[quote=@Inlaa] That's fine. I have a couple of other questions... So, firstly, does a person ever "run out of mana," so to speak? I.E., if Gabby were to keep casting spells for 10 minutes straight, would she run out of energy, be worn out, etc.? Secondly, how do mages view Ritualism? Is it something that's universally hated, or do a lot of mages practice it in secret, or is it something mages wish they could practice? Etc. [/quote] Yes, a mage can run out of "mana", or its equivalent in this world- I have yet to come up with an appropriately magical sounding word for energy. But as you cast spells you'll gradually get more mentally drained- if you abuse your spellcasting you could potentially pass out from exhaustion.
