Magic

Magic is one of the skill systems in the world of *Reincarnated as a Sword*. Magic needs a natural affinity to unlock. If one does not possess the aptitude for a certain element, they would never be able to use it no matter how hard you tried. For compound elements, not only do they need to have an affinity for two different elements, but they require a third affinity for the compound magic. Certain races have a natural affinity for a specific basic element, for example, wood elves are born with the wood element. The traditional way of learning magic was having a master teach it to a student. There are also various items and tools used to unlock the magic. The non-traditional methods to obtain an element involve becoming closer to said element by relishing in the element through feeling, hearing, imagining, etc., the element until it appears in the person's dreams.
