Schools of Magic
In Polaqu, two differing philosophies regarding wizardry have emerged. The first, known as the Zenith school, states that spellcasters must trascend mortal concerns and reach into the depths of mystic arcana. Zenith wizards usually come across as aloof and socially inept, but produce astounding results. The second line of reasoning, known as Nadir, states that magic is simply another facet of life and that wizards belong to society as a whole. Spellcasters who subscribe to this are commonly military mages, focusing on practical arcana. They use their spells to augment the day to day running of society, and are more sociable. Whereas a zenith mage stands out like a sore thumb, nadir spellcasters blend in easily with the common population.
