Two quick questions:
1. In the interest check you mentions different races, what is the case with this mechanic? Do some have a strengths that others lack and vice versa?
2. You mention magic and skill, to what extent are these linked? For example can we chose magics that our character knows, or will you include that in the skills (also are there any limits to kind of magic that one's character possesses?)

I do apologize if these questions are a bit... out there, but I feel that I need to have them clarified in order to properly write my character - and if my current idea is viable.
