Medieval World with a Magical world setting
World Info
The magical setting of this world has three types of humans born to it, the non magical kinds, your regular every day humans, Fonts and Savants.
Fonts are humans born with the ability to generate and provide mana to Savants, much like a large fountain which feeds water into smaller basins. Like the Savants themselves Fonts can use magic, but are not limited as Savants are and can use whatever magic type they wish, doing so however disrupts the flow of mana to Savants and as such is not often done. Using the fountain once again as a reference, mana is stored inside of a human body, like water inside of a fountains bowl, the mana then flows from font to savant much like water would pour from a fountain through channels to other decorative smaller fountain basins. If the font has to little mana within the amount flowing to the savant will stop till there is enough once more, the reverse however is also possible and can be fatal to the savant
Savants are humans born with a particular magic type such as sword, fire, ice, ext, they draw from their internal mana pool which comes from a Font to cast their magic, some Savants can learn to provide their own mana, but such amounts pale in comparison to the amounts generated by Fonts. Simply put it would be the difference of trying to fill a huge pool with a small garden hose compared to filling it with say a fire hose.
The flow of mana from Font to Savant is dangerous and must be carefully controlled, magic in the world works via the soul flame which resides inside of every magic born human’s body, both fonts and savants alike. The soul flame works by burning the mana contained within the body most often which is filled by a font, if the flow from font to savant is to little the flame will burn mana till it is gone, then sputter causing the savant or font to lose the ability to cast magic till their store of mana is restored to a set amount. To great a flow from font to savant however and the mana will overflow and drown the soul flame, killing the caster.
The soul flame is a representation of a persons life force, if it is snuffed out either by mana overload or by damage to the body the caster will die, it is vital for a caster as without the soul flame magic can not be used; simply put if it goes out the person will die. To use their soul flame a font or savant uses the command word “Ignite” which commands their soul flame to start burning their mana supply, the supply which is filled by their Font. Needless to say its better to run out of mana then to be overwhelmed by it.
Simply put magic in this world is much like an old oil lamp, if there is not enough oil or in this case mana within the caster's body the flame will have naught to burn, to much however and you will drown the flame. It is almost unheard of, of a Font drowning its own flame as such a feet is hard and often requires an obscene amount of mana to be done
The world itself is in a medieval time period, lands owned by a king/queens and ruled by his/her lords in the king/queens name. Power struggles between kings/queens often lead to wars for land or whatever other reasons.
