Types of Magic
Magic in Nepherasta is really pretty simple. You're either born with it, or you have to learn it.
Innate
Innate is magic that a creature is born with. It is learned through experience and necessity. Creatures with innate abilities, such as fey do not pick what spells they learn next, when it is time for them to gain a new spell, then the situation in which they are in will determine the spell.
For Example, when Nikkolys Arepharis gained enough experience and magical build up to learn a new spell during the Hana�Var wars, he learned sunlight because he was fighting vampires.
Arcane
Arcane is taught though rigorous schooling and study. People not born with innate magic can learn arcane by spending hours pouring over books. Once a spell is learned however it can easily be cast with the help of a magic weapon like a rod, staff, or wand. When a wizard wishes to learn a new spell they have to study hard to do so, but unlike creatures with innate magic, a wizard can pick his or her spell.
