From the introduction: In this game players take the role of [Order of Magi] agents. They’re caught between two worlds trying to protect both. They try to contain and control magic in The Dim World of the mundanes, while keeping connections with their old lives in The Bright World. However, the more they fight these battles, the more their soul and essence may become changed and corrupted. Novice agents have wondrous gifts but gamble those talents for their soul.
