Hexen Ward: Fae vs Mortal Magic

< < < Back to Main Page

Fae

Fae are inherently magical beings, masters of glamour (illusion) and enchantments and the second sight with some small skill in performing knacks and lesser conjurations. Some Fae are rumored to be able to magically heal wounds in mortals.

Guild Arcanists

Not being inherently magical, mortals must learn to tap into forces the Fae touch as easy as breathing.

The lowest mortals with an affinity for magic - apprentices - quickly master conjuration and knacks. As journeymen, they begin to learn enchantment and glamour at considerable personal cost. Masters learn how to cheat those costs.

Aura sight, nexus, boneweaving, and teleporting lie beyond the Guild's ability to teach.

Hexen

Some claim the Hexen have some small trace of Fae blood in their ancestry. It is true that they fail miserably at any attempt to learn by guild teaching and that they are uniquely vulnerable to Fae influence before they have gained basic mastery of the magic within.

It is also true that they are attuned to forms guild arcanists can't master.

Priests

Banishment is the bailiwick of the priesthood, exiling beings from other realms of existence from the mortal realm.

Wildlings

Wildlings don't perform magic so much as they are naturally gifted with certain abilities by breed. Some magics seem similar to Wildling traits, but actual Wildling abilities cannot be taught or learned.
