Arukan and Maleficus

Introduction to Arukan
The Arukan (or Maleficus in Britain) are humanoids who possess magical skills and powers. Wizards, Sorcerers, Mages, Shamans, many names have circulated to describe the Arukan in the past, and every part of the world has a different name for them, but it all comes down to the same thing: humans possessing magical powers and the capability to make the world change.

There are many stories that have existed about the Arukan for centuries, and many terrible events (such as the witch burnings in several time periods) that have caused them issue. One thing that is true, however, is that the Arukan are skilled in many different arts from runic magic to potion making to conjuration and illusions. There is very little that cannot be done by one of the Arukan in some capacity.

Arukan look completely human, though they do live longer than their Sapien and Superus counterparts. Simply by looking at an Arukan it is impossible to tell whether they are an Arukan and, if so, what species of Arukan they are.

Arukan reproduce sexually. In order to produce a child of a specific genus (e.g. Himitsu) at least one parent must be of that same genus.

Genus Breakdown
There are two different types of Arukan that exist in the world today.

Himitsu
Himitsu, or Wizards if you live in Britain, are Arukan who study magic rather than possessing it from birth. On their fifth birthday they acquire a catalyst and start learning from two schools of magic (a primary and a secondary school). Unfortunately, they also have one school they are incapable of performing magic from.

Meiji
Meiji, or Mages if you live in Britain, are born with innate magic that exists from birth, though it does not manifest for the first time until their fifth birthday. Arukan are relatively rare in comparison to Himitsu, only appearing once each generation (in a family) and there must have been Meiji in the family for this to happen, as with all other races.

Variant Species
The Arukan do not possess any variants at this point in time.
