  • Training the Gift of Magic
  • Mass worship or veneration, or on the flipside, fear or dread, can result in an individual gaining magical abilities; this effect tends to be "aspected" (positive abilities for veneration, negative/destructive abilities for dread).

  • Mana-based "weather" occurs, behaves like physical weather, and is predictable by trained wizards; can raise or lower the local mana level. "Storms" are also possible.
