Message From Jayce:
Greetings New Planeswalker, my name is Jace Beleren. I am a Blue Mage, and a Planeswalker. What is a Blue Mage, and what is a Planeswalker? Both are questions that a person with a newly awoken spark may be asking, and as such, I and several other Planeswalkers have decided to band together and leave messages about this and many other pieces of knowledge one would need to survive. More than likely you have gone through some traumatic near death experience, and awoken what is called “The Spark”. This Spark is an extremely rare trait that allows one to pass between various realities called “Planes”, hence the term “Planeswalker”. Along with this ability, you have obtained the potential to wield magic. To do so, one must be able to alter their mindset to one of five colors, each with certain philosophie and personality traits. Every person has a color that they will find easiest, simply because at their core they embody this trait. I will go into detail about what it means to be “Blue”. Blue mages often find themselves at home on islands, where they can be isolated and be around sources of water. Blue mages find the manipulation of water and ice to be easiest, but more than that, they can manipulate the mind and thoughts. They rely on Logic, and often use Technology as a focus for their magic. Most blue mages tend to solve problems through inaction, preferring to observe and wait for a perfect moment. The pinnacle of a blue mage is one who becomes All Knowing, capable of knowing literally everything. We by nature prefer to observe and see the potential in all things. We are the exact opposite of those impulsive, thoughtless Red Mages, however we tend to get along with White and Black mages, both of whom pursue perfection in some way shape or form, and those savage Green Mages, who insist on preventing the use of potentia because of an absurd emphasis on Nature and a reliance on their instincts.
Once your training is over, you will be free to decide your fate. For now, though, we are preventing you from experiencing the horror of the Blind Eternities, the space between planes, where beings of unfathomable power, as well as nearly infinite energy exist. Lastly, you may find that you can learn another color equally well. If you can you are going to be more versatile and will have a better chance of surviving this dangerous existence.
Most of us have agreed to this because the awakening of our sparks caused us to lose something important, or because through it they can influence your decisions and potentially get a loyal follower. Some do it reluctantly, in order to keep a semblance of balance and order. Some just wanted to have fun, and found this to be interesting. Some do it because they want to do nurture a new generation and see the growth of a newcomer.
We, that is to say the ones who have decided to follow through on this endeavor of helping new 'walkers, have created an artificial plane in order to help you acclimate, as well as figure out what the source of your power is. Several artificial styles of magic have been made to in some minor way mirror each of the colors of magic. I will be teaching you to be an alchemist, which involves learning and using laws of nature and magic in order to create and use infinite power. Be warned, as if you go in too deep you may find yourself being driven mad by the knowledge you obtain. I have said all I need to, I now leave the others.
Message from Ajani Goldmane:
Ho there, fellow planeswalker. I am he known as Ajani Goldmane, a pinnacle of justice and a White Mage. We White Mages take pride in our upholding the values of Law and Morality. We fight those vile Black Mages, who are supremely selfish, and those foolish Red Mages, who seem to never think of the consequences of their actions. There can be no mercy for those who destroy Order for their own ambitions, or because they choose to on a whim. I feel it is my duty to elaborate on the nature of the multiverse, as well as tell you a bit about myself. For all that I respect Jace, he is often times far to tight lipped about his past. Past arguments aside, I was born on the plane known as Alara. For the longest time this plane was split in five, each plane not knowing of the others. I was born in the land of Naya, known for it's wild jungles and the fact that only the strong survive. We Nacatl are a prideful race, and the Leonin tribe most of all. I was an outcast of my people, an albino. I was viewed as an abomination, with a terrible power to use magic to manipulate my soul and the souls of others, as well as pure white fur. My journey began when an unknown Black Mage summoned shades in the middle of the night while my tribe slept after a night of celebration. I do not wish to go into sepcifics, but my journey was truly one for the history books. Full of revenge and a fight between good and evil, any story teller would dream of telling my story.
Now, I must tell you of the artificial magic I have created. Using raw power, and attempting to keep it balanced is what I will be teaching you. In some ways it is blue, but at it's core it is purely white. Keeping the transfer of power in balance and learning the laws that they contain will help you see if you truly have what it takes to be a pinnacle of peace and order.
Message from Garruk Wildspeaker:
Welcome younling to your new life. I am Garruk Wildspeaker, a Green Mage, and one who communes with the beasts that populate the Multiverse. We Green Mages fight the pox that is Blue and Black Magic. Those who would destroy nature in the pursuit of knowledge and power are the kinds I despise. However, any White Mages who help keep the order of Nature intact, and Red Mages, who are true to themselves and their Emotions are people who I can respect. We Green Mages rely on our instincts and believe that everything that we are is dependent on everybody else. Nothing gives me more joy than to raise the young and new to maturity, and watch them Grow as time passes. Above all I value using my instincts and intuition in order to live in harmony with the land.
For all my life, my father taught me to live as one with the land, to tend to it and treat it with kindness, and that in turn it will give you everything you could ever need.
The artificial magic I have shown you relies on the use of nature, and a willingness to complete things not with logic, but with intuition, and to do what your instincts tell you. It will show me that you are truly one with Nature. Be warned however, some aspects of it are Black in nature
