Magic

Magic is a topic within our universe that is often discussed at length as being the stuff of legends and illusions. Numerous Humans make a living by entertaining audiences of children with their slight-of-hand and illusionary skill that they call magic, but so far, it is the opinion of the Office of Naval Intelligence that magic does not exist in the true sense.  
==Auric Abilities (Mana) ==
However, what is a substitute for magic is the science of the Daeus, known to them as Auric Abilities. The Daeus are able to utilize their naturally powerful electromagnetic (EM) field and conjure intense abilities from the energy created by it. The use of the EM field is known to the Daeus as Mana and thus they consider their "magic" by the name Mana.  
 However, overuse of the Mana can result in rapid aging, fatigue, dehydration, spontaneous combustion, and death. While these cautions are of no concern to a Daeus, they are of concern to the mortal races that use these abilities. Often taught to them by a Daeus, this type of magic is consistent with the stories told to most children and church-goers. While ONI does not consider this "magic," the Office does consider this a branch of science. It can be measured, studied, codified, and catalogued. 
According to a powerful member of the Daeus, there are seven main branches of Auric Abilites: offensive, defensive, transmutative, restorative, conjurative, psionic, and corruptive.
===Offensive Mana===
Creation of solid aura used in attacks. 
=== Defensive Mana ===
Creation of solid aura used in defense. 
=== Transmutative Mana ===
The ability to transform objects by using the energy of your mana. 
=== Restorative Mana ===
The ability to manipulate an aura to assist in cellular growth (and alternately, deterioration).
=== Conjurative Mana ===
The ability to break the barriers of time and space and calling forth the spirits of the dead.
=== Psionic Mana ===
The ability to extend your mind via your aura - telekinesis, telepathy, remote viewing and other abilities become available. 
=== Corruptive Mana ===
The ability to manipulate the soul and the body of the user, bending it to your will.
