A barrier would help.
Regarding blood magic: it's simply a very complex technique that requires extensive training and preparation, during which the mind undergoes significant and irreversible changes; something gets disrupted, and the mage loses the ability to use mana.

Alex, instead of trying to quickly expand the list of races that can use magic, wouldn't it be easier to remove the race restriction altogether?

No. The Chinese, Northerners, Knights, Imperials, and Lions cannot, and that's final.

The Chinese, the Northern people, the Knights, the Imperials, and the Lions – they simply can’t. That’s final.

So, now even the Nomads can?

No, I just forgot to mention it.

By the way, you mentioned here that the "Philactery" ability disappears after it activates. Does this mean that it has to be re-learned and that it costs experience points to do so? How complex is the process of creating a philactery, and does it cost the mage anything other than the item that becomes the new vessel for the soul? What limitations exist regarding new bodies?

How are things with blood magic in the Tower? Is it taught at the Academy? How widespread is it?

Does this mean it will have to be learned again, and will it cost OP?

No.

How complex is the process of creating a phylactery, and does it cost the mage anything other than the item that becomes the new vessel for the soul?

It is quite complex, energy-intensive, and time-consuming. If one dies more than once, PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVIATIONS may appear.

What limitations exist regarding new bodies?

A humanoid is needed, that's all.

What is the situation with blood magic in Todalen? Is it taught at the academy? How widespread is it?

It is taught, but it is not very widespread, because, no matter how you look at it, casting spells in this way is very physically unpleasant, so there are few people willing to learn it.

Here are a couple more questions: 1) Is the restriction on spell schools only applied at the beginning, or is the mage limited to them throughout their entire life? 2) Is the characteristic cap also only applied at the beginning of the game, or can it be exceeded during gameplay?

If you die more than once, PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVIATIONS may appear.

Will we become easily susceptible to succubi and unable to kill todalinks?

They teach it, but it's not very common; after all, casting spells is quite physically unpleasant, so there are few willing to teach it.

Okay, thank you.

1) Is the restriction on schools of magic only applied at the beginning, or is the mage limited to them throughout their life?
2) Is the character stat cap also only applied at the beginning of the game, or can it be exceeded during gameplay?

1. No
2. No

Will we easily succumb to the influence of succubi and be unable to kill todalinks?

You will easily succumb to the influence of vilasundies and be unable to kill paladins.

1. No
2. No

No, not just at the start?

It's easy to fall under the influence of the Vilasundies and you won't be able to kill paladins.

That's a shame. Then I'll have to do without the phylactery. Otherwise, it will be annoying when we come to cleanse the temple of the Vilasundian influence, and we get controlled there. :(

No, not just at the start?

Yes.

This cruel, cruel world...

Reginald de Fournié's estate, as always, was in a state of blissful tranquility, only the gossiping maids and bored guards disturbed its serenity. The topic of their prosaic conversations was not new – the great kingdom built by King Frederick and the blood of his loyal soldiers was rapidly weakening and descending into chaos. However, the elf didn't care much about it; he worked and lived here, but the fate of the country did not concern him at all. And why should it? The concept of friendship was far from him, like Hemne is from Chanzin; women can always be replaced, material goods are generally easy to find, and finally, if the situation becomes too bad and being in the company of representatives of lower races bothers him, nothing prevents him from returning to Todalen and living comfortably.
"You haven't been here for a while." Leon, the head of the guard, was strong and tall, distinguished by excellent combat skills, and his handsome appearance (by human standards), combined with a honeyed voice, ensured him great popularity among peasant girls - something like the most eligible bachelor in the village, to use plebeian language. Reginald's mansion was located in a rural area, so there was no hope of meeting city beauties.
"This time, I had to deal with stubborn troublemakers."
"Oh?" Leon undoubtedly disliked the elf. He didn't like his cold nature, his appearance, and not least the fact that out of all his subordinates, Reginald trusted him the most. "And how did you handle them?"
"I had to take out the trash." The ice in the elf's voice only angered the warrior, but the sorcerer didn't wait for his answer and calmly walked deeper into the house, without waiting for permission from the head of the guard.
He didn't have to look for the landowner in the confusing corridors of the huge mansion; Reginald de Fournié received him in the living room.
"Ah, Elhazel, my dear friend, come in, don't be shy," said the old man, inviting the elf to the fireplace. "You must be tired after all the work you've done." In reality, this wasn't true; before coming here, the sorcerer had slept well at home. However, there was no point in mentioning it. "It took you longer this time."
"There are more and more people dissatisfied with your rule. I had to weed out a few weeds." What does it mean to be the right hand of a large and influential landowner? A lot of work and headaches, that's what. While the landlord has fun and relaxes, his right hand keeps order on his lands. There were, however, some positive aspects – a wide range of privileges, influence, money.
"So that's how it is! Well, since you dealt with the problem, that's great. Good job, now eat some more of these soft Bedinge buns and drink some tea!"
"Perhaps I won't refuse." People were certainly flawed, but they made excellent baked goods. And the smell was pleasant, and the taste was just right.

And so passed the life of the elf outside Todalen, but everything comes to an end, and everyone awaits change. After a few weeks, the old landowner would die of a heart attack, and he wouldn't be able to establish such productive relationships with his successor. Deciding that it was time to move on, the elf took some savings from his temporary home and set off. On the same day he left this place, a wave of grief swept through the village - the best warrior in the de Fournié family hanged himself in his own room.

Never mind the ears. The art is otherwise suitable, but if necessary, I can certainly add them.

Hero, just in case, I'll say that it's inconvenient to parry with a hammer (although it will also be difficult for the enemy to block it), and it requires more strength, as does everything that is the best of what can be created.

Hmm, well, I might redistribute five points from agility to strength, and as for weapons, I hope there will be an option to craft them. I just thought that having swords, spears, hammers, and axes in the inventory for different situations would be too much.

Revan, it would be nice if he had ears, if it's not too much trouble.

Then you won't be able to hit...

Then you won't be hitting because...

He has a tank, not a Dimension Door. Well, and he will hit mages and other knights. And if the shield bash from the block branch is an auto-hit, then he'll hit stunned agility units too. Well, that's exactly how it looks to me from my couch.
