Magic Rules and Racial Affinity

Magic can only be used if you have learned it in character from a master or have applied for it on the forums. The only exception to this is if you're playing a race that has a natural affinity for magic, in which case you can use that sort of magic from the start. Magic is used by conjuring energy from ones soul or another source via a spell (spoken aloud or inward) and then doing what you want with it via yet another spell.
