Types of Magic Users
Casters - 25%
Casters are magic users who can channel mana through their own bodies. 25% of the population. They do not require a wand or channeling tool, but it often takes practice for a caster to be able to use their body as a conduit to channel magic.
Casters can cast/use:
- Vocal Magic (Incantation / Evocation)
- Channeled Magic, using their thoughts and body motions.
- This can be done via their bodies or a tool like a wand.
- Charms / Blessings (Creating magical items, or putting a spell on an item) Curses
- Curses require a lot of power to cast, and are often cast by accident in heated emotions. It is very hard to cast an intentional curse.
- Curses can only be cast via incantation or evocation, which means only casters can curse.
