Of the main group; Desden, Sparky, and Amos are trained magic users, and Dimamire has a little natural magic ability, while Grenda, D'Amico, and Estella do not.
Because of this Desden and Sparky spent time away to train at colleges, while Amos was trained by his father.

Text - βWe brought. . . some provisions,β said Sparky. Opening his bag. He shifted the contents and pulled out a bundle wrapped in cheesecloth. βI will. . . make toast.β βI can make eggs,β added Desden. He dug around in his bag, pulling out a random assortment of dishes and silverware, followed by a plain wand. βAlright, how do you all like your eggs?β βUgh, no thanks. I don't want to play Demonlands roulette with my breakfast. I'll just have toast, please,β commented Dimamire turning to Sparky. Sparky nodded, retrieving a knife from his bag to slice the bread with. Desden shrugged. The others looked at each other uncertainly. Grenda tapped her fingers a moment, then asked, βDo you think you could make a crab omelet?β βI can give it a try,β agreed Desden. He picked up a plate and pointed the wand at it. There was a flash of white light from the tip of the wand, and a pile of egg stuffed with cheese and meat plopped down onto the plate. He picked up a fork and set it on the plate handing it to her. She allowed herself to smile, just for a moment as she took it. βOkay, who's next?β asked Desden. Grenda stepped back and took a bite. It was perfect, tender fluffy eggs, layered with melted cheese bursting with a sharp sour flavor, sweet bits of caramelized onion, and delicate slightly salty crab meat. Estella moved closer cautiously, βOkay, so what's the catch?β Except from: The Fall of Ebonwald (White Cliff, book 1) Image - Omelet stuffed with crab, cheese, and spinach, and drizzled with salsa, on a blue and white plate with floral trim.
This tasty adventure takes readers from the food stalls of the Summer Starlight Festival in White Cliff to the farms of Ebonwald and everywhere in between.

Magic titles are mostly preference, but witches generally focus on folk magic, wizards are generally more educated, and clergy with magic usually retain their work titles. These can be overlapped with sorcerer which usually suggests someone with higher magical potential due to heritage.
#WhiteCliff
They need magical potential; usually genetic (but can also be granted by a higher entity such as a god or devil). Most of the time this comes with the ability to do a little rudimentary magic at will based on elemental alignment, but complex spells and rituals training is necessary.

Text - The Fall of Ebonwald Image - Thee friends (Amos Wandson, Dimamire Nightshade, and Sir D'Amico) posed to fight; A robed sorcerer with magic glowing around his gauntlet, a young vampire lord wielding a dagger, and a knight in half armor wielding a sword. Text - A mad vampire lord, a kidnapped sorcerer, an ancient feud, and a group of friends. . .
Four rough sketches of possible cover designs. Upper Left - The group of friends flees down a hall from a winged vampire. Upper Right - Two combatants clash, one wields an axe and the other a sword. Other figures fight in the background. Lower Left - Sir D'Amico attacks a giant centipede while a horse rears up in the background. Lower Right - General Nightshade, on horseback, leads mounted forces, sword pointed towards the heavens.
Image, upper left - Trombolt Nightshade, vampire noble with long hair, in a trench coat and holding a drink. Text - Desden saw his uncle lift a hand as he said, βWait! Do you hear that?β He saw his uncle move the hand to his ear, then turn directly to the bookcase his eye was perched on, and swiftly grab for it, shrouding him in darkness. The mental connection to Dimamire failed as wave of panic swept through him. He opened his left eye, backing away from the door as it was thrown open. The subtle expression of anger and disappointment on his uncle's face was horrifying. But the man spoke calmly, as he usually did. He unfolded his fingers, revealing the eye in his hand, βHello Desden.β βHello Uncle Trombolt,β replied Desden, slowly reaching for the eye, βI see you found my eye. I've been looking for that, sometime it just crawls off.β βIt just crawls off?β asked his uncle skeptically as he wrapped his fingers around the eye once more before Desden could retrieve it. Calmly he asked, βWhere's your cousin?β βUh, can't say that I know. Maybe the reading room?β replied Desden staring at his uncle's closed hand desperately. His uncle gave the slightest smirk, βCome now Desden, I know you hate being alone. You know where he is, don't you?β βI'm not alone. I've got Buddy,β argued Desden, point up at the little green and pink lovebird nestled down in his hair. They both knew Buddy was imp in disguise, acting as his familiar. If you were to compare Buddy to an actual lovebird, there'd definitely be a few discrepancies. - The Fall of Ebonwald (White Cliff - book 1) Image, lower right - A pinkish-red and white eye, on veiny spider-like legs.
When enemy scouts advance on town during the Summer Starlight Festival, will a young nobleman and friends be able to rescue one of their own, and escape from the power hungry vampire lord?

Desden loves books; the stories, the history and knowledge, the hint of a soul, the ability to know someone's inner thoughts and not be judged for how you react to them.
#BluePitHype #fantasy #WIP #WhiteCliff
Desden hates being alone and feeling left behind. His mother Valeria made Buddy primarily so that young Desden wouldn't have to be alone.

Usually only in the noble/royal households. Certain jobs pay better than others and certain houses pay better than others as well. Suspiciously high pay may be a sign that taking the job will put you in dangers unrelated to your profession.

The main character is half succubus so. . . But you all know about those.
Okay, so this oneβs gonna be a little odd; thereβs a sort of extra dimensional parasite feeding on the mortal plane through magical bodega-like extensions called El Marts.

The Summer Starlight festival was supposed to end with a dazzling magical display by sorcerer Amos Wandson, not his kidnapping!
