Things to know about magic in Castin: Magic is a deep rooted force with a mind of its own. Magic CAN be both good and evil! Once it latches onto a person, creature, or object it can be manipulated. It can choose a person, creature or object before they are created.
People: Magic can choose a person before or after their born, at any age. The younger a person is the more the magic becomes a part of them, so the older they get the more powerful they are. Evil magic that chooses a person cannot control them: someone who has evil magic inside them can choose to fight it though it is incredibly difficult and it is possible to change evil magic to good magic but you must be the purest of heart and fight it very hard and is therefore is very rare. The people chosen by evil magic are called Lectas. Light magic can also choose a person and the same rules apply. It is easier for an evil person to change light magic dark and is more common. People chosen by light magic are called Optivas. Lectas and Optivas can be applied to any race, either gender, and any age.
