The Mage Gift
The more common magic practiced in White Gryphon is the standard magic read about in almost every fantasy novel. This can be obtained by Blood-Path Mages (always evil) or tappping the ley lines (almost always good). Ley lines are like streams of magic, they often flow in and out of a node which occurs naturally and around the Hawkbrother or K'Leshyan settlements they flow into a heartstone which is a rock based in the centre of a city or vale which collects magic for the use of the occupants of the city or vale.
