Line 6:
Can be good, bad, or indifferent. Sometimes overlaps with [[Witch Species]]; if everyone can cast spells, the Magocracy is usually depicted as good or indifferent. If the wizards rule over a population of [[Muggles]], on the other hand, they are more likely to be evil. A Magocracy can also overlap with a [[Magical Society]], although it's quite possible to have a Magocracy which is more loosely organised than that.
 
If [[Magic aA Is Magic A|laws of magic]] require intense study and not just a talent, natural limitation may be sharing time between magic improvement and actual ''ruling''. Then immortal wizards break this limit, having centuries to both accumulate knowledge and entrench themselves in power little bit by bit.
 
Related to [[Authority Equals Asskicking]] (more likely ass-''fireballing''). If there's not just a handful of magic-users but the whole society is influenced, it likely to develop lots of [[Magitek]]. If the ruler maintains their power through magic but this is ''not'' part of the official political system, see [[Sorcerous Overlord]]. For mages who are part of the government but hold only subordinate or advisory positions, see [[Court Mage]].
