Magic (Lost)

The act of using rituals, symbols, spells and runes in order to use supernatural forces. It's one the key part in the Lost series and is split in three different categories. The first category being white magic, the second being grey magic and the third being black magic. 
== White Magic ==
White Magic is considered to be the "pure" kind of magic. It can be used to help other people, strengthening physical objects, feel complete empathy and can also be used in self defense if the user is threatened. It's considered to be the basic step of mastering magic and is also the least dangerous one. 
== Grey Magic ==
Grey Magic is the magic that is according to their users "the most complex" form of magic as it has to be studied for years and is the one kind of magic that is the most interesting to learn about. Due to its grey nature and state it can be used for many more things than White Magic. For example, can Grey Magic be used to seriously harm others, to control and manipulate others, read memories, creating illusions and controlling elements like fire. 
It can however also be used to heal others who have been affected by Black Magic, can make one better understand humans and can create a so called "attraction-link", a link which connects two people and allows them to understand how the other feels. 
== Black Magic ==
Considered to be the most dangerous form of magic, it is only to be used by experts in Grey and White Magic as it can create horrible disasters and misfortune otherwise. It is by some described as the most "depraved" and "evil" kind of magic, as it teaches the user how to; create zombies, create human puppets, summoning depraved ghosts, corrupt people, drive people insane, use magic to torture and create human slaves. 
Although it is said to have some part that aren't as bad, it is the only Magic System that has three different layers. 
First Layer
While very dangerous, the first layer doesn't really corrupt the soul of the user itself. It however can be used to murder others or seriously harm those around the user. 
Second Layer
Used to control so called "Shadows" which are corrupted souls that can be controlled by the user if he sacrifices a young human being and then corrupts their souls by filling it with their own wicked thoughts and fantasies. 
Third Layer
The most disgusting and depraved layer of all of magic. It is used to create zombies and human puppets. It completely corrupts and damages the users soul beyond repair leaving him to be unable to go to the afterlife and being forced to wander all eternity in a grey wasteland.
