Aka mages, are magic users who have The Knack.
Mythics are able to wield magic. So far as we know, these is no real way this ties into the Umbral and the work of werewolves, except possibly through the art of Spiritalis.
The society of mages, like Garou, is hidden from mortal society and similarly self-policing. The official agency that enforces magical law is magipol, but mages can also gather into Guilds of like-minded or agenda'd individualy. Guilds are also largely self-policing - partly because it reduces external interference from Magipol and partly because it seems mages all have slightly different abilities and scales and the best ones to deal with erratic elements are ones with a similar skillset.
"Anything you can imagine can be rendered as an array" - Sung Wang-Li
The limits to what can be constructed as a magical array seem to be the time you have to charge it up, and the resources to construct it, an example is an array to make a building earthquake proof took about 2.5 years to charge (source: Sung Wang-Li).
There are 5 forms of magic that we know of in setting, remembered by practitioners by the mnemonic SPADE:
- Spiritalis
- Psychia
- Arcana (precisely drawn sigils)
- Demonica (making deals with demons)
- Elementalism
