Magic

Magic is a supernatural force of great power that originated from the essence of Hecate and the gods and angels themselves. The force of Hecate, **magia** flows through the veins of sorcerers, who have the power to harness that energy and manipulate reality. Sorcerers have magia with **vita**, the force of Phanes that flows through all living things. The Immortals, however, use **divine magic**, which is a very powerful type of magic that exceeds mortal understanding, and would just be seen as the Immortals' natural abilities, rather than magic.

## Types of Magic

There are many different types of magic. There is a lot of overlap, however, so it might be tricky. Basically, each sorcerer has a natural affinity for a certain type of elemental magic, despite them being able to cast spells from any type and apply those types of magic. Usually, sorcerers specializing in certain types of magic would find it easier to channel the element and perform feats without many incantations.
