Hexen Ward: Fae vs Mortal Magic
Fae Magic
Fae are inherently magical beings, masters of Glamour (Illusion) and Enchantments with some small skill in performing divinations and lesser conjurations. Some Fae are rumored to be able to magically heal wounds in mortals.
Mortal Magic
Not being inherently magical, mortals must learn to tap into forces the Fae touch as easy as breathing. Until they learn to master the simplest forms, mortal arcanists are vulnerable to detection and ensnarement by the Fae.
The lowest mortals with an affinity for magic - apprentices - quickly master knacks and conjuration and may even show talent with lesser divination. As journeymen, they begin to learn glamour, abjuration and greater divination, but at considerable cost. Only true masters can dispense with the cost of these advanced magics.
Unlike students of the Guild, Warders tend to master magics more erratically.
