''Magicians'' are able to cast spells, summon spirits, and create magical artifacts called "foci". All magicians follow traditions that determine their understanding of magic. These traditions include ''hermetic mages'', whose control of magic comes through study and manipulation of magical energy or ''mana'', and who summon and bind elementals in lengthy and expensive rituals to be called on later; and ''shamans'', whose magic derives from a connection to nature via a ''totem spirit'', and who can summon the nature spirits associated with a particular place.
