Dark LegacyA starsign of inborn magic: the sign of the great spellcasters.
Five times in each year Alora passes through the threads of rampant energy that lie about the sun, and the astrologers hold that the Pentagram is the sign of those five crossings. A child born under it comes into the world with the threads still clinging, like one who has walked through cobwebs.
Such a one does not learn magic so much as find that it was there. The prism wakes in the hand, and spells that are too hard for others of the same years come to this one easily. Most of the spellcasters whose names are still spoken were born under the sign, and the mages' halls ask a newcomer's birthday before they ask his name. It gives nothing else. Its children are as easily killed as anyone, and more often surprised by it.
