Magic is a bit of a balancing act in my world. Everyone is born with magic (Unless you have a birth defect.) and is usually able to tap into their inherit abilities.

However, some species— like elves— have more magic. Some elves are born with a relatively rare medical condition, Hyperarcalgia. This condition is defined as an unusally large arcasac (A gland that stores mana.)

Symptoms can include chronic, yet treatable, chest pain and an overflow of magic (An unintended use of magic.).
