Magickal Beings


 * For a list of magickal species see List of Magickal Species.

A magickal creature is a living creature that has evolved to passively or actively manipulate magickal energy to their own ends. All living creatures have some level of connection to the magickal field, but only will a creature be able to draw magickal energy from the field if the field is strong in the region the species developed. Additionally, a creature does not need to use magic in to a significant degree, it need only make use of magic to some extent to be considered magickal.

Magic Use
Almost all magickal beings use magic passively in some way, but some are also endowed with the ability to actively manipulate magic. Usually this requires sapience or near-sapience, though rarely creatures that are only sentient can actively use magic.

Development of Magickal Use
For a species to develop the ability to manipulate the Magickal field it must develop in a region of space in which the field is sufficiently strong. Charted on the Wharimn Scale, any area in which the field is of strength 1 or greater will be strong enough to allow a species to develop a strong linkage to the field.
