I was basically just going to use a range from things like "Allies" or "Good Friends" going through things like "Unassociated" and "Neutral" all the way to "Enemies" and "Hatred".
Though they'd be more from the point of view of whichever column/row is whatever.
And yes, Andres, I was joking about you being a meanie. I do find your excuse for stopping rather poor, however, and the asking for 5 Essence rather unsporting. If you just didn't want to do it, that'd be a little different. But as it stands, it looks like you're just trying to get 'free'(you are doing something, after all) Essence, which wouldn't be such a big deal(still isn't a big deal, since Cim, for example, makes probably twice that in a tick) if it wasn't primarily an OOC thing. It feels meta and/or like mixing IC and OOC, which I think out of all of them is the thing that bugs me the most about it, I think. For example; are you no longer going to upkeep the Skyfeatures thing, since you were just taking over for Happery.

Ah. I though it might have been a school of magic Cim created or something dealing with contracts, pacts, and essentially lawyering in a magical way, such that it would become, to a certain extent, a battle of wills between Lawmancers as to who wins the case, with evidence or the like giving advantages or disadvantages.
Minor explanation of what I had intended for Highly Magical to mean:
Sorta both. Basically, an innate knack for magic, in addition to basically all of them being able to do magic to some minor degree, and a larger proportion of mages as compared to the total population.
And by minor degree, I mean that to my mind, and it might not be true but I feel like it should be but that's just because I like settings which are like this and not everyone does(and stopping rambling)...
Bleh. To me, almost everyone can do magic. Most people just can't do much. Maybe it helps them make sure dishes are clean, or reduce a fever just a touch, or relieve a headache(though that might be counterproductive...), that sort of thing. Really little stuff, practical things. Mending clothes, fixing broken plates, lighting candles. Not something you use lightly, as these tasks would still be somewhat draining/stressful for the average person, but handy to have if you need it. For example: light the candle with your little wick-stick or whatever when you can, but if you forgot it back at the house 30 minutes round trip away, use magic, deal with the tiredness/headache/whatever the consequences are for mild overuse of magic that doesn't burn out your soul.
The people who are properly called Mages are the ones that do very different/specific things with magic, the ones who find it comparatively easy to do, the ones who are able to do much larger scale magic, and those with vast degrees of magical potential.
