Magic and its Workings

[Work in Progress]MagicBook.jpgMagic
Magic is a primal force, something that has existed from the dawn of time. Made by God as sure as the laws of physics it exists. It does not always seem to function in logical ways or ways that always follow the laws of physics as known to humanity.

The History of Magic
Magic has had a checkered history with humanity. From a wide variety of groups that embraced it to the slaughter that was the Inquisition. Magic has been with humanity from its very birth, though it was weak at first soon strong bloodlines began to emerge. Throughout history however strong bloodlines have had a tendency to run into hostile action, in other words they die, often painfully and brutally. During the rise of Christianity those who practiced magic began to fall under significant superstition and hate, often being the targets of violence. It was during the 12th century during the Inquisitions that the largest episode of violence would fall upon those gifted with magical talents. The Inquisition was brutal and efficient in its tactics, thousands of innocents were sent to death. The end result was the near total death of all European magical practices and bloodlines.

Within 200 years magic began to resurge itself however up to modern day European bloodlines seldom match the power of the old magical bloodlines. Other regions such as Asia, North/South/Centeral America and Africa were lesser affected by the Inquisition though each group would face its trials. Other regions however have never suffered from the near total loss of their magic using populations.
