“Mana is the chaotic existence of scattered energy flows in nature. Induction, absorption, transformation, and exploitation of this energy flow are four fundamental concepts in using magic. There is no higher understanding than these four, all spells in the world are them, and the skill level of each mage is based on the mastery of these four basic concepts. On the journey of a high magus, the starting point is also the end point. There is no magic without consequences, a mage who believes in the balance of nature will not slip from the righteous path. The dark paths, they're hauntingly seductive - like necromancy has been outright banned for thousands of years.

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Every fallen mage is a great loss to our cause, and an incalculable danger to the world. Chaos is mana, order is enhancing this mana into magic. Mages are those who bring order out of chaos, always remember this.” – Introduction to Practical Magic - Vermillion Elaine, Acting Principal of Sol Mylan Academy.

Immersed in the path of pursuing absolute knowledge, mages are individuals who can recognize and utilize the flow of magic in nature, smoothly coordinating four elements Ignis - Aqua - Terra - Aer to cast powerful spells. Different from the holy nature of chants and miracles from monks and clerics, a true mage may - or may not - undergo training to use every elemental resource around them. Mastering the art requires a rigorous academic process, the most devoted might hope in a lifetime to have adequate recollection of three spells—four at most. Ordinary wizards were content to know two, and it was not uncommon for a village mage to know only one. But for the Elves mages, who had inherited the immortality of the Ancient God Halvarheim and the mastery of all energies from Marna – the Elven High Mages could master dozens of magic of all classes, having the essence of all four basic elements. The arrival of the Elven High Mage will change the tide of war.

However, a group of Elven High Mages, corrupted by their obsession with magic, had created the Sin Runes - artificial versions of the Fallen Runes. This leads to the infamous witch hunt, as well as to the extermination of mages in the Great Catastrophe. Now, perhaps a few Elven High Mages still existed in their quest for knowledge, even after the world had ended.
