There are six major energies that can be tapped into by the beings found in Magitotum. Werewolves and vampires can easily access the primal. This animalistic energy is made by every living thing that breathes. When it takes shape, you can see the pale light of the moon. It is thought that the moon can bring out the beast out of even the most civilized creature. Next would be the elemental, or Primus, these that occur in nature. This force flows through the world itself and through every living thing. Shamans use this energy mixed with their own magical network to cast spells. This brings me to a second one, magic. Much like our nervous system, those who can tap into magic have what we call a magical network. It serves as a way for their body to properly channel the power. This energy pools in three locations in a sorcerer’s body; the brain, chest, and the abdomen. Because of where these are found, the one using it has a limited amount they can perform at one time. Overtaxing themselves could lead to their very deaths. There are locations throughout Magitotum that naturally flows a wellspring of magic itself, like their home of Mendaxum which can expand their abilities in the immediate area. Metaphysical energy, or Eximus, is characterized as being beyond comprehension. It is not that it cannot be manipulated but that the energies are not fully understood. For example, over in the land of Orario are the Tempago who manipulate the very fabric of time; something they dedicate their lives to master. Not one of them have full control over the force; as is true for any of the metaphysical forces. The final two energies are less known by most of Magitotum. The first is called aura, the internal fighting spirit. Each person has a unique form of this energy that appears as a color and covers the outside of the body. The form it takes can show the abilities the individual may possess. Finally, the last one is called chakra. This form is wielded by very few and connects to the spiritual energy that flows from person to person. There are seven pools of this energy that are found within the body. If someone taps into all of them, it is rumored that they can avoid death until they are ready to accept it. Necromancers are one of the very few that can tap into this and usually end up as key keepers along with Reapers and the Phasm in the land of Peractium.

A Closer Look: Mount Storia
Home of the Raccontos is located in the land of Petram in the Northern mountain range. A single road winds from the top of the mountain to the bottom and onto the Plain of Nocciolo, This cobblestone path is used for an attack strategy where the Racconto roll down at high speeds and flatten anyone who dares threaten their home. Along it are their home and businesses, carved modestly into the mountainside. Each dragon has a small den which usually includes a bed of rocks, book shelf, and a fireplace to cook meals. This continues on and up to the summit. Here stands the great Pietrateca, the great library of the Racconto. A brown brick library that stands at the top of the great hill. Walls enclose the top of the mountain and have several lookout towers that watch the plains. The library stands above all with a tower pointed above with a tin top. The tower has a spiral of brown, gray, black, and white stones that lead to the uppermost part of the building. Below the tower, the main part of the library has white marble pillars that stand tall with ornamentation influenced of Ionian, Corinthian, and Doric scattered every other. The grand doors are made of Redwood before entering the inner part of the library. Inside are shelves upon shelves of books that curve all along the walls of the library, making a maze of information. The ceiling has further carvings of stories of the past. At the middle of the place, is a desk that is circular with an attendant standing by. On the second floor, is an array of artifacts pulled from different parts of Magitotum history. Among them include but not limited to; a robotic arm from the Tech War, the treaty of the Conflict of Elemental and Metaphysical Forces, and a ring that Merlin wore during the Wizard’s War. In a far-off corner behind one glass container, is a small medallion of a cat’s face with elongated ears known as the Amulet of Tawala. It is considered one of the most dangerous items kept by the Racconto. A large stone spiral staircase that goes from the middle of the second floor among the artifacts to the upper tower. If one looks out to see they could see the mountains that are topped with snow. After many steps, one would arrive at the top floor. Inside of this tower, usually sits the dean on a seat made of blue topaz. The leader of their people, they are found with a book in their hand or looking over important documents retaining the the welfare of their land.
Species Spotlight: Racconto
The Racconto is a dragon made entirely of stone and are keepers of recorded history. Across their skin are etched depictions and writings of their specific field of interest; whether that be a specific people or land. They are found on top of Mount Storia in the land of Petram, the land of stone. In abilities, they are able to shoot rocks from their mouths, spew lava from their back, and roll down at high speeds toward enemies. Famous individuals from this species include Padconoscenz who erected and built the Pietrateca, the library with the vast knowledge collected by the Racconto and home of the dean of their people.
Species Spotlight: Omni
The Omni is a species of dragons that is able to use the abilities of all other dragons, even able to turn their mates into the same species as themselves. Their appearances range due to the mixed up genes that they inherit from all other species. Originally created to settle the conflict between the original species of dragon, they were once seen as heroes. Their founder, Omnes, dedicated his life to mending feuds between others starting out by ending the Conflict of Elemental and Metaphysical Disorder. Once he passed, his daughter Prima and his son Exim took his place and took responsibility for further lasting the peace. Prima took it upon herself to settle the Elemental dragons where Exim calmed the Metaphysical. Peace reigned even further. Slowly, corruption took seed in the hearts of these dragons as time grew on. It was at the end of the Tech War when they fully dipped into darkness. Led by Xerxes’ uncle, they committed horrible acts in search of dominion; the Genie Enslavement, the attack on Mendaxum, and the theft of Skapejuvel to name a few. They evil was soon snuffed out by one of their former allies, Delsey, came and wiped them out completely, or so everyone thought. In reality, she kept one alive for reasons unknown. Most of her allies assumed it was to show a sense of power. Now it is up to this one dragon to not only save Magitotum but to redeem his people.
