Busheh and Jaynin may be interested in this topic ;)

Angillis
 The Angillis are protectors, or at least, that's what they've been known as for ages. You could call them magicians, but their powers are given to them and may be taken at any time. The giver of these powers is known as the Master of the Angillis; one of the many names for the God-like being in the world.
 Normally, an Angillis is given to a town who has need of one, thus, there are many Angillis in the world, but only one per village/town/city. In fact, with war, there are few towns who do not give house to an Angillis. When an Angillis is the protector of a town, their duty is to assist in defending that town from raids and occasionally assist in offensive attacks.
 There is currently nothing limiting the powers of an Angillis beyond what their own mind can conjure and the will of the Master. Most Angillis can wield their power with mere words, though some prefer do it with motions or thoughts. They do not speak in a special language, calling upon their power is more like giving a prayer.
 Not all Angillis are good. They started out that way, but as years have gone by, the quarrels of the people have affected them. These days, an Angillis will focus on gaining power; both more of their own and over other people. Instead of emitting hope, people have begun to fear the Angillis and their powers.


Development needed :D

So, mentally they're only limited by imagination? What about physically? Are there any side effects to working magic?

Does their power come from God then?

Working the power requires some energy, but not a large amount. Yes, their power does come from God. I'm still determining how the selfish Angillis will retain their power though... *ponders*

More like Solomon maintaining his wisdom than Samson maintaining his strength I suppose.

Mmmm, but this almost seems different... the power is something, constantly given, where as wisdom is only given once... Well, not exactly, but kinda...

*ponders some more*

The only I can think of is that as they turn from good, the evil being of the world takes over giving then power. Thus, they still have their power, but they're not as powerful as "good" Angillis.

what if their power was a one time gift from God? And it replenishes itself? But because they've turned mabye there is a curse? It doesn't work as well as it used to?
