BLACKJACK!
Years ago, when there was still magic in the world, the fabled pair, Charles and Rebecca, lived. They started their lives as servants of the king but rose to great power. They built a kingdom from the ruin of a great castle in the middle of a lake. However, the beasts of magic began to be hunted by minions of a great evil. These minions used the magic inherent in these creatures and people to fuel their own powers, while siphoning it from others. Charles froze the kingdom between monents in the timestream with a few members of The Arcanum Magi. Many beasts of magic were also sealed within in the castle. Once this was done Rebecca used all of her energy to seal the kingdom off from the eyes of man. At that time she faded from the world for many years. It was said that every one hundred years, she was reborn and went in search for the great kingdom, to free it from the spell that had preserved it.
Now in modern times Rebecca has returned once again, still young, and found the great kingdom, once again finding Charles at the heart of the castle suspended in time by his own magic. Finally freeing him, she has returned magic into the world. The rarest of magi called the Restorers, that were frozen in time, have gone back to work awakening the magic within people, and places, and bringing magical beasts back into the world. The castle itself was said to be the birth place of magic and has a great source of magic. Now it acts as a college for the Magi, as well as a sanctum for all who use magic. Still hidden from the world the siphoners, now called "The Ravelers" cannot find the castle, in fact only one of the Magi can bring the uninitiated to the castle.
Magic system
Neutral magic is a defensive, and it focuses on manipulating the environment. It can also serve as a weapon on rare occasion, such as dropping a bolder on some one. On the rare occasions Neutral magic tends to transform into light or dark magic. Typical uses are telekinesis, teleportation, forming energy from nothing, and shaping the landscape into useful objects like bridges or making a boat from Ice. It can be used to form shields to block Light or Dark magic with equal fervor. Weapons made of Neutral magic only do damage when paired with light or dark magic, most often forming Neutral weapons that can dispel magical effects.
Light magic usually serves as a weapon opposing darkness. It can be used to increases someone strength or to heal. Light magic is used when making weapons and is used to nullify dark magic. It can also be used as a defense by using a great deal of energy to make a barrier. Light magic can be used to create illusions and deceive others. It can make things invisible, make heavy objects lighter, or create pure sunlight even indoors in total darkness.
Dark magic also serves as a weapon, it is also used when making weapons that negate light magic or deal wounds by causing the body to decay rapidly.. Dark magic tends to manipulate people into doing what a caster desires. It can also be used to nullify light magic. It can be used in enchanting buildings to serve a casters desire, it can also curse people which can cause any sort of horror. Dark magic is also the realm of necromancy, bringing the dead back to life, or raising the undead to serve their purposes. It can make deathly cold and remove all light or sound from an area.
Nature magic is the magic is the Restorers purview alone, it can summon storms or weather, lightning spells, animate plants or trees. It can charm or manipulate animals, making them larger. It can transform one creature into another, and form the elements into anything he desires. Minor nature magic can charm, tame or train animals, or make them more intelligent. Beast masters can summon the beasts of the world and command them. He can become a beast or simply take the abilities of a form that suit his needs, crafting wings, talons, strong jaws, or horns. They also learn to attune to the magical places and creatures of the world. They can use this connection to advise the Restorers on where to find these locations. Restorers, pure nature magi, they can summon the magical beasts of the world. Dragons, griffins, unicorns, and elemental. There is a ritual to connect the power of the castle to the animal, person, or place that has magical residue. They can infuse their innate magical energy into creature or place with magical potential and transform it into the magical place or beast it was meant to be so long ago. Often this is how other Magi find their magic.
All of the magics can be used to guide the caster to their goals, and achieve their desires.
The Magi system (No one can choose the top tier of the two branches unless they have been given permission)
Most mages are part of The Arcanum Magi, which is the religion of mages as well as the college all magic stems from.
High Priests and High Priestesses are the most powerful mages, the can control three of the four magics, and are the most skilled in the arts. They can only control light, dark and neutral magic.
Magus are second to the Priests and Priestesses, they can control two of the four magics. They can only control two magics out of light dark or neutral.
Acolyte are the lowest level of the priesthood and can only control one magic out of light, dark or neutral.
Restorers compare on a different level from the rest, there are different levels of restorers.
The restorers are the ultimate vessels, or containers of magic. where others study and learn to use magic, restorers learn to harness and form the overflowing concentration of it. Restorers, being such concentration of magic, would need guardians lest their opponents, those that siphon magic would hunt them above all else.
Restorer can create unique nature magics, and summon magical beasts
Masters have advanced nature magic and summon beasts
Beast tamers have minor nature and animal companion
Of the people whose magic has been awakened by the Restorers, some of these people have a strong force of magic (they are strong in the force) and the magic chooses the Restorer. The Arcanum simply trains them properly lest their power leak into the world causing havoc as magical effects randomly occur. Restorers are a rare breed and so most often are accompanied by guardians to protect this treasured resource.
