Magic

Magic is a very important element within the universe of Thrilling Intent - many of it remains a mystery, leaving many theories and much still not yet understood.
== Types ==
The two main types of magic are divine magic and arcane magic - there are subsets in those categories, such as Spiritfolk magic within divine or necromancy within arcane.
=== Divine ===
Magic used by Spiritfolk, it's generally tied to a specific domain or theme. Spirits seem to be able to lend their magic to humans, such as Horaven. 
=== Arcane ===
Arcane magic is used by humans and possibly other kinds of nonspirits, for the most part, requires components to perform. Sorcerer's bypass this need for components but have to follow their unique sets of rules, with those rules being forged by one's own character and skills. 
=== SPELL ===
A runic alphabet that alters the world with phrases, seemingly has connections to the Zeth and "The Verse"
=== Alchemy ===
Alchemy is a related however seperate field of magic from the usual Divine and Arcane types. It is described by Faria, a skilled user of it, as "to bring something that you imagine into the world." It is to bring about one's desires into the world, whether through machinery or chemicals. It is further described as a combination between intent and execution, with the intent behind any alchemy being vastly important as to the final product of any usage. Furhtermore, one's alchemical skill can be altered or changed by one's involvement or afflictions with other forms of magic, as evident by Harlock's alchemy beggining to be 'off', after the destruction of Castle Crowhenge in the Duet of Dungeons arc.

===The Golden Age of Magic===
It's not know how long ago this age was due to the records of it largely being destroyed. During the Golden Age of magic, everyone possessed magical talent, not only that but they were all incredibly powerful and able to use spells without incantations or components. This Age ended with some sort of cataclysmic event and resulted in only certain kinds of people being able to use magic. While only speculation, the cataclysm that Astra spoke of in her tale could be the same that brought an end to the Golden Age.  
===After The Golden Age ===
Sometime after the cataclysm a group of "Wizard Fascists' Calling themselves The Exceptionalists began to rise to power and control the people. This lasted until they learned magic power could only stand up to so many angry peasants.  
===The Bronze Age of Magic===
An age of witch hunts that lasted for at least 100 years. Magic users went into hiding and a lot of the ancient knowledge was lost.
The Tin Age of Magic
The current age of magic, the witch hunts have died down and magic is still viewed with general suspicion. There are many different schools of thought regarding this age and Tin Age is just one way of referring to it.  
== Relationship between magics ==
It seems as though Arcane and Divine magic don't like to interact, as arcane magic has a tendency to rip apart Spiritfolk. Both kinds of magic have difficulty altering completely mundane things, such as a brick. Category:Magic
