Magi

Magi are magic people with the ability to summon and use the magical energy to their benefit. They usually use staves, special magic tools that help them unleash the energy safely and precisely.

Magi usually have green eyes that glow when they use magic. They can be both male and female.

Magi can't use magic anytime they want. Magic needs to use up energy to work properly. Usage of magic tires the mage out as quickly as physical activity. When the user's energy starts getting low, magic begins to use the mage's body heat. This can be very dangerous - if the spellcaster doesn't stop using his powers when he is exhausted, he may die of severe hypothermia, or even, in extreme cases, freeze to death.

When a mage dies, their body turns into fine, beige dust. This happens because the magical energy inside them rapidly leaves, disintegrating their tissues.

Uses of magical energy

 * Magic projectile - the power can be simply expelled in a form of a glowing blast, used mainly to fight monsters.
 * Telekinesis - this form of magic is not visible, it only makes air ripple a bit. It can be used to control the movement of inanimate objects, or simply to expell telekinetic force.
 * Altering reality - a fairly decent mage can flash freeze water, set objects aflame, or make air move, creating wind. More skilled magi can summon lightning bolts, move the ground, cause rain or even speed up the growth of plants. Erasing memory of other human beings or putting them in a particular mood is also possible.
 * Creating objects - magi can use spells to create inanimate objects. Those objects aren't actually real - they are "tangible temporal illusions". This type of magic can also be used to create elementals and bring magical sculptures to life.
