Magical Snapshots: Magic Advisory From the Past

It's hard to imagine a world without magic with all its contributions to our society and lives, there was a time in the past where we were not blessed by this natural phenomena. Since the discovery of usable magic during the 1st Real Century (R.C.) or 8th Century B.C. for those using the old calendar, magical advising became as critical if not more critical than financial advisory. While magicians had caused great progress and inventions, they had a very crucial role in shaping their kingdom and history as advisors. Leaders from old times, to modern have relied on the most skilled, versatile and understanding sages.

In the past, magic was strictly hidden from the public eye. With so little people being able to produce parvucules; governments had tried turning them to aces up their sleeves, making the public completely unaware of these magic carrying particles. However, as time passed magic had started to sprout beyond the control of any one ruler or nation, wars became more violent, other beings infected by parvucules rose from the ground up separating themselves from humankind. It was clear that rulers needed those well versed in magic to aide in their decision making.

It just seems so surprising to us with how interwoven magic is in our society and social lives that just a few centuries ago, magic was only available to 1% of the population, and had a decline, or that elves, dwarves, ogres, and other co-existing species once were such rarities that they were sold as pets.

This is not a comprehensive history of every single moment in history where a magical advisor was needed, but rather a simple novel showing the important steps magic needed to take in shaping the modern world. It will cover great minds, and a few heroes alike, showing how magicians became political figures.
