Magic on Chia isn't nearly as cut and dried as it seems. More than any other choice, the choice of 'magic' or 'no magic' in chargen shapes and drives a character, tapping into the fundamental underpinnings of the game's moral backdrop. Yet, in Chia, 'Shadow' and 'Light' are abstract notions that have a physical presence - far easier to explain a 'god' than it is a philosophical concept that reaches out to act on the world as it will.

This page is an attempt to help players of Shadow Touched characters to get a solid feel for and understand the depth of what it means to be Shadow Touched, and how it separates you, thematically (fireballs and wierd visual effects aside) from the normal, everyday people that surround you, and maybe give you some ideas for roleplay with what is one of the core conflicts within your character. Please keep in mind that if you're not Shadow Touched, this really doesn't apply - but if you're intending on building a Shadow Touched alt down the way, you might find it of interest. Regardless, this document contains a great deal that is intensely personal and not really understood outside of the Shadow Touched community. Please, read with that in mind.
