The abilities and items of those blessed by the gods do not follow any rules. One could simply gain an inordinate amount of strength, or they could gain the abilities of anything they eat. Most people only have one or two blessings from a god, if they have any. Those blessed by the gods usually become polarizing figures who have pages dedicated to them in history books.

Magic refers to the ways that humanity are able to defy the laws of nature. Various means exist to alter the world. The basis of most magic takes the form of mana; an invisible force that binds everything together. For those with great internal mana, they are booned with the ability to create. The many schools of mages create their magic using complex symbols and formulas that they have associated with chants. For mages, study is the way of acquiring power. Their magic is rigid, yet both the amount of spells they possess and inventive uses of magic allows them to become versatile scholars.

Alternatively, sorcery is the path of emotion for those with internal mana. Rather than rely on rigid spells, sorcerers understand and alter mana with little more than their passion and vitality. Sorcerers embrace magical domains rather than rigid schools. Their magic is highly versatile due to their formless spells that can be changed at one's whim, but they are limited in which domains they may exist in. A sorcerer, unless highly gifted and favoured by the gods, are unable to exist between opposing domains. A pyromancer is almost never able to enter the domain of hydromancy.

For those who are favoured by the gods, they may instead pray to a higher power to alter the world for them. The gods of the world are numerous, each with their own domain of faith. By becoming a cleric or priest of one, one may live in service to their deity. The rituals and prayers required by a god vary, as do their powers. Their methods in which they cast, could be considered as an intermediary between sorcery and magecraft. The rigidity of prayer, but the flexibility of outcome.

Some are neither blessed by the gods in their capability or favour. These people often turn to darker, more nefarious means of magic. For some, they tap deep into the power of ancient creatures that once opposed the gods: demons. Warlocks, as they came to be known, harness the power of these ancients in order to cast devastating spells. Though, it is all borrowed power. Everything has a price. Dark Arts, as they came to be known, are similar to warlocks. The primary difference between the two being that rather than make a deal, the user simply subjugates the demon and takes the power for their own.

Everything, of course, has mana weaved delicately into it. As a result, some magic remains nigh impossible. One can not crush the organs of another directly, nor can they alter another's mind unless the disparity in mana is enough to shatter the weave. Out of this, some methodologies have been born. Witchcraft, also known as black magic, is the means in which one can alter the weave held within one's body. Curses, possessions, crushing the organs of one's foe are merely a handful of possibilities for witches. The weave is ephemeral, however. To alter the weave requires great rituals.

Druids, on the other hand, employ the same concept of altering the weave that witches do. Rather than forcibly change them with rituals, however, druids live harmoniously with the weave. Because of this, they may influence anything the weave touches. While their influence is only temporary, they can cause grass to turn into vine, transform into beast, or even polymorph others with enough power.

Some magic, of course, defies all logic. Dragoncraft, the innate magic of dragons, has no rules to it. Dragons merely understand the weave and create, destroy, or alter as they please.

Cliff-notes:
Mages are the typical scholarly types. They have big lists of rigid spells and are nerds.
Sorcerers are chad mages. Instead of needing to study, they just pick a domain and do things. Pyromancy? You can now do anything with fire, limited by your mana.
Clerics pray to a god to get their power. They have to do rituals and prayer to keep their power and can't do anything their gods hate.
Warlocks make a deal with a demon/devil/fiend/ancient to get them to cast the spells for them.
Witches do highly complex rituals to make curses and do other things no other method (save for maybe warlocks) can do.
Druids are very nice and use nature.
Dragons are thads that literally do not give a shit about your rules of magic and will actively doodoo on any notions of what they can and can't do.

Humans are the bog standard human type fantasy race. Many different settlements and cultures, each based on the location of which they are. Humans are the most plentiful race on the main continent.

Elves are the stereotypical anime elves. They're tall people with pointy ears. Many different variants of elves exist. Traditional elves live in forests and worship nature deities, while Dark elves worship the moon and the gods of magic. While elves often intermingle with humans, the difference between a traditional elf and a half-elf is no longer based on one's parents. Instead, it refers to one's culture. Elves pursue the naturalistic lifestyle of their ancestors while half-elves live in settlements and participate in cultures formed by other races. There are often rifts caused between elves and half-elves as a result of elitism.

Dwarves are the descendants of giants, an ancient race that had gone extinct thousands of years before the current time. With short, lanky bodies full of muscle, they promote a culture of honest work and craftsmanship. Dwarven cities are among the most architecturally beautiful. Dwarven royalty is a strange exception to their traditional appearances. Holding more giant's blood than the commonfolk, they reach massive heights and power. Culturally, dwarves are insular and have a disdain for others. This stems from the fact that dwarves were treated as nothing more than a strategic resource to other nations.

Oni are a tribal people descended from demons and man. Their culture promotes a great sense of freedom and worship of their deities. Their appearance has great variance within its own race. An oni's skin and eyes can be a range of colors. The easiest way to tell that one is an oni are the horns on their head. Because of their highly territorial culture and traditional way of life, oni are considered to be savages and brutes by most other races. The dwarves, however, are most friendly with the oni. While they don't maintain a serious diplomatic relationship, the traditional art and craftsmanship of the oni are greatly appreciated by the dwarves.

Beastial Races come from an adjacent continent. Similar to Oni, they face discrimination from most of the other races because their nature as outsiders. There are many different beast races, each with their own culture and philosophies. Their appearances range from almost human with the exception of a few traits such as ears, horns, and eye-shape to bipedal animals.

No dragons or deity-like races will be playable, so don't worry about them. Feel free to fancify it how you like.

Name: Cinder Chaisum

Race: Human

Personality: A warm young man whose life is dedicated to the hospitality of others, Cinder just couldn't help himself when it comes to offering his hand wherever aide is needed. While he treats everyone with a degree of warmth, it's those he truly considers "friends" that he would do anything for. Another one of Cinder's notable traits is his strong belief in the good nature of others, as he believes that even those of wicked hearts deserve kindness. This optimism isn't blind however, as Cinder has learned that such rotten people are capable of doing dastardly things in his past life. Still, this doesn't stop Cinder from looking for any redeeming qualities of even the most lowly of beings, as he's always looking to nurture and forgive such people.

Appearance: Cinder is a slim, somewhat athletic youth standing at 5'4". The cleric speaks with a high, boyish tone and always sports an eager look on his face no matter what he's doing. He dresses rather modestly as he believes in function over form. The best way to describe Cinder's fashion sense would be akin to the sort of person in an RPG who wears the best gear at hand despite the different components all coming from different sets. Still, the rainbow of colors he tends to wear only add volume to Cinder's vibrant nature.

Blessings:
Abilities: Despite having a sword, Cinder's combat ability can be compared to a common foot-soldier. That said, Cinder sports the physique of a standard human of this world, if not one accustomed to traveling across vast distances.

Magic: As a cleric to the Goddess of Hearth, Family, and Community, Cinder has access to various protective and supportive magics. One such spell creates a magical ward that protects a target from hostile creatures so long as they don't perform hostile actions themselves. Cinder is also capable of casting rituals that can aide his allies in travel, such as cooking up feasts and warming bedrolls.

Equipment: Cinder is currently equipped with a standard longsword for protection. He also wears a set of mix-matched clothes of various elemental resistances designed for traveling through many environments as well as the holy symbol of his goddess pinned to a bandolier, much like a badge or patch.
