A Brief Outline of Magii.

[Aeric Ecrai]

Since I feel the need to explain the system until my very long essay thing is done...

Magii is born into most races in the form of a colored "spark", which is how it is categorized. This spark is predetermined before birth and largely has to do with how people act and look.

The colors are:

Red, for fire
Blue, for water and ice
Brown, for the earth and nature
Black, for darkness and illusion
White, for light and the healing arts
Green, for the air
Grey, for the mind

Some sparks are considered unheard of and only exist in two or three people.

Gold, for the sun and justice
Silver, for lightning, the wrath of the sky
Azure, for the ocean and the rivers
Crimson, for the everlasting fire that burns underneath the earth
Dark Purple, for the shadow that stands by justice.

The owners of these are as follows.

Link Ecrai, aside from Gold also had every other spark.
Centis Stormwind, Vanguard of the air, had silver
Aoei Purifex, Vanguard of water, had Azure
Magnus Ignacious, Vanguard of fire, had Crimson
Vice Dek, Vanguard of Shadow, had Dark Purple
The Elemancer had a special combination of all the seven sparks known as Aether.

(The Vanguard and the Elemancer will be explained under factions...)

I assign your magii based on the description of your character. I suggest you make them the way you want them and see what happens instead of changing your vision just to try to get a certain spark.

Multiple sparks are rare.
Two sparks occurs one in two hundred
Three is one in five hundred
Four is one in one thousand
Five is one in ten thousand
Six is one in fifty thousand
Seven is nearly unheard of. The odds haven't really been discovered yet. All seven sparks is considered a blessing by the gods.

Magii only exists in living things, and only in the races that the elves gave it to.
Magii cannot be used to "enchant" any unliving or living object in any way.

For example: say you want to make a cloak invisible. This is nice and all, but it would require a constant exertion of one's own energy to keep said garment invisible. You would eventually tire and collapse because you have used up all your energy in making the cloak this way.

Magii is, in a sense, a life spark. It can only exist in the living and can only affect the living or the environment. You cannot "enchant" something, because this object has no life energy to sustain the ability.
You have to exert your own energy to cast or otherwise apply your spark. A cloak is inanimate. Dead. It has no energy and therefore cannot exert and illusion spell. (etc.)

The one exception to this rule is Polymerite Ore. A semi-living metal, it reacts with a Spark when it is channeled through. The art of forging said ore was perfected by the Drageroks, but long forgotten in a past war.
Vanguard Magnus is the only person in possession of the knowledge (being a Dragerok himself), but keeps the information to himself. He insists the materials no longer exist.
Polymerite ore as a collective has disappeared entirely outside of the gilding on the Vangaurd's respective suits of armor.
Commandant Ecrai of the United Army of Raoro and Fabrith is said to have Polymerite-gilded armor as well.
It is said that weapons may be also imbedded with Polymerite to enhance sharpness or overall performance, but such swords are rare and tend to be only in the possession of the highest ranking military or government officials. Underground guilds of high stature also tend to have possession of a few of these items.

I know, Magii is complicated. Makes it more real, in my opinion.
