MAGIC GUIDELINES

[ADMIN]

Information

The six elemental magics clearly follow the same general pattern. The levels of each are Novice, Intermediate, Expert, and Master. Each of these, excluding the first, require a purchase in the Market. Novices have a basic grasp of their element, along with the ability (usually) to transform themselves into said element for short periods of time. Intermediates are capable of slightly more controlled manipulation and mimicry, and are given a third ability. Experts have complete control over their element along with the ability to fully transform into it, as well as another new ability. And finally, Mastery grants the practitioner a final power of unbelievable magnitude.

There is a slight vagueness to these descriptions in an attempt to give members a wide range of creativity. However, anyone who takes advantage of this in order to create a more powerful character or to give an unfair advantage will be reprimanded.

In regards to member group colors - a horse that belongs to one of the kingdoms, but is Barren, will still get the kingdom's color. A horse with magic that is not a member of a kingdom will receive the Loner color. Finally, a hybrid will get the color of whichever magic he or she is masquerading as.

All horses with magic are born with the knowledge of their magic and their innate ability. On their second birthday, they will naturally obtain the level of Novice.
