| //All gnomes carry a quiet, persistent resonance of the arcane, a legacy most believe was sealed into them during the Collapse of El-Swir, though some insist it predates that event entirely. Arcana comes to gnomes not as something studied first, but as something used — handled with the same casual confidence they apply to tools, games, or conversation. Many pursue formal training at arcane universities such as those of the Aeonis Compact, but education merely refines what is already there. Spells are cast with ease, mana flows naturally, and arcane effects are treated as practical solutions rather than solemn rituals. The faint glow in a gnome’s eyes is not a warning or a threat; it is simply proof that magic, for them, is ever-present — an echo of a broken world, carried lightly and wielded without hesitation.//\\ | //All gnomes carry a quiet, persistent resonance of the arcane, a legacy most believe was sealed into them during the Collapse of El-Swir, though some insist it predates that event entirely.
