Actana is a magical fantasy world, which (in the standard timeline) experiences a major apocalyptic event. The survivors have decided to reach out across the multiverse to find a new home.
Magic
There are two main kinds of magic. Species related magic that consists of 64 specific powers that are divided among the 8 magical species. These powers are innate and something you are born with. And ritualistic magic.
