A freecaster, sorcerer, wizard, mage or a person known under one of many other possible terms is someone who practices magic that derives from supernatural or occult sources. Before Footfall these terms (sorcerer, wizard, mage) belonged to the realm of fiction works of fantasy, such as fantasy literature and role-playing games; they drew on a history of such people in mythology, legends, and folklore. However, since Footfall, freecasters are defined as people who practice magic derived from supernatural or occult sources. Currently only people of Thrycion origin are capable of practicing magic. Thrycion freecasters are capable of using magic on both Thrycion and Earth. No one born on Earth has been able to cast any of the spells or use scrolls that Thrycion freecasters have created. There is a great deal of attention being paid by corporations, governments and organizations as to whether Thrycion/Earth multi-origin children will be able to perform magic on Thrycion, Earth or both.
The most notable freecaster to date is Bryong; the first freecaster to routinely, publically display magical abilities on Earth. Bryong’s resurrection of 100 New Orleans / Hurricane Katrina victims, funded by Winifred Proach and televised over a course of four months on her daytime show is considered to be the event that introduced freecasters to a global audience.
