Magic

**Magic**, sometimes called **sorcery**, known to the Chrelytians as **Askara** was a powerful force that existed within the three dimensions of Realitea.
It was a common belief that magic held reality together.

## History

### Origin

Magic seems to have existed before Realita or life itself existed. The forces of Nalasai and Sadanai were the first users of magic in history.

### First users

The mysterious Ascalians were the first beings to master the concept of magic. They existed before the current universe amd are the oldest species in Realitea. Eventually they transcended the state of life and became one with Realitea, but they were still able to retain their own consciousness.
The Chrelytians were made of pure energy and all of them were able to manipulate magic. They believed themselves to be the first species ever created, this however was false. They were the first species to be able to manipulate magic in the current universe.

## Askarai

Askarai (Chrelytian for users of magic) are beings that are able to manipulate magic. These beings were able to manipulate magic in many ways such as telekinesis or elemental manipulation. The ability to use magic is born with a person. Beings who are not Askarai can still use spells and incantations and can learn to defend themselves against Askarai.

A rare ritual exists which can transform a being into an Askarai, though this is extremely painful and traumatizing.

It seems the ability to use magic was random as many beings were Askarai without having a single Askarai in their family, though there were families were the ability was apparently genetic. It was a rare ability, about 1 in 100,000 was able to manipulate for humans, some species had higher or lower numbers of Askarai. All Chrelytians, Lasatians and Kadri-radaka were Askarai.

### Training

Most Askarai require training to properply use their connection and use their abilities. Though they sometimes still manifested abilities such as danger sense or enhanced abilities such as coordination or insight.
Though it was extremely rare, some individuals trained themselves in using magic. Noa Ankhsenna, who received no training and only had herself to rely on, was an extremely powerful being when provoked and nearly killed Jayden Mortis when he attacked her. Even more rare was the ability to use abilities instantly without proper training. Jensen Hayledea could bend the energy within people out of sheer will and could master any ability within a short amount of time.
