People of all races are capable of using magic based on their exposure to ophelium. Ophelium is an element that permeates Verden’s soil. It is one of the most prolific resources a country can have despite how dangerous it is to mine and to touch without protection. Individuals who are exposed to ophelium dust in utero or at a very young age often develop the ability to use a special type of magic. In parts of the world where ophelium is common, even the animals are born with magical abilities as they grow up drinking water that contains opheliate particles. Sadly, many babies born after ophelium exposure develop brain tumors or suffer other mental lapses. Despite this, many organizations will ‘accidentally’ expose pregnant women to ophelium. Overuse of powers will cause headaches, but in extreme cases it can cause insanity or even aneurysms.
Ophelium is also used to augment technology, which is currently set in the medieval era. What type of powers someone receives depends on the particular isotope of ophelium they are exposed to. For instance, one person may have the ability to control fire while another can control spirits.
