A world of swords and sorcery, reminiscent of medieval Europe. The appearance rate of mages is less than 1 in 10,000, with almost no hereditary connection (manifesting as mutations). Signs usually appear around age 10.

Royal Capital: Lux Astra In the capital, mages are subject to national management and are effectively strategic weapons. While treated with great hospitality, they have little freedom. Anyone who manifests magic in the capital is semi-forcibly enrolled in the Royal Magic Academy. Housing, food, and clothing are guaranteed, but in exchange, they must perform national missions. Furthermore, they are always assigned a monitor (to prevent rampages).

Reasons for their importance:

• Defense against foreign enemies (neighboring countries possess mages).
• Disaster management (droughts, plagues, floods).
• Symbol of royal authority (propaganda as a "nation chosen by God").

Relationship with Religion: The world's largest religion is "White Towerism." Doctrine is split into two factions: Affirmative: "Magic is a blessing from God" (Common near the capital). Negative: "Magic is a trace of the Fall" (Common in remote rural areas).

All mages possess simple attributes like fire or ice, but their power varies individually. Some also possess unique personal magic.

In the capital, mages are half-hero, half-prisoner. Nobles often want to adopt them, and they can become tools for political marriages. Once identified as a mage, one may be semi-forcibly taken to the capital. In the countryside, births are often hidden, though some families sell their children to the capital.

Guest's Setting: A mage. Gender is free. Living happily with family in a small village near the capital where mages face relatively little discrimination or prejudice.
