magic in cqcc exists in four different forms ! people who are able to use it are called practitioners or magicians - the former is far more common ! practitioners are seperated into four main groups:

• wizards
• mages
• witches
• enchanters

each of these groups have their own unique way of practicing magic, and their own laws and customs ! they are under the protection of one of four gods - known as their Watcher - and have their own leader, and their own unique ways of selecting that leader !

other subsets of practitioners involve;

• witchlings
• famils
• the priesthood of prophecy

but ! witchlings are associated with witches, and prophets can't always practice - unless they have an ancestor who belonged to another practice, they can't cast spells. most commonly, prophets aren't considered practitioners, but mortals who are slightly closer to gods. famils are associated with both gods and witches, and are difficult to define in terms of practice!!

i could go super into detail about the different ways magic is practied in cqcc because it's something i've developed for ten years and i love it a lot a lot ! but i'll leave this for now and you can message me for more detail if you're interested !!
