Humanities is a sage field available to illusionists and mages, consisting of disciplines related to society and culture. The study provides critical and speculative knowledge about humanoid existence from a biological and holistic perspective.

The field includes the following sage studies:

  • Geography: provides knowledge of terrain, political boundaries, travel routes, the location of cities and cultural ethnic groups, as defined by land and sea.
  • Language: grants intimate knowledge of writing and communication, enabling the character to communicate with groups who do not use the common language, as well as knowledge of languages from the distant past.
  • Law & Policy: studies the system of theological laws, to permit tighter enforcement of the God's will among its believers.
  • Logic & Ethics: the study of general and fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, values, reason and mind, enabling the character to teach others and pass along the comprehension of magical structure.
  • Publishing: provides knowledge in the writing and dissemination of literature, music or images, most usefully in the creation of magical scrolls and tomes for use by those able to read magic.
