Magic (Frustengrad)

In Frustengrad magic is not only the fabric of all creation and the basis of all things it is also a living entity. The Lady is the keeper of the Fel and the protector of the Arcane Arts. She does not intercede in the lives of mortals, only revealing herself to her chosen Guardians. While she acts as the guiding hand for all Magic, she is not known to the world of Frustengrad at large.

The Veil of Magik
The Veil separates life from death and arcane from mundane. When magic is tapped into, it is by creating a small conduit through the material plane to the Veil to harness its energies. No mortal has ever seen the Veil, but the belief amongst religious and arcane casters is that the Gods are guardians of the Veil and sit in front of it, providing their power to mortals to keep the Black at bay.

Magic is an energy that cannot be created or destroyed but is also limitless. Despite this magic can be silenced using arcane arts of abjuration to bind a Spellcasters abilities to the earth, not allowing them access to the aethereal energies that compose the Veil. Creatures that have intrinsic ties to the Veil cannot be bound in this way, such as Demons, Fey, and other creatures that are magical by nature. Sorcerers cannot be bound in this way as magic is not a natural extension of themselves.

Studying this magic has become a major pastime for Elves, Humans, and even Dwarves, though their magic tends more towards the divine arts of the Gods of the Deep. As such during the Second Era, the Elves founded the College of Magic inside of their great city of Ny'ale but whenever Humans became the dominant race during the Third Era, the College was moved to Vatica.
