Content Warnings

Graphic: Ableism, Genocide, Violence, Xenophobia, Blood, Murder, and War

Moderate: Racism, Slavery, and Torture

The magic users are subjugated through a pact that limits their abilities due to the transgressions of the magic users before them. They are treated horribly for having magic abilities and it is a big part of the plot
