Magic affects it's users fertility, with each school affecting it in different ways.

Storm: They have slightly higher fertility. They are the most likely of all the schools to have pre-mature babies.

Fire: They have slightly lower fertility. They're the most tired and sluggish of all the schools when pregnant.

Ice: They're general level of fertility is average. They're the most likely of all the schools to have overdue babies.

Myth: They fluctuate between having higher and lower fertility. They sort of have "mating seasons" so to speak where they're more easily able to conceive a kid. They are the most likely of all the schools, except Life, to have multiple kids at the same time (twins, triplets, ect.). They're also the school most likely to have kids with birth defects of some kind.

Life: Being so intertwined with life magic leads theurgists to have extremely high fertility. They will also almost never miscarry. They have a higher than average chance of having multiple kids at a time (twins, triplets, ect.).

Death: Being so intertwined with death magic leads Necromancers to have fairly low fertility. They also have a higher chance of having a miscarriage.

Balance: They are normal. Boring.

When a Theurgist and Necromancer 'mate', their respective fertility issues sort of cancel each other out.

Necromancers, when having kids with another necromancer, will almost always be declared a high risk pregnancy and will be put on bed rest basically as soon as they find out that they're pregnant.

Teleportation and telepathic communication are perfectly normal things in the Spiral and aren't actually excessive to Wizards.

Teleportion is referred to as "Porting" and telepathic communication is called "Whispering"

There are certain areas in each world that people can port to without having to set a marker to port there. People can also port to their houses without any problems.

Porting to specific locations is a bit trickier. First, the person in question has to have been there before and they will have had to set a location marker to port to. People can only have 1 marked location at a time. If you try to mark a location when you already have one somewhere else, the old one with dissappear. Your porting mark will also dissappear once you port to it, so it's only a one use thing. When most people mark a location, they have to wait for a bit to be able to make another one. Wizards don't have to wait to place another marker, but they use mana when marking a location as a trade off.

There are some situations you can find yourself in that you can't port out of or that other people can't port to you, such as being kidnapped. The reason for this is unknown.

With some work and practice, some more powerful wizards can learn to port people other than themselves. Usually this takes the form of the wizard porting with the other person/people, but sometimes people can port other people places without porting themselves. Both of those takes a lot of practice and, especially at first, power.

The term "Friend" isn't just an abstract concept in the Spiral. People can still be friends without the documentation, but "Friends" is also an official title that has power. When two people become "friends" in the Spiral, they both agree to it in a magical sense. By doing that, they are magically bound together a tiny bit and able to port to one another and whisper to each other. Usually, when people do this, they have it written somewhere (such as a wizard's spell book) so as to better keep track of it, but it's not necessary.

However, there's a bit of a catch when it comes to the official "friends" title. It can only be applied to "your own kind" or people who do the same sort of thing you do. For example, Wizards can only document other wizards, pirates can only do it with other pirates, merchants with merchants, etc. That means that you don't get the benefits of porting or easily whispering to friends that are in different "organizations" so to speak.

While both people have to be in agreement to document each other as friends, the same cannot be said for ending it. One of them can just decide that they no longer want to be friends with the other and can just remove them, which will remove the magic bond that connected them and let them port and whisper to each other.

People can only handle a certain number of magic friend bonds. Once that number is hit, that person cannot accept anyone else as an official "friend" unless they remove one or more people from their friends bond

Whispering has 3 forms; 1 on 1 convsation, group convsation, and messaging.

1 on 1 convsation can only happen between two people who are magically documented/bonded as friends. To whisper to one of their friends, they have to mentally focus on sending a telepathic message to the friend they want to whisper to. When responding, the person who receives the whisper has to mentally focus on sending a telepathic message back to the person. The more you whisper to people, the easier it gets and less focus is needed, even to whisper to someone you've never whispered to before.

A group conversation whisper happens when someone decides to invite their friends to have one. The people in the group don't all have to be friends with each other, but they do have to be invited to the group by a friend who is in it or who made it. [Unlike in the actual game] You can be in multiple groups at the same time but it's not advised. If you are going to be in more than one group, it's best to only be in 2.

Once a Wizard chooses a school of magic and studies and uses it, the magic will start seeping into them more and more and growing inside them. After a while, it becomes a part of them, as much a part of them as their blood, organs, or soul is. That process usually takes about 8 months to a year in most Wizards, but it can be faster or slower for some people. Sometimes, it doesn't happen at all. That can happen for multiple reasons such as; the school of magic they're practicing not being compatible with them, the person not having enough drive/motivation or not caring about their Magical pursuits, their bodies couldn't handle or accept it, or the magic just couldn't take hold for some other reason.

You will know that the magic is fully apart of you once you get your first 'marking'. This first mark isn't that noticeable. In fact, it's not even visible, just a change in aura, really.

Once the magic is a part of the Wizard, it causes some permanent changes to the Wizard's biology. A lot of those changes are dependent on the type of Wizard they are, but one universal change is that magic becomes like oxygen to them. They can't survive without it as long as the magic is a part of them.

Wizards can remove the magic from themselves, but it's hard, traumatic (mentality, emotionally, and physically), and often times fatal. It's basically the Wizard ripping the magic away from themselves, tearing it out until it's gone. Those who survive it are never the same again. Their marks, once colorful and magical, turn into dead scars and they're left spending the rest of their lives between the magical and non-magical, while never truly being able to belong to either again. Other people are unable to remove the magic from a Wizard, the deed has to be done by the Wizard themselves.

Wisps are created from large concentrations of magic in the air. In magic dense areas, some of it will come together to form a more corporeal ball of floating magic that can then be absorbed into Wizards who need it. The type of wisp (Mana or Health) depends on the amount of life and/or death magic in the ball when it forms, with higher concentrations of life magic leading to the formation of heath wisps and lower concentrations leading to the formation of mana wisps. In more dangerous areas, there tends to be a larger amount of life and death magic in the air, so health wisps are more likely to appear. In safer areas, the type of magic is more evenly divided, so mana wisps are more likely to appear.

Earth has a little bit of magic, but it's very thin. There isn't enough magic in the air/environment for it to clump up into wisps like in the Spiral

Only Wizards can see wisps. Some special non-wizard people can see and interact with health wisps, but it's mainly just Wizards.

Mana wisps can be used as a minor power source, if a Diviner is able to add and properly connect a means to the device they want to use that with to transfer and manipulate it so the storm magic gets siphoned into the device. Mana wisps are a horribly inefficient means to power things as the amount of storm magic in a wisp varies from wisp to wisp. They're generally only used to power small things, usually for things used on the go (like, say, a portable phone charger)

Davido parts ways with manager
