Description: Terrest is a fantasy world entering an early industrial era driven by the human invention of the mana crystal powered steam turbine. Terrest is home to many humanoid fantasy races like elves dwarves angels and demons. Terrest is home to magical beasts. Magical beasts are creatures seen in mythology like drakes dragons phoenix pegasus unicorns griffons and more. Magical beasts are intelligent creatures some of which can understand and speak common languages immediately after being born and others are fully independent immediately after being born.

The forms of magic Description: Magic in Terrest can be used by magic users in three different ways called Theoretical Applied and Experimental. Theoretical: Theoretical magic users can experience or sense magic as magic flows through the world. Theoretical magic users cannot control or manipulating magic in any way. The distance and sensitivity to magic becomes greater the higher their rank. Applied: Applied magic users cannot sense or experience magic as magic flows through the world however applied magic users can use magic in ways that they have observed others use magic before. How well they can replicate someone else is based on their ranking with low rank individuals able to replicate weaker magic uses that help in practical tasks and high rank individuals able to replicate very powerful magic. Experimental: Experimental magic users cannot sense magic in the world and they cannot learn how to use magic through replicating someone else. Instead Experimental magic users manipulate magic into solid materials with the nature of the manipulation coming naturally to them. The higher the ranking of an Experimental magic user the more efficient the alteration of turning magic into something else.

Specializations Description: Magic users specialize on the form of magic they can perform. Theoretical: 15% of magic users are pure theoretical users. Applied: 50% of magic users are pure applied users. Experimental: 10% of magic users are pure experimental users. Theoretical and Applied dual specialization: 8% of magic users are Theoretical and Applied dual specialization magic users.

Applied and Experimental dual specialization: 8% of magic users are Applied and Experimental dual specialization magic users. Theoretical and Applied and Experimental specialization: Savants. 2% of magic users are deemed Savants and are capable of using magic in all three forms however even fewer are capable of mastering all three forms of magic.

Magic Manifestations Examples Theoretical: Magic manifests subtly. Users experience seeing feeling or hearing magic as it flows through the world. Some describe it as lights that illuminate nothing others describe it as feelings something that they cannot touch. Applied: Magic manifests directly and practically. Users feel magic flow through them to produce effects such as conjured flame bursts of water hardened barriers wind or controlled telekinetic movement. Their magic is stable reliable and resembles classic elemental or utility magic. They cannot see or experience magic before they interact with it and they can only reproduce effects which they have learned from others through observation and teaching. Experimental: Magic manifests unpredictably or uniquely. Users cannot see magic in the world and cannot learn how to manipulate magic from other magic users. Experimental magic users can turn magic into other things such as turning magic into physical form or converting magic into gold or sand. Experimental magic often behaves in ways that the caster does not fully understand.

Dual Specializations Study of Magic Theoretical and Applied: Focus on studying and observing magic's movement through applied magic spellcraft. Theoretical and Experimental: Focus on studying and observing how magic shifts and changes when manipulated by experimental magic forms. Applied Experimental: Pioneers and Hazard Handlers who test new magic in the field manage volatile phenomena and adapt magic to real-world challenges. Savant's study of Magic Description: Extremely rare individuals capable of using magic in all three forms and therefore studying all three schools. Even among them true mastery is almost unheard of.

Description: Potion making is a notoriously difficult profession in Terrest. To properly brew a potion a person must use the correct ingredients in the correct proportions and these must be added at the correct time. Additionally a person must be experiencing the correct emotions and have the correct intentions within themself while making the potion in order for the potion to brew properly. Any mistake in ingredients and their proportions and order emotions and intentions of the brewer result in a weakening of the brew. Deviating too far from what should be done for a brew can result in strange unintended consequences potentially fatal or explosive or at least very underwhelming.

The potion is then poured into a circle drawn by the summoner.

Summoning a familiar is considered a significant milestone for anyone studying magic. Familiar appearance: Familiars of Terrest like magical beasts are capable of taking two forms. Their Familiar Form which is typically animalistic with signs of their own magical nature and a Human Form which looks like a human being.
