Hiya! Can I get 3 and 10 for the Magical Ask game pretty pretty please? <3
Hey @owlishink :D thanks for question ✨❤️
If you're new, it definitely makes more sense to answer 10 first 🙌❤️ so!
10. Are there categories of magic? Can a single person use more than one of these categories, or can one person only use one? Are some people naturally better at certain categories than others?
Two Main Categories are Royal and Corrupt. But, later in the story, we will see Common. note:
Royal magic -> only for those with Royal Blood (the most powerful)
Corrupt magic -> anyone with knowledge of how it works (massive consequences to your health).
Common -> only 20% of people can randomly have access to it.
It could be possible for a single person to use all three. However, it is only possible for a Royal to use all three. If a Royal uses Corrupt Magic, they would have to deal with the consequences of Corrupt Magic (irreparable fatigue and possible addiction). It is also possible for them to have access to common magic, however, given that their connection to their royal magic is so powerful, (with common magic being weaker), it is likey that they might not even notice they are capable of using Common !
However, given the different types of Royal Magics (there are a few different kingdoms). It is possible for someone to be capable of more than one royal magic if they are descendants from multiple royal lineages.
My OC: Astrea is a descendant of two Royal lines and can thus use two different Royal Magics.
.
3. What careers require magic use? How so, and how are those in these careers treated by society?
Royal Magic users are literally - the royalty. So, in the Kingdom of Oracea, members of the royal family that do not become “heir’s” to the throne, are trained in different things to help society. (Since the people rely on royal magic to keep the city alive.)
Some distant relatives even have jobs in cathedrals as holy men, to maintain the ideal that the royalty are connected to the Gods even now.
Another magical jobs could involve direct maintenance of the source of their magic (A Relic Under the Castle that feeds magic to the city), to ensure it is working properly, and providing the necessary power to the city.
Corrupt Magic users can find jobs in University Settings. They can be educators. But, most of them are researchers. Since corrupt magic is a “New Magic,” there are several possibilities open for how to differently approach this type of magic.
Though, this ask is getting me to think more about the jobs that they could do… Perhaps they could be hired to exterminate new monsters that crop on outside the city. Perhaps they could be hired by anti-royalists to do jobs that they often relied on the royals for (like electricity).
Common isn't really discovered until much later in the narrative. But they'd be able to do skilled labour with the help of their magic. (For example: healers, construction, blacksmithing... etc etc etc.)

Thanks for the ask, I appreciate your curiousity! I hope you're having a great day ! ✨ (~ ̄³ ̄)~ ✨
