General Magic and History
With a simple gesture of their hands, a wizard
can summon forth magic from both nature and places of darker
origins. Magic-Users weave magic the way an artist draws
a portrait. Muttering a few words and pointing at their
foes can hit enemies with the force of a thousand blows
or rend the very existence of the planes asunder. Through
magic, a person can gain respect, friendship, or money.
The key to being a Wizard, Shaman, or Farseer,
(among other things) is of course, magic. Magic is
the user's last defense against the evil forces
that threaten Azeroth. All other skills fall secondary to a true
magic-user of Azeroth, no sacrifice is to great to enhance
their magical talents. There are no universal magic's within
the land of Azeroth, various forms of magic are weaved from
many sources. Shaman and Farseers derive their powers
from the Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Nature itself. Mages
and their kin however believe that magic is a tool, not
a request. Mages summon magic from everything and nothing,
many feel they act carelessly.
Though none truly know how magic originated
in Azeroth, it is known that one of the demons' goals was
to suck magic from the land of Azeroth. Medivh and the Tirisfal
were the only true masters of this force and used it to
defeat the demons during the original invasion (set before
the original Warcraft). The Mages and Sorcerers are ruled
by a shadowy council of the most powerful mages in
existence.
Shaman and Farseers are commanded by the Orc leaders, and are often retained as advisors to those in high-positions.
