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.
