Asgard prides itself in its many formidable practitioners of primordial magic. Those children that display an affinity with these powers are often send to one of the various magic Universities, where they are thought to extend and control their abilities for the greater good of the Asgardian Realm. Many of them become scholars or battle mages. Many Asgardians see Magic as a natural part of nature and frown upon the superstition in which most Utgardians hold these powers. Indeed, Asgardian society, especially within the larger cities, is highly dependent upon the use of magic- Without it, the fragile spires would topple, city walls would crack and gardens would lose their splendor.
