Editing Monte Cook's World of Darkness (section)

==Mages==
Unlike the vampires or the werewolves, mages ''are'' human, 100% human. It's just that, ever since the Nightmare Wave washed over the Earth, they found they could work [[magic]]. Now, this has obviously endeared the Inconnu to some mages, who worship them for various reasons, and other mages are arrogant enough to believe they could exploit or control them. But the majority either want nothing to do with the struggle or actively oppose them, and thus mages are broken into two major groups; '''The Strangers''' (those who work with the Inconnu) and '''The Bound''' (those who fight the Inconnu). 

Whilst most mages are heavily shaped by real-world magical traditions they believed in before the Intrusion gave them power, and others [[weeb|style themselves after fiction]], in practice mages can be boiled down to five archetypes; Enchanter, Warlock, Necromancer, Theurgist and Shaman.
