Azural Magic

As opposed to traditional magic (consisting of existing, learnable spells), Azural Magic is free-form and chaotic. Only people born with the capacity for Azural Magic can use it, but it can be used to create almost any magical effect, so long as the user is strong enough to withstand the amount of raw magicka needed. However, it has dangerous, unpredictable side-effects that cannot really be avoided except by the most powerful casters (many of which are Azural Masters). Azural Magic has three known types.
== Articular Azural Magic ==
This is magic which is channeled through the spoken word. Users able to harness articular magic can speak things into being, but they must be careful lest their words be twisted against them. The longer a phrase or sentence, the harder it is to cast. This makes it all the more impressive when powerful users are able to speak long spells without faltering.
Known users include Amros, Lee Dankworth, and Castiel. 
== Cogitative Azural Magic ==
This is the most powerful version of Azural Magic, and the rarest. Users able to harness cogitative magic can turn their own thoughts into magic; however, it is also the most dangerous type of magic, as thoughts run wild and often off-track. Cogitative Azural Magic users are feared as they're much harder to detect or stop - you can tie someone's hands and gag their mouth, but it's trickier to stop them from thinking.
Known users include Bran, the Arch-Mage, and Olgart.
== Gestural Azural Magic ==
The most common form of Azural Magic, gestural magic allows its users to make gestures and movements with their physical forms to cast spells. While it's relatively easy to use at its base, it can be much harder to cast complicated and abstract spells due to the nature of the casting. For example, miming punching someone is an easy way to hurt them, but trying to use gestures to indicate that you want to trace the magical signature of a far-away monster is a bit trickier.
Known users include Chi Pin, Lee Dankworth, and the Arch-Mage.
