The Bellweather Chronicles will have an aspect of magic. I have decided to use the reference, in everyday speech, as a “spark” or “sparks,” each with an affinity to varying elements. The relevance of a spark and how it manifests can also change, even among family members.
Magic was something that was always passed down through generations. Everyone knows this. Its relative strength did not have anything to do with the inherited spark as magic in a person was commonly referred to, or in some cases, sparks. However, this was rare. It was always there, and increasingly, it was becoming so latent in its appearance that families would lose sight of the spark they were known for. This was often the reason if a few generations did not exhibit any sign of their spark, the family elders would start turning their history into gossip and rumor.

Another scene, just under 1000 words, has been drafted with a more directed backstory reference for magic users in The Chronicles.
