The lord of randomness and the warp
MAGIC
magic in the land of algium and within the ageis empire is incredibly heavily industrialized, to the point where even a farmer will know a simple spell (mostly something to like clean the house or repair clothing) however most jobs often require a better degree of magical knowledge, however, due to issues with training people in high-level spells that only might be used once or twice a device called a "spell weaver" was created, it used mana collected by arraies of mana condensers to "cast" spells artificially before, being placed inside a geldium box to contain the magic, the box is about the size of your palm and a spell cube functions exactly like a spell scroll except without certain issues with keeping spells on paper, spell cubes are often bought by people that need a specific spell for one reason or another like lets say a farmer needs a healing spell to fix the leg of his broken animal, spell cubes are moderately priced for most city folk, often used by people that think they can DIY do complicated magical things, or think they might need some spell at some point, the issue with using spell cubes is that while anyone can use the spell not everyone will understand how to use them, factored in with the age of the spell and the purity of the geldium. so people will still hire those that know how to use the more complicated magic.

wild magic decay
raw mana in itself is a stable substance its inert unless the right motions words and other gestures are applied to it when mana is converted into a spell it is usually immediately discharged to do something, however, when a spell is stored like on a scroll the magic is kept together as the spell after some the magic begins to destabilize turning into what is called wild magic, destabilized chaotic magical components that in essence is like radiation, any being that enters an area effected by wild magic should be careful not to cast spells as they will backfire easily and even cause death or transformation randomly, thus a spells scroll is only safe to use for about a month. a spell cube, on the other hand, is capable of hold a spell inside it for up to 2 years as the "radiation" (as most people call it) is contained within stopping it from completely disassembling, however impure geldium cubes can lead to worse side effects due to the radiation being forced out of a small hole of impurities.
Smaller and more simpler magic effects that need to be used constantly such as small fireball used in an arcanlock are made form runes each rune is activated by certain triggers and draws form a active source of Condensed mana or an internal reserve.

one can be born with wild magic its simply that a person body produces naturally produces spell components that are destroyed as quickly as they are produced,thusly they can control it without causing "radiation"

wizards
wizards are those that learn the arcane through research and practice and boast great arcane power these days they are large academes for such things, but to train the necessary arcane knowledge base for engineers, mechanics and various other designers and rarely any practical usage of combat magic these days most wizards use more utility spells to get their jobs done thusly a wizard is more or less synonymous with your local engineer gunsmith or armourer. mages denote a combat role however but they are no different from a wizard in training, the greatest wizard end up being inducted into the halls of the "lichtechs" but that's a story for another time

sorcerers
sorcerers are almost all tithed from the cities of "Angroay" a small area within the Ageis empire where most people are either teiflings with dragon blood sorcerer heritage or Dragonborn with wildmagic heritage no one really understands why but the consistency of everyone being a sorcerer makes them a perfect place to get the much-needed technicians and repairmen for the empire while not as skilled as a wizard a sorcerer can "feel" the magic around them in a sense and in some way detect damages and issue with peices of technology and repair these issues.
