Link to SB: My pleasure to serve
Let me get something clear when it comes to magic. If one draws mana from land, it's a tricky process. Casting a powerful spell requires time and concentration, certainly not the perfect thing during a pitched battle. The more mana one uses, the more obvious it becomes, which means one has to be careful when opting for subtlety, as many blue mages will often do. During battle, however, for example, a green mage will draw on the power of nature, thus he or she is particularly effective in battles in forests and stuff. A red mage, on the other hand, will often opt for using his or her own emotions, which can ensure more powerful magic, but a danger, as using fire when angry can burn the caster up. Therefore many rely on already charged sources
Vampires and Elves:
Spoiler
I was thinking this was going to be needed, to clear up any doubt. Since Pix is a vamp, I'll start from those.
Vampires: Vampires are hedonistic - they enjoy and pursue pleasure - and draining blood feels extremely pleasurable to them - they're usually rather seductive in their manner and apparel because of this, using any means to achieve their ends. They love toying with their pray, but the less sophisticated ones will settle for just any old person. Vampires feed mainly on blood, though there are those that feed on dreams. They have long life, and usually possess enhanced strength and speed. However, they're fatally weak to garlic, stakes, holy items, and can't tolerate sunlight. There are also very, very few vampires around, usually in the Isles.
Elves: usually taller than humans, they can live for thousands of years, and are also stronger than humans physically. They're adept nature mages. They love the arts and rarely spend their lives fighting, preferring a contemplative manner of life.

Also, the use of titanpads is encouraged for the SB, like so.
