About this ancestry

Humans were created by the original six deities together and influenced by nearly all of the rest in some way. The first few generations of humans were noticeably touched by certain deities and their domains, but this quickly changed in later generations. These divine influences mixed and evened each other out, resulting in nearly all humans being so completely balanced magically that no one thing could present itself above the others. Now, when a human is exposed to consistent magical energies for long enough, especially in the early developmental stages of their life, they can become resistant to that type of magic rather than becoming somehow affected by it like many other species. It takes extreme and often intentionally created circumstances for a human to gain innate use of magic.

The history of divine creation energy in humans from nearly every existing deity has also made them especially susceptible to mutation and physical transformations. This is shown in subtle ways in more than half of all humans, who have adapted to their environment in unique ways over thousands of years. Specialized senses, modified or additional organs, and even extra fingers or entire limbs are just some of the possible adaptions. This willingness of human bodies to change also applies to magic; a transformation spell cast on a human can exceed its normal limitations and have greater effects than the caster intended.

The most extreme examples of human adaptions are elves and orcs, who have human origins but have become entirely new species through millennia of evolution and magical transformations.
