. However, A lot of magic users limit what they do in the public eye due to magics long-stained history. Magic users are highly encouraged to seek schooling. Any mage who cannot produce proof of magical study are usually disregarded as rogue mages. There are establishments that offer tutoring in magic studies. These institutions can be expensive, often mages cannot afford a proper education and therefore seek alternative ways to hone their skills. Any determined ill use of magic is dealt with harshly by the Council of Magic. There are three main disciplines of magic: Primal, Arcane, and Blood   Primal: Primal magic is derived directly from nature itself. Whether it is the elements that make up the world’s resources, or magic derived from the creatures that inhabit it. Primal magic is immensely powerful, it can also be unpredictable and dangerous. Those who practice primal magic often have direct connections to it. Whether born of it or years spent living in the wilderness. Primal magic takes a certain respect of the natural world to fully unlock its potential. Common primal mages are those of druidic upbringing and are often found among peoples of tribal affiliation.   Arcane: Arcane magic is a very learned and disciplined magic. Some Arcane Mages consider the arcane the most powerful out of the three disciplines. However, it takes years to fully study and understand this difficult discipline. Usually those who can use Arcane magic to its full might are often too old and feeble to do so without severe exhaustion or even death. It takes years to master even the simplest of spells.   Blood: Many consider Blood magic to be purely evil, as it comes to those who either sacrifice themselves or others, to gain powerful abilities. To use Blood magic effectively one must give themselves entirely to otherworldly forces. This will instill a blood pact, a pact one must fulfill upon death. Many Arcane students turn to blood magic as a quicker way to achieve power. It is common to find books on how to commune with these forces while studying the arcane. Blood Mages often don’t live long enough to fully unlock the potential of their magic discipline.   Arcana Code: The physical Representation of magic. Discovered using Ancient studies passed down through lore. Arcana Code is the direct result and culmination of years of vigorous study. If used properly it can literally control most magic. Powerful Practitioners of Primal magic and Blood magic can nullify Arcana code with an innate understanding of their magical art. Arguably the greatest Discovery of Arcana Code is the ability to create artificial life with this code one can create and control a various degree of Automatons.   Magic can dwell in peoples of every race and even those born seemingly without magic in their lives can find ways to unlock it, However magic does come easier to some individuals. Even with the acceptance of magic in every day life onlookers tend to look at magic practitioners who are unaffiliated with certain originations with ill-favor, as history is stained with the bloodshed caused by rogue mages.   Fairy-Kin: Every Fairy-Kin posses some inherent Magic ability as magic is essentially intertwined with the existence of these specific peoples. Yet the majority of Fairy Kin don't embrace their abilities as they fear what they may be capable of. Various fairy Kin communities fully accept their magical association and take pride in their magical origins. Primal magic is most common with Fairy-Kin yet some do study the arcane as they arguably possess the Lifespan to fully explore it. Most Fairy-kin However despise Arcane magic and dismiss it as unnatural. Blood mages among Fairy Kin are rare yet not unheard of.   Stout Folk: Stout folk generally rely on industry and resourcefulness over magic. Arcane Mages however are not uncommon among the industrious people. These mages often explore facets of the learned discipline that pair well with technology, always improving their inventions. As a result a large number of Arcane Mages become Code Mages. Nearly every circle of code mages has at least one stout Folk sitting on the council.   Humans: As variable as the humans themselves are the Humans who practice magic. There are long ancestral lines of Arcane Mages whos decedents work to carry on the legacy of or even "out do" their predecessors. Isolated tribes of Humans dot the entire expanse of the continent whos people utilize the ancient primal magic of the land. Due to its ability to grant great power in a short amount of time, blood magic is mostly associated with humans, Yet it most likely will be the cause of the individual mages downfall.
