How is Thelos Different

Magic
Magic on Thelos is very different from that of other worlds. Sorcerers, warlocks, and other spontaneous casters do not exist in the world exactly. And Wizards operate entirely differently than they do anywhere else. On Thelos, wizards can be categorized into a handful of groups. Spellcasters, ritualists, necromancers, though new approaches to the art could be discovered in the future.

Spellcasters

Spellcasters are similar to traditional wizards from the D20SRD material. The difference is in how material components work on Thelos, and how these casters access their spells. There is only a small chance that a person has the magical potential to be a spellcaster as their physiology must be compatible with the energy needed to channel magic through their bodies. While not everyone who has magical blood becomes a spellcaster, all spellcasters have magical blood. It is usually hereditary, and some races are more prone to this than others. Elves being the least prone due to a dark history of breeding out magical bloodlines.

Ritualists

Where spellcasters internalize magical energy and project it through their bodies, ritualists have discovered a way to harness the world's magical energy and bend it to their will. They are limited in the spells they can use, because they lack one of the most important components, spirit. They can, however, harness many of the same elements that spellcasters do, though it can take them longer. Rune Weavers are often ritualists first.

Necromancers

Necromancers are specialized spellcasters who focus on manipulating life and death. They shun the other elements, giving themselves time to explore other skills. Necromancers are often skilled warriors, or priests as well as magic users.

Healing and Priests
Healing works differently on Thelos than any other world.
