Majjes, Sajjes, and Druids are usually Elens, as people who can harness this magic are the one of the few who can fight off Auldelens. Auldelens are immensely weak to magic, and the Majjes, etc learned this eventually. However, Auldelens can usually become Majjes, Sajjes, or Druids if they wish to hide about unnoticed in Elen society. Majjes, etc are very revered by the people, and are seen as protectors as well as wise ones.

All of them are very well known to be wise and quite intelligent, as the magic of Archaea-gaea is a mix of very complicated chemistry as well as some touch from the occult. Majjes, Sajjes, and Druids are all magic users, though they differ slightly.

Majjes usually use elemental spells and simple elemental summonings.

Sajjes are usually a Majje or Druid that has mastered their art and have practiced complicated summonings for about two decades.

Druids usually use dark and light spells and dark and light summonings.

Majjes, Sajjes, and Druids know two ways to use spells---using spell tomes and using summons.

Spell tomes can usually be bought in stores. When a tome is used (let's say it is the spring tome), the Majje, Sajje, Druid must rip out a page and click the tongue according to the incantations in the book. The page then rips and then becomes whatever incantation is used. Tomes are usually heavy books with blank pages---the tongue clicking madness is something that the Majje, Sajje, or Druid should have memorized.

Summonings can be used without spell tomes, however, they are very taxing on the user and summon very strong creatures. Know some chemistry, because most of the summonings are based upon a certain element on the periodic table. (: I once had a very complicated chemistry hoo haa thing planned, but since it's a pain, just come up with some catchy phrase and summon the damn thing. You can make up as many as you'd like if you're one of these three. Just remember which you choose and which elements go with it.

Summonings wil be written in Greek--you can use google translate to make short phrases.

Anyway, spell tomes---I won't list all of them, and you can create most of them yourself, but here are a few. If you have ideas for tomes, put them here!:

The Spring Tome: ((Majje tome)) these are about the only tomes you can find in markets for a cheap price. They're easy to wield and are meant mostly for archaea-gaean farmers to manipulate the weather around their crop. Very powerful users, however, can turn the spring tome into a wild tempest.

The Drain Tome: ((Druid tome)) This tome is a Druid tome, and it is also an offensive one. It's often a beginner Druid's tome, but depending on the level of magical prowess, it can be fatal. Usually, the drain tome sucks life energy and causes the target to faint over a shroud of eerie darkness. The shroud puts pressure down on the target, so on occassions there are bruises and nosebleeds. Those who are killed under the drain tome look as if they have been beaten to death.

The Sight Tome: ((Majje tome)) This tome, when used, releases a sparkling trail of light that can be used for several things. The Majje asks a question---and the tome's light seeks the answer judging on the user's situations. This tome can be used offensively at the target it chooses---using a blinding light. However, the sight tome works differently with every majje, obviously, because not everyone is in the same scenario. It's also not set in stone or accurate, because on occasions, the majje's influence over the spell determines its answer.

When making a Majje, Sajje, or Druid:

1. remember that Majjes and Druids are of same rank, only different types of spells. One is not more proficient than the other in strength. The strongest level is that of Sajje, which, as it says above, takes 20 years of summoning practice to achieve.

2. Potential majjes and druids are recruited by Sajjes when they come to town. Oftentimes, Sajjes pick out people that are intelligent and have a will to learn. There is no gift of any sort that allows a person to just magically learn it. It is a skill that must be taught by another. If you are controlling a Sajje, said Sajje was once a majje or druid, and depending on what they were, they will teach that art.

So, let's say A was taken by a Sajje and wanted to train them. Sajje was once a Majje. A will become a Majje.

If B was taken by a Sajje and Sajje was once a Druid, B will become a Druid.

M, D, S beliefs and superstitions:

Due to a question asked previously about whether weapons have magical powers of their own, I'll clear up that they do not.

At the most, weapons can be enchanted, though only for a short period of time, and the wielder can have it move on its own or other such things. No weapon really holds its own magic.

Some weapons for majjes, sajjes, and druids can carry their gem of preference which "supposedly" strengthens their magic ability, but that's merely superstition (i.e: Itren's preference of using the sunstone).


There's nothing really complicated over it---there's no system to which stone works best, because it's merely common belief. If a majje, for example, likes peridot, they will consider it a lucky charm or some such.
