Magic (Dark Jazz)

Introduction

Dark Jazz is a secret magic campaign, where the truth of magic is known to few and the operations of magic known even to fewer. For the most part the practical study of magic is limited to those who are members of secret societies that have guarded the secrets of magic for many generations. However some individuals have managed to develop magical abilities through independent study or the use of powerful magical objects. Others may even have developed alchemical solutions for achieving powerful magical results.
