[Suzerain of Sheol]

Oh I forgot to address mages last night:

There's nothing so simple as typical fantasy magic to be found here. For the various powers available, there is:

Psykhosis -- including (but not necessarily limited to) psychokinesis (pyro-, cryo-, electro-, tele-), telepathy, precognition (in the enhanced reaction-time variety, not seeing the future), and biofeedback (psychometabolism, optimizing the functionings of the body by taking direct control of subconscious brain functions)

Theurgy -- Spiritual magic drawing power from the heavenly or hellish planes. Can manipulate reality to produce miracles at the wielder's will. Is powered by the soul of the user, opens a conduit to the higher planes which allows the caster to manipulate the quintessence and overwrite the laws of reality temporarily. It has very little to do with faith or lack thereof, as the existence of celestial powers is an observable fact. About 85% of theurges channel Heaven as it's merely overwhelming, not actively harmful/insanity-inducing, though Hell sorcery can produce rawer, more primal and devastating effects for the same effort and skill.

Necromancy -- Manipulation of the relationship between the soul and body. Can duplicate some of the effects of theurgic healing miracles, but at a terrible cost (to either the user or the recipient) as it deals with the actual *extant* function of the soul in reality, and doesn't supernaturally shape reality to perform its function. Primarily geared toward controlling or destroying the undead, and killing the living, though it has other applications. It takes a horrendous toll on the body of the necromancer and will eventually kill them, though if their soul is powerful enough, it will live on bodiless as an Emim (Emite, singular?)
