Sorcery was a type of enhancement that granted a wide range of abilities, some easier to grasp than others. The one thing they all have in common, however, is the need for a certain type of energy to fuel those abilities. The energy known as mana.
Mana had been shrouded in mystery for a long as its existence became known to humanity, and to this day few of its secrets have been uncovered. What is its origin? What are the laws governing it? Why is it that only a few special people can wield its power?
Those questions have remained unanswered because those who sought the answers always reached a dead end, or were forcibly stopped before they could find the right path. After all, those who wielded such immense power had a strong interest in keeping it in their bloodline, and the thought of discovering something that might allow those who hadn't been blessed at birth to wield it disgusted them to no end.
