Race Name: Corvinus Sages, also known as the Raven Sages.
Physical Appearance: Corvinus Sages usually appear human but with a few defining traits that mark them out to being different. The first is one that all Corvinus Sages exhibit and that is a crown of black feathers around the top of the head, like a laurel, that bend back and usually rest on top of the hair. The longer these feathers are, the older the Sages tend to be. The second thing that most show but these can be plucked, are feathers that run the length of the Sage's forearms but these are generally able to be plucked to leave their arms smooth, these feathers grow back very quickly though. Only some Corvinus Sages decide to retain their wings in their human form though but there is always at least a mark, like a tattoo, defining the location of the wings. Lastly, although this can be shaved off, are the very soft, downy feathers that cover the Sage's genitals, not chests however in both males and females.
Abilities, Traits: The Raven Sages are usually most well known for their powerful control over shadows. They are able to manipulate shadows and make them truly corporeal in order to attack but they are generally flimsy so defense is out of the question when using shadows. Some of the more powerful Shadow users are able to "Shadow-step" an ability that involves turning into shadow and moving extremely quickly to a new location, akin to teleportation but with more shadows.
The second type of magic that the Ravens are very powerful with is illusion magic. They are usually able to trick most other beings into complete illusion, changing their perception of everything around them. Usually the changes are subtle things that will aid the Sage in escape or attack as the more obvious the change, the more the mind rallies against it and tries to break through the illusion. They are even able to disguise themselves and their magical signatures by changing the perception's of everyone around them. However, when a person has a very weak mind or you have put them in a position that whatever you do can seem real then it becomes very bad as the Corvinus is able to inflict intense pain or terror upon their target.
Usually, Corvinus Sages are weak in either Shadows or Illusions and very strong in the other. This depends on their own moral balance, the more cruel and evil they are, the stronger their shadows and the happier and more helpful they are the better their illusion magics.
