Ancients

What is an Ancient?
An ancient is an extremely powerful mage that can use spells, curses, jinxes, charms, hexes, and concoct potions to use for whatever they need (or want). The catch with with them is, they need no wand or staff, as long as you have a special pendant you can summon the power of the Ancient Civilzations long ago, hence the name.

Ancients cannot have any other mage practices.

Founding of Ancient Casting
Edgar Oeparton IV had been a teenager entering his young adult years when he discovered the power of the Ancients. He had been exploring a nearby forest, and stumbled upon a waterfall. However, this watefall was a bit odd, as it was a misty green hue. Edgar dipped his hand in to get a drink, but as soon as his finger tips touched the water, he felt a rush of sudden magical energy.

Edgar took his hand out and stared at it. It was perfectly fine. When he went to speak, he spit out something he called at the time "gibberish" but it was actually a spell. Fifteen years later, after investigating the river and analyzing it, he was able to freely conjure this power without having to return to the river. At age 68, he shared his discovery with the world after a few more tests.
