Magic System

The power system of Void Evolution System can be described as the journey of a being to define their existence and build their Divinity. The magic of the universe is defined by elemental affinities, mana and levels, and is something of a hybrid between magic and cultivation. There is also a status-window-like phenomenon known as the Records, which is a mysterious and semi-sentient phenomenon of Universal Law that exists to quantify, organize and define an individual's existence and powers and help them to grow in strength through both training and killing. The records define the following things; level, race, class, experience, titles, traits, special constitutions, stats and skills.

### Records

The records use the concept of levels, experience and stats in order to quantify a person's overall power. It also records elemental affinities, titles, special physiques and traits, as well as the being's class. It is understood that the information given by the records is not a definite indicator of one's strength. It is flawed in later stages as it cannot quantify a person's battle sense or other such factors, nor the extent of their comprehension, which is the most important factor of a person's combat strength, especially starting from Fourth Class.

In addition to information about the individual's existence, the records also list "skills". In the first couple of stages, skills are powers or techniques that are activated and used through the guidance of the records, mainly in order to help the being get a feel for mana and their element. As such, skills become useless as the individual starts understanding their element on their own and stops relying on the records to activate and use their abilities. As this happens, skills evolve from describing specific techniques to describing broader facets of the individual's powers. For example, Damien's *Short Distance Teleportation* became *Dimensional Magic*.

### Classes

The power level of beings is divided into stages. An individual's stage of existence can be said to mean the extent to which they can enforce their will on the principles of the Universe. To advance to a higher stage of existence, an individual must meet a certain level requirement, however, this is only for the early stages. Later on, in order to advance, they must develop a satisfactory degree of understanding of their element/s, otherwise they will get no further no matter how much experience they collect.

Once a person advances to the next stage, they achieve the qualifications to receive a "class"; Classes are vocations in the vein of things like *Swordsman*, *Mage*, *Ranger, Beast Tamer* and other such things, and a person's class serves the purpose of helping to define their existence and pave their path forward. A person is given a choice of multiple classes each time they advance which are all based on their specific elements and abilities, allowing them to choose their specific path forward. As such, there are an extremely large number of classes and many of them are unique.
