In the world of Empire, most people think of magic as the working of magicians, eternals or similar creatures. However, there is another form of magic which does not require the user to be a magician. Hearth magic employs the innate natural magic of the world to produce subtle but significant effects in much the same way that a compass needle always points to magnetic north. Hearth magic is unpredictable because it is primarily about roleplaying - it exists to give players a way to make the stories involving their characters more enjoyable. We also use it to give the plots we create a mythic quality. Hearth magic absolutely relies on people to choose to roleplay it to work, but it is designed so that the more you embrace it, the more fun you will have.
