Masteries

These are rare, high level abilities that characters obtain by influencing the world and the people within it in a way that justifies a power boost. This is not intermediate magic (poison, bone, magma, sand, etc), which can be taught in-game or learned with consistent play. This tier of power has higher quality expectations and is seen as a reward for exceptional actions. This might mean a well written in-game journal, or an approved application in the ability section of the forums.

Characters with a hidden spell are less likely to progress beyond that point unless they show exceptional proactive storytelling.

They're said to be long-lived. Druids incorporate a form of bloodletting to provide sustenance to the good-natured spirits (known as wisps) in the area, willing them to act as aids. Blood is by far the most personal, magically dense substance a person has on hand, and that's why it is a common choice; it also shows that the druid is willing to sacrifice in return for the act.
