Because of a life lived beneath the waves, telepathy is as common to the Atlantean people as eyes and ears are to those that dwell on land. Only very rarely is an Atlantean born without that affinity for this magic, leaving them more or less deaf to the world around them. Because of this affinity, allowing them to communicate with their minds, the Atlanteans are the most magical of the four races, though their abilities extend past that of telepathy. If you have reason for your character to be Atlantean but to have no telepathic ability, please speak with the Atlantean Staff.

Shaping is found heavily in the water race, whether it be the ability to shape objects, such as coral, their bodies to take on the form or an animal, or the bodies of others to heal them with magic.

The only forms of magic that are not found in pureblooded Atlanteans are the elemental magics of fire, earth or wind. Any of these three would indicate an impurity in the bloodline or that the character is a half-breed, in both cases, such a character would require an application.

Atlanteans are special in the fact that they can have two forms of magic without a separate application with the condition that one of the two magics is telepathy. A player can only put a total of 30 points into magic, with neither magic exceeding 20 points. It is customary to set telepathy at 20 and the second magic at 10 points. The reasoning behind this is that telepathy, unlike other magic, is evident and put into use from birth, where other magic abilities do not appear until puberty.

Chargen on Aether is not set up to allow for dual magic, so a staff member will need to set the second magic on your sheet. While in chargen set your other stats, leaving points unspent for your second magic. Contact a Staff member to request that your unspent points be put into the second magic.

For more information on magic available on Aether please visit the official website's section on magic.

If you'd like abilities above those allowed in chargen you can submit an application to the Aether staff. Please look over the page on Applications at the Aether site.
