Magic is a wondrous and mysterious thing. Many have given their life to learn it's secrets. It can be as beautiful as it is deadly. The most basic principle of magic is that it uses Mana, a ethereal substance found naturally in many places around the world. Some wizards claim that every living sentient being has Mana inside of them and can learn to harness and use it.
All magic comes in the form of Elements. There are several different elements but they all boil down into a form of rock paper scissors. It can be explained thusly:
Fire > Earth > Air > Water > Fire
Light > Shadow > Light
Light/Shadow are neutral against Fire/Earth/Water/Air and vice versa.
The above actually applies to spells as well.
Mana Points (MP):
Just like health is measured through HP, or Health Points, Mana is measured through MP, or Mana Points. Everyone starts out with 20 MP unless otherwise stated and MP can be increased by receiving a Blessing of the Goddesses exactly like HP.
MP is used to cast spells and use certain skills. Mana does regenerate at a rate of 1 MP per every three posts. Certain Racials and items can increase the regen rate.
Child Characters: In this RP we distinguish between child characters and adult characters. Obviously a child isn't going to realistically do the same things as an adult, whether it be fighting or casting spells. A child character is any character who upon creation is 15 or younger. We have a few additional rules to abide by for child characters. They cannot cast magic spells that cost more than 3 mana. Your child character can also learn spells that cost more than 3 mana just can't cast those spells. Once your character reaches the age of 16 they can cast high level spells.
