## TERMS

* **Wicca**(**n**)- **Witchcraft** or all things **magic**.

* **Mage**- Witches, wizards; everyone who practices and uses magic. Mages come of age at around 12, and often go through physical changes like brighter or different colored irises of the eyes. There are **three** **kinds** of mages' blood statuses:
	+ **Pure-Blood**- Born from **parents** who are **both mages**; this is the mages' **highest class**. The best examples for this are Kellan Xalvador (has an unnatural eye color and could talk to familiars, albeit a "late-bloomer") and Khaleesi Rosales.
		- **Warlocks**- Under the pure-blood umbrella are the Warlocks, which are the **most despised** type of mage there is in Belvoire. They're known to abuse their magic just to get what they want- they are the exact reason why the mage hunters exist in this story. The best example of this is Finn Adler.
	+ **Half-Blood**- Born from **one pure-blood parent** and **one non-blood parent**. The best example of this is Sapphire Chauvera.
		- **Familiars**- Under the half-blood umbrella are the familiars; familiars are **humans turned into animals** for whatever reason to serve their masters- the mages- whether they're pure-blood or half-blood. The best example of this is Indirah Alnazar as Blanca.
	+ **Non-Blood**- Born from **parents** who are **neither** mages; also known as an **ordinary human** in the story. The best example of this is Indirah Alnazar when she was still a human.
		- **Mage Hunters**- Under the non-blood umbrella are the mage hunters; from what the name implies, they **hunt mages** to **extract** the **magic out** of their system (thus making them a non-blood mage) for the fear that they might use their magic on something bad or dangerous. The best examples of this are Diether Lozano and Illias Alnazar.
* **Arcana/Arcane**- Its literal meaning is "**secret/s**" or "**mystery/ies**".
* **Tarot Cards**- These tarot cards tell the **past**, **present**, and **future** of a person. There are **two kinds** of tarot cards:
	+ **Major Arcana**- The major arcana, also known as the deck's "**trump cards**" include **22 cards**: the **Fool**, the **Magician**, the **High Priestess**, the **Empress**, the **Emperor**, the **Hierophant**, the **Lovers**, the **Chariot**, **Strength**, the **Hermit**, **Wheel of Fortune**, **Justice**, the **Hanged Man**, **Death**, **Temperance**, the **Devil**, the **Tower**, the **Star**, the **Moon**, the **Sun**, **Judgement**, and the **World**
	+ **Minor Arcana**- The minor arcana have **56 cards** in total and it has **four types**: The Suit of **Wands/Rods/Staffs**, **Cups/Goblets/Vessels**, **Swords/Blades**, and **Pentacles/Coins/Disks**. Each suit has an **ace**, a number of **2 through 10**, a **page**, **knight**, **queen**, then a **king**.
* **Astraean**- The **script** used in most of the writings in Khaleesi's Journal of the Arcana. Only a very few people can read and/or write the script, as it is considered as an **"endangered" language** in Belvoire.
