Long Nails

Long Nails in BM signifies a Magic User-in some cases. most prominentally found in male magic users-easiest to find.

Basics
Long finger Nails were adapted back before the first Wizard Council was formed. It's common knowledge that magic flows off nail better then finger tips. Could possibly relate to the fact that the nails are harder, more solid substances then the regular skin on your fingers.

Most magic users will have long nails-something to look out for-even those who dont seem the type. Some are against it though, preferring to chop or bite their nails every so often, keeping them at a standard size so that they can "blend with the current society".

Those that do not crop their nails feel some sort of connection to the old ways, or just prefer not to chance a fireball in their face-without long nails, spells have more of a tendancy to backfire.
