There is a war going on. The world is a dusty, tattered old thing. But there is life, and there is war. It started about 20 years ago, in the year 2087.
Science was, well, bounding forward. Every day, so-and-so in so-and-such R&D discovered a cure for such-and-such. It was beautiful. The world was a mass of pristine skyscrapers, wonderful plains and... pure air. Well, outside the badlands. But inside? Well, life was hard. Very few people existed there. Each one was eking out a living to travel to the glorious forests beyond.Then someone found it.
ETO-46. The Salvation.
Whatever you call it, it was there. And it brought... magic.
What is this? This is a game. It's about a war between three major factions and some outliers. Basically, a strange object (from outer space) crashed into the Earth in the badlands just outside Serehfa. It gave humanity magic and a devastating war ensued.
Death and destruction rained down, and, well, now it's almost all badlands. Almost. Very few people are left and the remainder are locked in war. The three biggest players are the Techs, those who believe science can save humanity, the Magi, extremist magicians and Unity, a small and weak organisation that just wants to stop the fighting.
There are also outliers. The character sheet is like this.

Anything with the dark grey border is a building. Light grey fill is a Tech building, maroon fill is for Magi, rose is Unity, orange is neutral, purple is the weird UFO and the other stuff is terrain. Blue-grey is ice, cyan is water, light green is grass, dark yellow is wasteland and dark green is forest.
Too complicated? Ask and I shall explain.

Low rank? Well, sure. I mean, as a Magus ranks are less organised and so... yeah, you're a Trainee.

Position: Academy of Magical Arts
Rank: Trainee

You're in the Academy. You're in the Basic Magic section. There's a guy giving you a seminar on how to use your magic. "First, you must focus. Focus on the Otherworld. There, that's you. Good, now try to move yourself. Here, watch..." The lesson goes on for a while, until you produce a bolt of electricity.
After calmly deflecting it, your instructor restores your (somewhat depleted) focus with a spell of some kind. Then you're sent out of the room. You go into a hallway, with a few arrows directing you to the different sections, which are Psionics, Healing, Earth, Wind, Fire and Water Manipulation. There is another sign pointing to "Tier 2 basic magic". And one pointing to the bathrooms, and one for the exit.
(If you want to go straight to the action, which isn't a great idea, just go out and head to the Military Center)

Another five go down before your rock (cover) is blown to gravel. Remember that you can request support or something, but if an SC makes the request it's more likely to be granted. So, yeah. You also have helmetcam, so if you want to send footage to show HQ what you're fighting...

I go to the Psionic manipulation arrow. But couldn't you just say there are some arrows leading to Psionics, Healing, Earth, Wind, Fire and Water Manipulation training rooms?
Anyway, Psionic is kind of Arcane Magic, right?

Sorry. There is only one dial-up stick (our wifi is out) in the house, so I often don't have the time to do this.

(Just going to assume that you do too)
A message appears on your readout saying "Gunship support inbound", before you notice the tank (which, according to your helmet's IFF, contains Stitch and a couple of others) killing a Magus under its giant treads.

You get those toys and a backpack, before heading off to a cafe. David (you picked up his name in a conversation) seems to have something in mind and before long, your suspicions are confirmed. You meet up with a gang of vaguely familiar pirates, who announce their plans to take the Forest Base.
The plan is laid out. Group A will infiltrate the base, capture its lower-floor garrison and then secure the lifts, while group B will take a sort of blimp (yes, blimp), parachute down and call the elevators from the saferoom, where the security system will be disabled.
This should also take out much of the advanced weaponry available, paving the way for a full-on attack by groups C, who will go through the loading bay, and D, who will parachute into the hangars from the blimps.

The question is who you want to be with.

i get out and start firing my micro railhun at the one throwing fireballs.

Doesn't really work. He has a shield. Then the tank's gunner (apparently splinted and drugged) clambers into the turret seat. The driver is dead, but you can drive it too. The medic is apparently busy attending to the injuries of the guy in the turret. Don't forget, these cannons (on the tank; there are two) are about 15 centimetres wide and loaded.
They also shoot explosive shells.

*sigh* I wanted to know what spells you were trying to learn. As is, you have learnt to conjure a basic illusion. This will exist only in targets' minds, so it won't work on drones and other such electronic devices. Right now, it will only have any noticeable effect on those without HUDs (most Techs have readouts on their helmets).
