Pretenses and Cooperation.

Planet Prxima.

Inside an ostentatious furnished study, sitting on two armchairs built out of the remains of a Grade 5 Wild Beast were two humanoid-shaped creatures with handsome faces and a glowing crystal embedded into their forehead.

They were the Magi, the native people of the Grand Alcana Empire, and a Grade 5 species. 

The physical appearance of the Magi was indistinguishable from humans with similar physical and biological facets. 

The only difference between the two was the presence of a glowing crystal on the former's forehead, which was a special organ that allowed them to cultivate a special type of soul power called, magic power.

The Magi had the inherent ability to use this magic power to fuel a vast variety of spells, which could be constructed by learning and constructing something called a spell model. The type and power of these spell models were determined by the type of soul one possessed at birth.
