Knowledge
Knowledge of the Wellspring is limited to a select few. No one knows that all magic is connected, and that this magic has a limit before it runs out. While it does take a vast amount of usage to drain the Wellspring, it has run low numerous times.

It's especially noticeable during times of war when heavy magic users begin to feel fatigued. Most put this down to over exertion given what they have been doing, but even those who barely use magic begin to feel it after a while, this is the Wellspring running low, making it harder for users to dip into the pool.

The Apostles decided that the knowledge of all forms of magic was too dangerous for everyone to know as it would cause the Wellspring to drain too quickly too often. So they decided to teach their masteries as a religion, to deter others from learning other magics, effectively cutting the usage of magic by seven.

Effects of a Drained Wellspring
While it hasn't happened for over 600 years, there are effects caused by the Wellspring running out.
 * 1) Magic users become weakened. The stronger they are with magic, the worse the effect will be, to the point of rendering the Elite magic users unconscious.
 * 2) Vegetation and plant life wont grow properly, causing crops and plants to die en mass, harming the ecosystem and food for the denizens of Avendele.
 * 3) The atmosphere of Avendele is weaved with magic from the Wellspring in order to make it stronger. This means that when the Wellspring runs out, the atmosphere begins to thin, causing tides to fluctuate drastically, and weather to become wild and erratic.
 * 4) Children born in that time can have damaged souls. The final stages of pregnancy are when the soul is at its most vulnerable, and without magic flowing through Avendele, there is nothing to prevent the darkness from tainting the fragile mind of an unborn child. This doesn't just affect humans, but animals to, causing them to act out of character, It isn't apparent straight away, and 30% of children will remain unaffected, with the 70% being affected to different degrees. These children become to be known as Blackened Souls.
