Magic in Estoria

Magic in Estoria is a mysterious force, deemed myth by many and regarded highly by the few who know its fickle nature. Those blessed(or cursed) with its presence form a fraction of a fraction within each nation, mistrusted and ostracized or invaluable oracles depending on their homeland. Magic can be manifested in countless ways, from conjured flames to summoned ethereal spirits to even teleportation. There are (10?) schools of magic, and each practitioner generally decides upon their specialization early on through trial and error. Specialization also varies by nation. Each nation in Estoria has a few hundred mages at most, though recently the Church of Ignis has taken a stand against the spread of mages in nations they hold influence.
