WELCOME TO THE ERA OF MAGIC

Witches and Warlocks are ordinary humans who have learned to wield extraordinary power through discipline, study, and sacrifice. Through a contract with Aetherium, and a Foci as their conduit, they rise, to stand on equal ground with the supernatural around them. Without respecting this conduit and their contract with Aetherium, they toy with forces beyond their control, risking their lives in this balance. Their magic is respected as much as it is feared, capable of accomplishing incredible feats when practiced responsibly, or dealing catastrophic consequences when abused. Most practitioners live quietly, working as scholars, healers, occult consultants, or licensed mages under F.I.B. oversight, while others pursue forbidden knowledge beyond the reach of regulation. Throughout Midnight City, people often say the most dangerous spell is the one nobody knows has already been cast.
