A new document with the symbol of the enchantry lingers, one may find them selves reading such at a library.
The Arcane Gift
A thesis from the desk of First Enchanter Sarrion
The Arcane Gift,
A scar in which is embedded in all descendants with true potential. Willpower is the key to unlock this potential, and with it comes the plethora of power that is embedded within us. This power is not one to surpass GOD and does not surpass the powers of those who serve him, the arcane gift is simply one of true potential simple, as man may tap into with the true potential of a skill that comes with practicing with a blade or hammer.
This true potential,
It is one that comes with a lifestyle embedded in so many lives, From the Mage to the Sorcerer and Wizard ways we find ourselves so drastically distant from those who do not have such an arcane gift, yet we are truly indifferent. We are simply those who take up book and wand, rather than a sword and hammer.
This lifestyle,
It is one not of chains and oath, loyalty to serve, It is one in which the arcane gift allows us to fully embrace our art in which we paint upon the canvas that this gift allows us to access. We implement it into our very lives as not by choice, but because it is the path we chose to follow and with such as any man should we take responsibility for his choices. The arcane gift will make man weak, for the laws of equivalent exchange dictates that for one, you must give another. For our potential, we give our potential to do these other crafts and skills away, our strength.
But as always there are the lost,
Those who throw away their potential and arcane gift to use it for naught the discovery of knowledge or the power and potential of a faction or nation but simply to hurt. This blindfold of power engulfs the mage in ways that many might follow without magic, and use their power to hurt with incoherent and distorted reasons, or to torture for fun. We dub these of our kin ‘Rogue Magi’, ones who refuse the lifestyle of the arcane and embrace one known for cruel and personal gain. They are naught lost as hope may be brought to them, but in the end of they refuse such it is our duty together to amend this, and ensure the safety of not only other magi by the viewpoint of those without the arcane gift, but the safety of our ways and how all who gaze upon it see it.
In the end,
We all have different reasons from among our selves on why we choose to embrace our arcane gift. Some do such for power, in their minds linger the thought that perhaps a potential fireball holds high ground over the pull of a bow or swing of a blade. Some do such for knowledge, they delve into the unknown to bring the known back to descendants, allowing us to embrace a new found knowledge that we had once lost. Some of us were born into it, our parents embedded into the ways of the arcane for their own reason we grow up to look upon the arcane as something we must do, to follow in the steps of our parents as if one may become a knight like their father, or a smith. In the end, this is our life and we embrace this with passion regardless of why we took this path.
