Terms
Mana Mahogany
A special kind of Mahogany wood that can be imbued with a spell and linked to a person. Will draw upon the person’s energy to keep the spell active for as long as that person has energy.
Draining Diorite
A special stone found deep underground. It has the effect of drawing the energy of mages who come into contact with it, even to the point that they faint.
Spell Steel
A special kind of steel that no matter what it is forged into, it will keep the original spell it had originally.
The Axis of the Inner Collective Consciousness
A strange place where all memories and all dreams are. The ruler of the realm is a woman called The Lady of Dreams. When you are in the realm you can see anyone's memories.
First-Generation mage
A First-Generation mage is someone who has awakened their latent magic potential through one of two ways; through repeated exposure to magic items or something called a Beacon.
Second-Generation mage
A Second-Generation mage is someone whose parent could use magic. A Second-Generation mage awakens their power when they feel an emotion strongly enough. In my case, my power was precipitated by despair and rage. There doesn't seem to be many benefits to being a Second-Generation mage, other than the use of Shimmer Sense.
Lineage Items
A type of magic item where it will corrupt your mind until it becomes a fusion of yours and an ancient king. It will also twist and contort your body based on a wish you make. It will give you tremendous power, even ones that surpass one of the items.
Master of Magic
I am not sure what exactly a master of magic is, but I can assume they are incredibly strong mages. But due to my limited exposure with them I am unsure if there is only one master of magic per colour of magic or if I have met with very few of them.
Shimmer Sense
The ability to be able to see the magical auras of objects and people. Can be turned off but requires training. Only Second-Generation mages can have Shimmer Sense.
