Mages are the most influential blood on Vex’sar. Along with changelings, they are immortal. They believe in what they call “The Cycle”. The Cycle states that all bloods are reincarnated until they are born as mages. Within The Cycle, they believe they were born both as a human and an elf before they became Mages. This belief stems from brief glimpses of their past lives. No other blood knows about the belief of The Cycle save changelings. Even though they believe this, Mages have the reputation of being highly arrogant.
Some mages bind with a changeling to have unlimited access to the changeling’s sight and in exchange, provide the changeling with the ability to see and manipulate magic. Mages’ magic comes from the world. Every 10 years mages bond with Vex’sar to gain the power to use the world’s unlimited source of physical magic. To use this magic they must speak words in the Magelorian language except for wind magic which is easily influenced by a mage’s emotions. If they do not make this bond they will be powerless. The only exception to this is Queen Yas’ka who arrived on Vex’sar from another world.
Every mage has a pull inside them after being on Vex’sar for a few hundred years to leave and find “their world” in which they have a special connection. Vex’sar is Queen Yas’ka’s world where she only had to bond to it once. Only mages can travel to different worlds in search of the one that connects perfectly to their essence aka soul.
