Magic


Magic has different sources, and each source has its own use. There are two main types of magic: Elemental magic, and Guided Magic. Elemental Magic is broken into the various elements that can be used – Earth, Water, Fire, Air – And Guided Magic is broken into two – Black or White.

Elemental magic is exactly what it sounds like – the manipulation of the elements to achieve a certain desired affect. Elemental manipulation can be used by many different types of people – most often used by those aware of the supernatural nature of the world, it can also be used by those unaware of anything beyond the basic veil of humanity. While most elemental magic users are taught, it is possible for a person with innate ability to pick it up, though their use is often either limited to a certain element of strength, or rudimentary at best. It’s thought that true mastery over the elements requires not just ability, but skill as well.

Beyond Elemental magic is Guided Magic – that magic that is used by those able to tap into either Heaven (White Magic) or Hell (Black Magic). Those who are able to tap into these sources of Good or Evil are typical those with the closest ties – Angels, Demons, Vampire, Unicorns, etc, though there are occurrences of others being able to tap into these sources as well. It is important to note that intent makes a difference - While white magic is “good” Magic, it can also harm, if twisted, as can Black be used for non-evil purposes if it’s the user’s intent. However, twisting the natural alignment of these magics can cause severe backlash for the user, resulting in anything from physical pain to spiritual trauma.

It should also be noted that to the world in general – Magic is a myth, as mythical as the creatures they choose to ignore all knowledge of. As part of the veil kept over humanity’s perception, magic and it’s use is hidden from the world. To do otherwise can create a Reality Backlash. Users of magic must be careful to do them only when alone, or if they need to be done in front of non-believers, it must be explainable in some mundane way. A Reality Backlash can also result in various repercussions, ranging from the mental to the physical.

Guidedmagic

Black Magic:

Often times anything that is used to harm is considered black-magic, be it fire or water magic that is used to attack an individual. However, true black magic is considered something that only demons and the devious at heart attempt.

      Some spells:
      -Soul Trapping (the process of catching souls that are later used for more difficult, harder spells.)
      -Curses and Hexes
      -Death marks (marks that will kill an individual if after unattended to for a certain amount of time).

White Magic:

White Magic is considered the blessings of Angels and other holy creatures. Like Black Magic, it can be considered anything that is used for healing, or "good" purposes.

      Some Spells:
      -Healing (The more affective the longer someone has studied the magic).
      -Casting Light, or creating light.
      -Protection circles and amulets.
