ARCANISTS
There are two major types.
Ordinant Arcanists: Have affinity for at least one of the five major elements.
Variant Arcanists: They have an affinity for at least one sub-element.
_______________________________________
They are also divided into more categories for how they use their magic.
Battlemages: Use weapons. They wield their magic using weapons. Mostly Close-range combatants.
Mages: Attack purely based on magic and Mana. Mostly Long-rangers. Have a huge mana pool than Battlemages.
Beastmasters: They may have an affinity for elements, but they fight using their familiars.
Sage Arcanists: Non-combatants. Mostly include healers and diviners. They are so rare.
Craftmages: Artifact designers, Arcanist engineers.
___________________________________
STIGMA: Stigmas are something special. Only the most skilled Arcanists can create their own stigma by merging two or more elements into a new, powerful form. To create a Stigma, the Arcanist must be a dual-affinity Arcanist or more than that.

BEASTS
Mana Beasts: ordinary creatures born with mana flowing through them. Hunting and absorbing their cores can help with mana cultivation. Or they can be used as familiars. And can be used for medicines etc.
Soul Beasts: These are the lingering spirits of once-mighty Mana Beasts who died but refused to disappear. Their souls wander, absorbing the world's mana, transforming into something new. Unlike Mana Beasts, they have no physical body.

SOUL PHANTOMS: People with a soul beast inside them are called this. Rare

BEASTFOLKS
They are half-human, half-beast people. Mostly born in their human form. There are lots of beastfolk tribes and clans in the world. They have no specific kingdom, and each kingdom will recognize the beastfolk clans inside their territory as citizens.
*Lycans of Hazzard are also beastfolk, but they were known as a major race. And they can't transform into a fully Lycan form.
