As I've combed through the profiles of new characters, I guess specifically those of more veteran SoTErs, I've noticed a handful of common races and magical practices not mentioned on the wiki. I was wondering if there's any concrete information or general consensus on the following:
Shifters
They seem to be humans who can turn into an animal at will (completely or partially) as far as I can tell. It seems some live primarily as humans, and some are primarily as animals. Are shifters a true species or more of a magical quirk some people inherit? Or is it something acquired later in life (via lycanthropy, a spell gone wrong, etc.?)
Geomancers
I've seen the word geomancy thrown around a few times. I've usually seen it in fantasy as having something to do with leylines and so forth. On SoTE is it correctto say it encompasses 'nature' magic? e.g. healing, conjuring vines, turning into an animal, etc.?
I apologize if these are addressed somewhere on the wiki. I couldn't find them via a search, but they seem to be common themes. Thanks!
