Also, what do the various magic types mean, and can you have more than one? General Opinion - Kill them all, and purge their families, so that the genes can't be passed on. Only in Arcadia is this not the norm, due to the small population of mainly Half-elves (who have the highest chances of becoming a Stigma, with one in three hundred). On the Isles, they're trained, but put down if they go mad.

The Stigmas lose their grip on reality completely when they succumb. Almost nothing gets through to them. However, they usually burn out their own bodies from magic overuse, so they immolate themselves more often than not during their rampages.

The magic types vary from race to race and nation to nation. Usually, the more complex and powerful the spell, the more words needed to cast it. As the magic is dedicated to the powers-that-be in the world, using multiple types of magic is feasible, but discouraged. If your energy is incompatible with the type of magic being tried however (such as, a human using Elven-style magic), more often than not the caster spontaneously combusts.
