Magic

Overview:
The Origin of all the magic in Retallion in The Masters. These beings hold the humans of the world enslaved. They can use magic to cast great spells and work wonders. Humans don't have this ability, expect for those that may have some of The Masters' blood in their veins. This was not common and when this did happen the human child was found by The Masters and killed when their abilities manifested. It was one of these gifted/cursed humans that lead the first escape across the ocean. There were several other touched humans that came with in the first wave. No one knows what happened to the first wave, but their legacy shows that these people learned how to use their powers and did grand things with them. In the second wave there were fewer of the humans with the gift/curse. Before the second wave made it to the safe haven they exiled the touched from among them fearing anything to do with them.

The Dyr have a similar story to the humans. They were created by The Masters as an experiment. They were seen as a failure and were abandoned thinking they would die out. They instead adapted and made their way to the new continent. In this journey of survival and self discovery they learned how to use their magic. It is limited in scope, but varies in strength between individuals. They have access to the power of gifting, and use it to help them survive.
