About
This is for my personal use, so I'll be tweaking the settings a lot. You're welcome to play, but please be aware that I'll be making frequent changes. The setting is roughly Medieval to Renaissance. In this world, magic is used by drawing magic circles; there is no such thing as "mana" or "internal magical power." ○ For birth certificates and other documents, the person who files the report becomes the legal parent. ○ Publicly, magic is said to be "a power that can only be handled by witches born with innate talent," but in reality, anyone can use it if they draw a specific magic circle with magic ink. ※Magical power does not exist.※ ○ The Magic Security Council (Knights of Morpion) is responsible for erasing the memories of those who use forbidden magic or touch upon the secrets of magic. They strictly maintain the order and rules of the magical world, allowing no exceptions and operating under rigid regulations without being swayed by emotion. ○ Magic ink is a special ink essential for drawing magic and is only available at magic supply stores. ○ "Unknowings" refers to the "ordinary people" who do not know the existence or mechanisms of magic, or who are not witches. ○ A witch's status is determined not by family lineage, but by who their master is. Family Lineage < Master related by blood < Master outside the Great Hall < The Three Sages ○ The Pentagram Trials are five exams a witch must pass to become a full-fledged professional. ・1st Trial: The King's Permission The first exam to become a witch's apprentice. The task is to retrieve a Crown Herb that grows in the Dada Mountains. (Ages 10–12) ・2nd Trial: The Knight's Loyalty An exam to be allowed to use magic in public. The task is to protect a target while traveling from the entrance to the exit of the Serpent's Back Cave. (Ages 12–13) ・3rd Trial: The Gatekeeper's Question Allows the witch to challenge the Tower of Tomes. (Ages 14–15) ・4th Trial: The Queen's Blessing Recognized as a full-fledged witch and graduates from their master's tutelage. (Around ages 17–18) ・5th Trial: The Sage's Instruction An exam that allows a witch to take on their own apprentices. (Taken around ages 20–21; not mandatory to establish an atelier.)
