[ Ah. So they were up to that. It wasn't really a hard question, but it was something that would come with a long answer, probably. ]
I guess I wasn't really clear on what a magi is, either. So the whole thing would be a mystery. Ah...
[ That was him admitting that he'd never been thorough in explaining such things about what he was. Still a human, yes. A magician, mage, or whatever word suited someone that used magic- well that part was obvious and clear. So he should start from the beginning?]
In my world, everything comes from the same source energy- when people die, as long as they haven't Fallen, which is meant to be rare, their energy and soul return to that source to join the world again. It's everything around, in everyone... Save for three souls, who reincarnate instead. Those three souls have a special connection with the world, where it provides as much energy as that person needs for magic, and in turn, that person is connected enough that they can sense great disturbances that happen, even on the opposite side of the planet. It's because of that, that magi are called the voices and wills of the world. It's also because of that that they become the strongest magicians.
It's because of that, that there's an instinct to find people that could guide the world into a new, great era. Be it a single kingdom, or the world.
Every age, if they lost their life, the magi is reborn. They're drawn to seek out people with a quality that could change a great amount of people, with a strength to overcome great trials. Kings, basically. Except it doesn't matter what the person is, or where they're from, as long as they're not a magician. They just need those qualities, and we'd pull a dangerous trial into the world for them to conquer. If they're successful, they come out with a contract and bond with a powerful being and enough riches to start a kingdom, if that's how they decide to make their mark on the world. So a magi, if still accepted by that Candidate, is meant to guide and support them to continue that goal.
[ So because they were so connected to the world, they were the kingmakers intended to guide humanity. Basically. He just gave Hannibal a more thorough explanation and context, pointedly adding the bit on a magi's instincts, because he would be clear and up front. ]
