Awoken

The Awoken, commonly known as Mages, Magi, Warlocks, Wizards, Sorcerers, and a whole slew of other terms for magic users, are human beings who have through various means managed to have their senses opened to the flow of magical energy. This is achieved through a process known as the Awakening.

Powers and Abilities
Magical Perception: The Awoken are able to sense the flow of magical energy. This allows them to tap into it, enabling them to cast spells, and sense when spells are being cast.

Enhanced Senses: The senses of an Awoken are superior to those of ordinary humans. Their sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch are all much more refined than those of regular people.

Weaknesses
Iron: Pure iron has the ability to stop the flow of magic. If an Awoken is bound in pure iron, or has it inserted into their body in large enough amounts, they will be unable to use magic, and their magical senses will be either dulled or completely blocked off.
