Magic

**Magic** is the form of arcane power to achieve supernatural effects and mystic powers through use of mystical practices, examples of practices include rituals, spells, potions and all its mystical forces. The practices of magic are the use of the supernatural that are built and ruled over arcane energies and otherworldly rules/laws that many used to influence their realities. Magic has also been considered by many as the only true way to obtain power over one's reality and the controls over nature itself.

Thus, users of this ability can use magic in order to accomplish extraordinary feats, as they are not limited to merely using magic in accordance to it's specific laws, but manipulate the very essence, and in some cases, the very concept of magic itself, allowing them to transcend the rules of magic as well as create new ones, and utilize magical forces without directly relying on the systems and rules in question, making distinct from not only mages but individuals born with the natural ability to use magic, as they must still adhere to some basic laws.

## Types of Magic

### Alchemy

Alchemy was a branch of magic and an ancient science concerned with the study of the composition, structure and magical properties of the four basic elements, as well as the transmutation of substances; it was thus intimately connected with potion-making, chemistry and transformation magic.

### Verbal Magic

The user can achieve almost anything through incantations: a series of words and magical formulae that were originally used to perform spells, enchantments and even trigger a magical effect on a person or objects as long as they have knowledge of the language their magic is initiated by and the necessary power to do so.

Incantations are also enhancements charms or spells that can be created using words, spoken, sung or chanted and be performed during ceremonial rituals, either a hymn or prayer, and may invoke or praise a deity or even as prayers in the world of magic.

### Sigil and Runes

The user an write down magical spells or symbols and activate them to create the desired effect. Users can imbue the written subjects with magic beforehand, so it won't consume their magical power when they do use it.

The writings can be transcribed into anything or with any medium so long as it is clearly written. As such, users can deploy traps by writing on the ground or walls. They can also transcribe long incantations into a written version in order to activate said spell much faster or create a new spell altogether by tweaking the words or symbols in original spells, by combining parts of individual spells into one.

### Artificial Magic

The user is capable of utilizing an artificial form of magic, a type of mystic force that derives from newer, non-standard or even foreign sources. Magic tends to follow certain laws and originate from specific sources: personal mystical power, environmental enhancement, entity invocation, etc. Users of this power can circumvent the limitations related to traditional practices and wield magical abilities similar to or even identical to the abilities of customary practitioners.

## Magical Artifacts

The user has access to an object that grants them mystic powers. Some of the best known objects in this category include wands, staffs, rings, cloth and weapons. The most powerful of these objects allow a powerful magic user to unleash the full extent of their skills. It may be more easily utilized by a user who was born with an affinity for the arcane, although this is not always the case.
If users with little to no prowess in the arcane arts enter into contact with them, then the power of the artifact may overwhelm them, causing many side-effects such as not being able to use the power or being driven to madness, or even dying. Note that the object can be wielded by anyone, even those who are not born with an affinity for magic. In this case, it may take more time to learn or control all of the abilities that the artifact possesses.
