	Flesh-eating, house burning, mind controlling mages gave the people of Greb no reason to appreciate the potential benefits of wizardry. Already tough and hardened by their lives on the edge of civilization, they were eventually reasonably successful at wiping out the casting members of their population, although spells like [[time skip]] mean that such people even from centuries long gone occasionally pop up here and there. Although they're not entirely happy with it, the people of Greb do use plenty of magic items in their battles with magekind.

	Magisters: Mages who are successful enough to obtain full-time gem privileges become Magisters, and gain the right to run for public office. Since success of this nature cannot be trivially inherited, Magisters tend to be very ambitious ~~peope~~. For every clever Mage who achieves Magistrate status through magical prowess or innovation, there's one who achieved that status through cunning or political maneuvering, either by supporting a less socially savvy inventor or by stealing an invention.

	Military: The powak make good use of [[gate]] to have the most mobile military in the world. Each powak city contains a military camp with a well-traveled [[gate]]-caster on call. The limited size of [[gate]] means that they cannot deploy particularly large vehicles or creatures, so their military is composed of elite soldiers, mages (who are subject to a limited form of draft), and plenty of conscripted ~~footsoldiers~~. When siege weapons are required, they are typically built near the battlefield.		Military: The powak make good use of [[gate]] to have the most mobile military in the world.
