Ajami were alien wizards in Zakhara.[1][note 1]
Requirements
Ajamis had no special requirements.[1]
Role
Zakharans treated all outsiders with suspicion, but they were especially wary of those who wielded more power.[1]
Possessions
Ajamis typically had foreign equipment. Replacing such outland equipment while in Zakhara usually cost at least five times the item's value.[1]
Benefits
Ajamis were able to learn new universal Zakharan spells.[1]
Hindrances
New Zakharan magic was impossible for ajamis to learn without taking drastic measures. Even "regular" spells such as fireball were beyond their reach because the Zakharan fireball was based on the elemental "flame" magic unique to the Land of Fate. Only alien elementalists could learn spells from the equivalent Zakharan element.
Ajamis desperate to learn Zakharan magic could abandon their outsider practices and begin study of Zakharan magic but at the cost of forever losing access to all previous spells they learned.[1]
