Born with magical talent, adepts learn to harness their gifts by awakening the power within them. Few adepts ever receive formal instruction, and thus their access to magic is limited compared to that of magicians. Adepts do enjoy great flexibility, however, when it comes to discovering their traditions and they can tailor their spell arsenals to suit their needs.
Since their magical power comes from within, many adepts discover psychic traditions, such as Telekinesis and Telepathy, or become able to exert their will over fire, wind, and storms. As they become more comfortable with their capabilities, adepts might go on to become elementalists, psychics, spellbinders, and sorcerers. Most adepts come from the ranks of faerie (mainly elves, fauns, changelings, and goblins), though an individual of any ancestry might be gifted-or cursed-with the adept’s life.
