Magic was the main means of combat, fun, and if you're lucky, making a living, but this all depends on what kind of magic you're good at, some learn the magic of festivities, which consist of launching lights into the sky and the lights burst into various shapes and even words. Combat magic was an entirely different story.
Combat magic was used to fight the enemies of humanity; monsters, bandits, and the like. The people tasked with this job are called Maguses, some are Knights and others are simple Wizards with no hand to hand combat.
Another thing about this world is the groups of Maguses that are formed all over the world of Celsteel, they are called Guilds. These Guilds are formed to either travel the world assisting others, or they stay in a single area and guard it with all they've got. One of these Guilds is the prosperous and famous Guardians of Legacy, a large group of Maguses, knights and Wizards alike, they stay in the city of Connam, the largest city on the continent of Higk. This group set rules around the city, no law-breaking amongst each other, but people have found ways to sneak around these rules, even though these ways are forbidden.
Another, equally infamous Guild known as The Braves, travel around Celsteel, its seas, its lands and even its skies. These four have been noted to be extremely powerful, yet just as childish and immature. Especially its youngest member.
(You will find similarities to Fairy Tail, but this is an original story with original ideas. This was just inspired by Fairy Tail)
In every culture, in our world, there are tales, rumours, historical references and legends that hint at the use of magic. Throughout history there are many legends of those that have the power to perform feats that no one else can. Folklore tells us of those few special souls that perform feats that can only be explained as magical.
In most of these fables there are tales of young men and/or women who find out that they have powers that they have little control or use of. Folktales tell us how they learn to control their powers. Legends also tell us of those few souls that have become teachers of magic. These dedicated individuals take our young people and train them in how to use these powers.
Then there are those that have great powers that they use to dominate others. These are the villains of Legends. Monsters that want to inflect their will on all those weaker souls around them.
This is such a story. Adica is a young girl that finds she has powers that she can not control. As she learns about her heritage, she finds that she is part of a family that has great powers that they wheel to their own benefit. The same family that just may have murdered her brother, sister, and mother.
Read on and follow her travels as she grows into a magical user like no other.
