Magic

This world is a unique world similar to the Victorian era (1837–1901), what is commonly called the Belle Époque (1884–1914). **Magic**, sub-races, creatures, spirits and even gods exist. The **Magic Tower** is separated in the 'Old Magic Tower', the 'New Magic Tower' and the 'School Association'.

## History of Magic

“Magic must be practical. If not, at least there shouldn’t be any magic without meaning. This is the base of all magic.”

Magic can only be used with magical powers and primordial magic, a very primitive form of magic, is based on the manifestation of this magical power. That was the first specialization of the manifestation system, named <Magic release>. From the release of such magical power, the **<Elemental Attributes>** was developed, which contains the elements of nature in the magic.

It has now been established as a part of the manifestation system, but in the early primitive forms of magic, elemental attributes were called the basis of all magic. <Fire> <Water> <Earth> and <Wind> were the first four attributes. Since then, <Elemental Attributes> have been developed and analyzed from a rational point of view rather than a natural symbol. The number of elements that used to be four has increased to ten. A conflict has arisen between the mystic school, which values ​​tradition, and the natural science school, which seeks to further develop modern science by applying it. After civilization was established and took shape, magic continued to develop. The hierarchy was divided, and the higher the magic hierarchy, the stronger the power and the higher the lethality.

The first target was a monster. However, even after the monsters were driven out to the continent of shadows, magic grew stronger, because of the cryptids. Later, magic was developed to kill humans. War, colonial rule and violence were the driving force that further strengthened and developed magic. In the current era of peace, those words were nothing short of taboo for the students learning magic.

## Magic Systems

### Manifestation System

* Release
* Elemental Attribute
* Telekinesis
* Reinforcement/Strengthening

The 'Manifestation System' is also referred to as **the four specializations of manifestations**. Usually, it is enough to teach/ learn two of those four. The speed of magic manifestation is always considered as the top priority for wizards to overcome. An easy way to reduce the casting time is a magic scroll, which is storing existing magic in a medium in advance (but it's only a one-time use). Another way is a magic called [Reverberation of Memory], that activates the magic in advance and stores it (but also limited).

**Attribute elements** are divided into a total of 10 (<Fire> <Water> <Wind> <Earth> <Wood> <Lighting> <Metal> <Ice> <Dark> <Light>) and unknown ones that have not yet been discovered. In the case of ordinary wizards, they are normally able to wield two to three attributes, but some very talented can use four different attributes. From five, it can be said that is the realm of innate talent. As a result, wizards basically set their opponents to three elements because that was common sense, and it was natural. It is the most important field for wizards, and it was also the most popular specialization that most people think of when they hear the word ‘magic’.

The advanced form of **Attribute elements** is **Nesting of Elements**. It is the combination of two (or more) elements into one.

### Implementation System

* Material Generation
* Transformation
* Alchemy

The Implementation System is also referred to as **the three specializations of implementation**.

### Summon System

* Spirit
* Golem
* Magic Beast
* Necromancy

The 'magic beast' is like the soul mate of a wizard. When summoned, a magical beast consumes that much magical power, but for that moment, it guarantees tremendous stability and combat power. Summoning the magical beast is not simply a theoretical process. It is a little more instinctive and intuitive, and it is a process that requires enlightenment.

Although a magic beast is made of mana, it cannot be regarded as a living creature. Nevertheless, it exists in reality with a will. The reason is that the will of a wizard is created by dwelling in mana for a long time. In the Summoning School academia, there is still a discussion about the magic beast. There is a never-ending debate over whether magical water should be viewed as a naturally occurring creature or an artificially created entity.

### Curse System

* Astrology
* Enchantment
* Hallucination
* Pharmacology
* Witchcraft
* Enchant

## Other Magic

### Arcane

It is vague to say that it is magic, but it clearly refers to a system that can be manifested through magic. Arcane magic that has been passed down from generation to generation in families or someone pioneered a unique method of their own belongs to this time of **[special]**. This specialization is not taught.

### Black Magic

Black magic is banned at the national level, so the death penalty is unconditional, regardless of the reason for being caught. An example of black magic is a cursed potion made by adding various medicinal substances to the water with wolf paws and mixing it with wolf's fur (a transformation potion that allows ordinary humans to turn into a beast by drinking it).

### Real Magic

The 'real magic' is partly based on the real-life '**The Sefirot of the Tree of Life (Kabbalah)**'.

[\*] Da’at was not considered a Sefirah and has no number assigned to it. It is sometimes referred to as the 'invisible Sefirah'.

**Bhumisparsha Mudra** and **Ars Goetia** also belong to the 'real magic', but **it is currently unknown what exactly the 'real magic' refers to**.

## Magic Tier List

 5

It is hinted that the titles of the magic tiers are actually a reference to the first magician who analyzed, separated, and organized the magic of this tier. For example: the people know that the 8th tier is named 'Grander', but they don't know why. Contrary to that, Imperia was the first wizard to achieve the 7th rank. It is said that he was the emperor of the empire in the past, long before science developed like it is now.
