Mancers

Mancers are the descendants of the original Spirare. The first Mancer was born from a Spirare/Human coupling, however, there are still bloodlines surviving in modern day that originated from Spirare mating with humanoid creatures native to the Other Side (e.g. Witches, Elves, Shifters, Vampires, etc.). Though the magickal blood has been diluted over the centuries, some of these families are not only aware of their heritage they celebrate it.

When the Mancers first came into being, the angels felt threatened by the new power and stage a mass genocide of the Spirare's children. During the attacks, however, many of the Spirare used their skills to protect their families from the angels, triggering the Spirare Rebellion.

The Rebellion lasted for almost a century before the Keeper of Magickal Souls, Israfel, was summoned to the physical plane from the Underworld to end it. As punishment for their cruelty against their children, Israfel hid the souls of her warriors which were needed to create new Spirare declaring that only those she deems worthy shall be given the chance to give them life on the physical plane. She also tied the power of the Mancers to the angels, creating a symbiotic link between the two in order to prevent another war.

In order to prevent their own demise and prevent an uprising against them, the angels were forced to create safe havens for the Mancers in the form of communes all over the Mundane World as well as institutions of learning where the Mancers could learn the Angelic Lore that was approved by the Council and how to control their powers.

In modern day, the Mancers are referred to as Troupes depending on which element they have the strongest bond with:
 * Terramancers, Earth
 * Aeromancer, Air
 * Aquamancers, Water
 * Pyromancers, Fire
 * Spirare, Spirit
