Mage

**Mages** are humans born into a family, bloodline or a group of human subjects with the ability to use magic as an innate talent instead of studying. They are naturally adept in using magic; if humans can learn to use magic, then mages are usually more talented and more powerful than a normal magician would be. They still have the same exact limitations as regular humans unless they have specific immunities or even resistance spells.

## Description

A mage possess uncanny intuition with magical phenomena and all their myriad forms, allowing them to perceive and understand magic like no other and learn and master virtually any spell and school of magic with outstanding ease. Their ever-growing understanding of the workings of magic soon allows them to extensively modify any spell available to them, drastically increasing their potency and efficiency, merge them into even more powerful ones, and even create their own arsenal of magical trump card, while intuiting effective countermeasures to most spell and entity they come in contact with.

As their mystical prowess endlessly soars to ever-greater heights, they eventually reach a near-godlike level, triumphing over terrifyingly powerful entities and entire supernatural armies with little to no effort, often bounding them to service in the aftermath, forging unprecedented empires based on superior magical systems of their own design, and eventually ruling entire worlds of their own making, second only to genuine deities - and who knows for how long.

## Characteristics

They can also achieve a variety of destructive effects on magic users, including crippling and/or killing them.

Additionally, they can perceive sights and visual sensations from other dimensions and from past events, future events, or locations that are currently outside the range of normal human senses or vision. This also means that they can receive optical/visual sensations from things outside the normal range of perception.
