Preface

Magic is not common in the world of Terrasphere; the majority of people do not have access to it. Magic comes from a variety of different sources. Below are the 4 most common ones.

• Natural These people are born with latent magical power and can often express magic naturally. Rather than learning magic, they feel it.
• Academic These people are born with little to no magic and have to study it extensively to be able to use magic. Spellcasting often requires a large amount of memorization and practice.
• Faithful These people receive magic from their patron or matron gods. Instead of reciting incantation, they offer prayers. These people still expend their energy to cast spells, however.
• Enabled These people have little to no magic and can only cast spells because something else is enabling them to do so. These may be different beings or a magical item. These types are incredibly rare, however.
