If these magic guidelines are to your taste, i'll have three charecters good to go shortly.<br/><br/><em>Across the face of Arka men have dominated magic for some time.  Just as men are physicaly stronger, so are they magicaly stronger.  Just as men are logical masters of symbols able to comprehend the mathematics nessicary to rapidly thread them together in exacting proportions, so can they internalize the formulas recorded in Prospero's Books and recite them fast enough to unleash all the power their arcane muscles can force through them.  <br/><br/>But there are other truths in the World, more ancient truths than those that conquered the world for the manly men of the empire of Arka and put the women of the world intheir collars or in their wedding bands.  Some might say more powerful truths, whoever won those endless, ancient wars.  <br/><br/>There is a truth of Dark Pleasures.  Courteseans kept it alive down through the millienia sense.  Everyone knowes that men and women born with magic have a theme of magic all their own, that they need no spell to unleash, and that men can release slightly stronger spells when angry, whereas stories sometimes circulate of women in love performing stronger magic for their beloved even after trying to learn from a spellbook and not getting much out of it.  <br/><br/>At the school of Atter Delecatio girls are taught in the old ways.  The formulas men use are a simplified way of teaching them some of the spells the most experienced of women ultimatly learn to organicly cast by blending power themes.  (Not unlike the way a wizard general told his engineers he wanted every soldier to have a magic missile and a decade later was presented with a regiment's worth of working model arquebus.)  <br/><br/>The old ways, though, teach women to do what men can't, build power by building up sexual energy 'til they have all the power they need to do what they need, then releasing it acording to one or more themes they understand.  A an understands the strom, then masters it.  A woman is atracted to the fire, she embraces the fire, makes love to the fire, then caresses the soul of the fire with a wish and the fire that loves her does her bidding.  <br/><br/>*   *   *<br/><br/>MAGIC:  <br/>First Year: 1 theme of magic (perhaps not totaly wooed yet.)  <br/>Third-Fifth: Sometime in here the students should woo one or two more themes of magic and learn a summons related to one or two of them.  <br/>Sixth Years: Are learning to make love to multiple magical forces at a time.  Thus a girl who as a first year could call herself, "Beloved of Fire, Wind, And Water," may now honestly call herself, "Beloved of the Storm."  </em>
