Magick in Apocalypse is a fading practice with many of the old ways lost to time. However, there is a greater focus on the ordinary, with magickal plots kept to a minimum. Katpiar, was the last of the sorcerer-kings, having recently been trapped within the Great Tree of Unda, after a meteor laid waste to his City, he remains enternally trapped within the Tree, his stolen powers being slowly returned to the lands.
Sorcery is viewed as a lost art that few have witnessed, except for Katpiar’s templars, who use it to enforce their authority over the populace. In contrast, elemental magick is more common, with individuals receiving traits from elementals at birth, or manifesting them later on in life. Some consider this a gift, while others consider it a curse.
In places with a templarate presence, like Blackwater Harbor, Magick is restricted to areas out of the public eye, with anyone caught using it publicly considered a fool and subject to punishment by the templarate.
Sorcerers are killed on sight by many due to their unstable nature, and that they consume from the very land, decaying what they touch, to power themselves.
