MAGES & MAGICAL ABILITIES

Arkaines are all born with magical capability within their blood and bones, but only some are able to pull it from inside of them and manifest it.
These Arkaines are called Mages.

There are 5 types of Mages.

Lifegivers are those who are knowledgeable about healing spells.
They are able to heal themselves or allies easily through prayer or touch, as well as create protection circles.

Truthseekers are those who are knowledgeable about precognition spells.
They are able to look into the future and the past when looking through crystal, create wards, and even project their souls from their bodies.

Mindweavers are those who are knowledgeable about telepathic spells.
They are able to manipulate other's emotions, link their mind to another for a short period of time, and even hypnotize an enemy.

Soulshapers are those who are knowledgeable about psychokinesis spells.
They are able to manipulate matter, create shields out of thin air, and levitate themselves and others.

Priests/Priestesses are those who are knowledeable about all spells.
They are always very in touch with the Gods, as they are able to preform all spells, and even know a few that no other mages can do.

TELEPATHY
All Arkaines, Mage or not, have a bit of telepathy; they can send and receive messages via another Arkaine without physically speaking.
The recipient hears said message in the sender’s voice within their mind, and they can generally tell which Arkaine the ability is coming from.
This ability can be honed in on and some excel more than others. Usually these Arkaines make good Mindweavers.
This ability only works at a maximum distance of 50ft. If an Arkaine is skilled in the ability, they can speak to multiple people at once.

BLOOD BOND

All Arkaines can Blood Bond, in which they bite each other’s neck in a ceremony of love and trust and their minds are linked (emotions and memories).
Other species cannot bond with an Arkaine.

Bonded Arks can send and receive messages to and from their bond if they’re within 10 miles of each other without expending mana.
If they are further than that, the link is cut off or difficult to keep intact.
Bonded pairs can also voluntarily cut off the link, in which neither of the two will be able to receive any information from the other.
Blood Bonded pairs are for life (unless both drink a Blood Bond Break Potion) so choose your bonded wisely.

When using any kind of magical ability, the entirety of an Arkaine’s eyes will glow the color of their lifethorn.
