A King's Trust, A Villain's Hope, and their beautiful sister-to-be, A Queen's Lament feature ancient magic that's been lost for centuries. But at its height, Maurilel magic was divided into twelve families, each with powers based in an aspect of human nature or need.
Which family would you choose, if you were a mage?

Carvers
Carvers' blood-red magic focused on dealing damage and was especially prized for warfare.

Travelers
Travelers often left orange speed trails with their magic focused on quick movement and transport.

Swains
The Swains' gold magic bound, encouraged, and strengthened love and beauty.

Tillers
These mages of agriculture and fertility nurtured growing things with their pale green magic.

Tradelords
Tradelords could meet any need—but exchanges cost the mages themselves nothing. Someone else paid the price.

Fallacists
Fallacists' teal illusions & trickery gave them control of minds and others' perceptions.

Lifebinders
The pale blue magic of the Lifebinders was a universally welcome sign of healing and restoration.

Lineals
Focused on order, cleanliness, and security, the Lineals protected people from magic's chaos.

Verities
Truth, knowledge, and communication were the domain of the Verities with their violet magic.

Spiriters
The mysterious Spiriters focused on the celestial and incorporeal, including fire.

Smiths
Ever practical, the Smiths' silver magic focused on metal, stone, and creation.

Seers
Rarest of mages, Seers specialized in visions, oracles, and divination with their white magic.
