## History

### Origins

The *Homo magi* evolved in a parallel but separate line, alongside *H. sapiens*. *H. magi* are naturally adept at magic; since many humans possesses genes from *H. magi* because of their relationships in the distant past, these humans can learn to use indirect magic by performing rituals, but pure *H. magi* or their direct descendants can use direct magic.

The *Homo magi* have existed for as long as the human race, but due to their special abilities, they did not expand as the *Homo sapiens* did. Eventually, they started to interbreed with their "normal" cousins, resulting in many generations of *Homo magus*/*sapien* hybrids. As the number of pure *Homo magi* dwindled, they decided to go into hiding (hence the hidden ones).

### Pre-Cataclysmic Age

#### Atlantis

A large number of them existed along with their cousins, the *H. sapiens,* on the continent known as Atlantis.

### Post-Cataclysm Atlantis

Many lived in the city-states of Poseidenis and Tritonis, where they mated with the Homo sapiens and used their magical powers to alter their bodies to induce an artificial evolution via mutations to their new marine environment. Eventually leading to a more natural evolution according to their environment, an example is the Homo aqua from the mystical realm of Dimension Aqua through which the inhabitants founded the "country" known as Xebel.

## Attributes

### Powers

* **Magic**: *H. magi* are capable of naturally possessing and manipulating magic at will, unlike ordinary humans whom require the use of other methods such as arcane items or familiars.
* **Decelerated Aging**: *H. magi* can live from centuries up to thousands of years.

### Weaknesses

**Metamorphis Curse Vulnerability**: Curses like those of the nosferatu and Red Curse affect this species exceptionally more than their relatives, the *Homo sapiens*.

* **Vampirism:** While the mystical enzymes in the saliva of the nosferatu will change *H. sapiens* into vampyr within 36 hours, said same enzymes will complete the change in less time.
* **The Curse of the Red:** Because this curse originated from the Darkhold or Necrocomicon, the *H. magi* will fall to this curse in less than time than H. sapiens.
	+ **Lycanthrope**

**Human Inclination**: Pure *Homo magi* fall in love with Homo Sapiens at the slightest sight.
