Sorcery

Sorcery is more of a category than a single magical art- it is an umbrella term referring to the art of channeling leftover Divine Energy contained in one's body. The sorcerer uses the latent power trapped in their body to mold the world in little ways. This requires articulating the divine evocations contained within, a skill that requires great expressive abilities. There are three ways for sorcerers to occur, typically: Dracoplasmosis, Ederstone mutation, or Divine heritage.   Dracoplasmosis, or Dragon Sorcerery, is technically a disease. Dragomanders (draconic winged salamanders the size of a housecat capable of spellcasting) shed small magical symbiotes over the years. These symbiotes, when accidentally ingested, have a chance of infecting a person with dracoplasmosis. This isn't a serious condition, it just makes you more inclined to like dragons and capable of sorcery! Given the immune system's natural attempts to kill the symbiotic eggs, it typically requires years of prolonged exposure to dragomanders for a person to catch this. Dragon sorcerers often bond with their respective dragomanders, acquiring them as familiars and able to resurrect them if they die using a sulfuric mixture. Created by The Masked One, Dragon Sorcery was best mastered by Makoi the Dragon King, the only mortal to ever successfully bond with Kemegi the Dragon-God (Makoi was born in 348ME in Karema, Ekraht ). Dragon sorcerers are found around the world, typically near active volcanoes (the best habitat of dragomanders)   Ederstone mutation magic, or Wild Magic, is a possible mutation derived from Ederstone exposure. Wild Magic sometimes explodes into unpredictable results. Kobolds are incapable of this kind of sorcery due to Ederstone immunity. The greatest wild sorcerer ever born was Ustav the Springbearer (born 199 ME in Gennorholn , Stildane ). Most wild sorcerers live in or near Stildane.   Divine Blood sorcery was created when The Chimera took human form in what is now the Empire of Calazen , in -5000ME to create a demigod child. That child, Ghavi  the magnificent, sired many children and those descended from him contain a remnant of the Chimera's power. While this bloodline is now extremely common, only a fraction of those descended from Ghazi can actually manifest this power. The bloodline has spread far in the last 7000 years, across Inahng , Suneka , Stildane , Nafena , Maradia , and has even reached Ekraht  and Desmia. The greatest divine-blooded sorcerer in history was Emperor Esam the Great (born in Calazen, Inahng in 1810 ME).
