@Misadventure I'm not sure yet how it will integrate with the current game world, because it's largely player driven, and we'll have to see how PCs go about overcoming the current barriers to open, practiceable magic. the current plan is, when magic becomes a THING again, that will unlock a separate, time-gated xp flow, so you won't have anyone who saved up xp suddenly a level 6 bloodmage after two days of study. But, all PCs in Arx will have the innate ability to learn some sort of magic, be it traditional or inwardly-focused enhancements (think combat arts/styles). The PCs are /all/ part of the special few, if they choose to be. So we will definitely have criminals and there ARE certain magical styles and disciplines focused on people being Sol Badguy, for sure.

Dominion isn't something I have an exhaustive grasp on. To be honest, it's not my field of interest. But it will essentially be the way the leaders of Houses and Orgs (with holdings) manage those holdings. Taxes, production, espionage, trade, war, etc. There are skills that will be purchaseable for Dominion, specifically. Apos is probably way better for elaborating on that. There are some systems I feel strongly about! Dominion isn't one of them.
