Wizards

Wizards are men with magical powers, especially in legends and fairy tales. In the Shack Wizard Lore, Wizards are beings who can ingest the metaphysical cocktail known as mana. Mana is a psychoactive chemical that interacts with a wizard's pituitary gland and allows them to enter a state of total conscience to perform feats of Magic. 
== Becoming a Wizard ==
In order to use mana, a few things have to happen. The first one has to be a wizard. A wizard is only a wizard if they have the proper mutation to become one. This mutation can take on many forms, but since the mutation is most familiar with species of mere-mortals, most Wizards stem from humans and the like. This mutation usually takes the form of growth on the pituitary gland, called a Merlin Node, which instructs the body to produce a new chemical dubbed metacolorian prophase (Named after Star Wars Midi-chlorians). This mutation is usually mistaken as a cancerous tumor and the chemicals as autoimmune diseases which will rapidly age the body, effectively killing the host. Sadly there are only two ways to avoid death. One, ingests mana which would only exasperate the condition, effectively making one become a wizard, or two, have a dangerous surgery to remove the Merlin Node, which is only possible in the great realms of healers or by another wizard. 
In the end, once someone develops a Merlin Node, they most assuredly will become a wizard. 
== Magic ==
True Magic is different from the powers and abilities that Rankenfiles, Chimpillas, and Peace Lord use; which are an aspect of chromosomal manipulation. It still obeys the laws of physics- even if the rules are not understood by mere mortals who would often confuse these abilities and powers as supernatural. On the other hand, Magic breaks the fabric of reality and does not obey any rules. The most interesting thing about wizards is that because the mana acts like a mind-altering drug, the way that a wizard would interface with Magic will vary on the personal identity of the wizard. 
== Totems ==
Merlin, for instance, would use a wooden staff, and Harry Potter will use a wand. Not all wizards need physical totems; Shack Wizard, for instance, interfaces with his powers like a lucid dream. Whatever the case, the only commonality is the use of mana. 
== Mana ==
Mana is most potent metaphysical, psychoactive, conscious-altering drug known to the Omniverse. It is so powerful and addictive that The Peace Lord Union labelled it as a narcotic. However, Mana only works on Wizards; if a muggle (a non-wizard), it will interact with the person causing them to slip into a comma where they go on a hallucinatory trip until they die. Meta-chlorians are the cornerstone of a Wizard’s power in the Omniverse, acting as organic machines or alien AI that originate from another reality. These entities integrate with the host’s physiology through the development of the Merlin Node, enabling the use of magic by interacting with mana. Infusing the entire body, including bone, cells, sperm, blood, and saliva, meta-chlorians ensure that Wizards are wholly synergized with their energy. This blend of advanced biotechnology and magic forms the foundation of a Wizard's abilities, making meta-chlorians essential to their existence and their extraordinary feats. 
==== Creating Mana ====
The creation of mana is a long, complex process. Many of the ingredients are either extremely hard to get or are even metaphorical. Recipes for their creation have been published in the Wizard Handbook; however, most copies have been destroyed or lost. 
=== The Wizard's Handbook ===
When the Wizards were numerous and powerful, some got together and printed a handbook. The handbook had instructions on managing powers, interface with mana, and other vital Wizards Rules, but the most important thing was probably the Recipes for mana. All of it was all but destroyed during the Great Wizards Purge. 
== The Great Wizards Purge ==
In 309,056, BFD Yardaran led a personal Crusade against the Wizard's Nation. It ended when the leader of the wizards, Magic Wizard, escaped to another universe. Most of the details are lost as to what happened, but it ended with the mass genocide of the Wizards in two Omniverse. 
There was a tiny contingent of wizards that survived the genocide. However, they went into hiding. There is no known information about them.
