One world peopled by various races. The dwarves, slow movers and yet as unstoppable as a glacier. The goblins who are said to know everything there is to know. The elves who hide in there forests but can control the body and mind of those they set there minds to and the humans. What can we say about them. Most numerous and most recently come to magic. They maintain a huge army and many of them practice the “new magic”.
Each race has its own magic which seems to spring from the very core of there being. Shaping and shaped by the caster. Lately the magic has begun to fade and all casters are effected by this except for the practitioners of what has become known as the new magic. Although weaker than the other magics it is more easily mastered and doesn’t seem to fade like the others.
Also Necromantic magic. A respected although very misunderstood magic it like the new magic can be found in all races although seems very rare among dwarves.
Although some of the common spells are known the higher arts of each type of magic is mostly unknown except to practitioners of the art.
[size=134]Dwarves:[/size]
Unable to run but very tough dwarves start with 2 extra hp (7 in total) and derive rank in there army directly from magical advancement.
They can cast energy bolts and warding magics to protect themselves from damage. There are rumors they can render themselves immune to magic and create barriers of pure magic.

Goblyns:[/size]
Collectors of knowledge there isn’t much they don’t know. Some suspect that they already know the cause of the weakening magic although few believe they know how to stop it.
They possess magics for communication with those of other languages and identification of magical items from the lost times. Also magics for locating vulnerabilities of things that seem to be indestructible. They’re rumored to be able to read the future and to be able to create interactive illusions.
[size=134]Elves:[/size]
Mostly they stay inside there forest boundaries keeping to themselves. Little is known about them.
There magics include sleeping spells and truth spells although rumours exist of far stronger incantations hidden from common knowledge.
[size=134]Necromantic:[/size]
Known magics include life drain and limb crippling. Rumors of undead creation and speaking to the dead exist.
[size=134]New Magic:[/size]
Unlike most magics is learnable by any race.
[color=red]The magic is still being worked on

For those not talented in magic there are other areas to learn and develop in. The world is littered with magic items from the lost times and attunement to them can be quite hard. Few have the discipline and skill to attune to the most powerful of that time. [color=red](More data to come)

There are also combat skills to be mastered and some train the body to be tougher and more skilled. [color=red](more data to come)[/color]
