**Magic** (魔法 *Mahō*), sometimes called *the power of creation*, is the practice of transforming Magoi into other substances by commanding the Rukh that produce it. Different outcomes can be achieved depending on the commands given and the type of Rukh that is called upon.

Magic is extremely complex and has had a myriad of uses throughout history. Entire lifetimes have been devoted to studying it and uncovering it's hidden capabilities.

## Method

### Communication

In order to use magic, the user must be able to observe and relay commands to the rukh. People born with this ability are called Magicians.

### Formulas

Commands are typically relayed to the Rukh via a formulation of various commands. The "formulas" used to produce magic have improved over time and made magoi use more efficient, making magic less physically demanding and more powerful.

### Spells

*See: List of Spells.*
Spells are pre-constructed formulas wrapped into a short verbal command.source? The creation and naming conventions of spells is not entirely clear.

### Recoil

When a magician uses magic, there is some recoil produced. The magician's rukh limit the amount of magoi they produce to protect the body. For this reason, a magician who has trained their body is capable of accessing more magoi and casting more powerful spells.

## Types of Magic

### Basic Classification

Like the Rukh themselves, there are theoretically infinite types of magic. As a practical way to keep track of them, the same eight type classification system devised for categorizing the Rukh is also used to categorize magic.  Ultimately, all types of magic are sorted under these eight types.

Magicians are also categorized this way, based on their personal Rukh affinity.

Type 4 Magic, known as "**Thunder Magic**" calls upon the *Yellow Rukh* who's magoi manipulates electricity.
Type 5 Magic, known as "**Wind Magic**" calls upon the *White Rukh* (not to be confused with the White Rukh of Solomon) who's magoi creates wind.
Type 6 Magic, known as "**Sound Magic**" calls upon the *Green Rukh* who's magoi manipulates sound waves.
Type 7 Magic, known as "**Strength Magic**" calls upon the *Black Rukh* (not to be confused with the Black Rukh of Ill Ilah) who's magoi does... something?
Type 8 Magic, known as "**Life Magic**" calls upon the *Purple Rukh* who's magoi controls living organisms.

### Sub-types

Magic sub-types are not their own types of magic, but rather specialized forms within single types.

 **Healing Magic** is a sub-type of Type 8 Life Magic which is used to heal wounds and cure sickness.

### Composite Magic

*Main article: Composite Magic.*
"Composite Magic" is a term used to describe any form of magic that utilizes more than one of the eight types.

## Magic Tools

Magic Tools allow individuals to wield Magic by using their Magoi to cast one or more predetermined spells.  Unlike all other forms of magic, magic tools can be used by both magicians and non-magicians.

## Djinn's Magic

*Main article: Djinn.*
Djinn are beings of pure powersource? unlike anything else in the new world.

For people who are not born with the ability to communicate with the Ruhk, options to utilize magic are limited. However, when it comes to a Djinn's magic, Magicians are unable to wield it as they are incompatible.source? It is a power uniquely accessible to non-magicians.

### Metal Vessels

*Main article: Metal Vessels.*
Metal Vessels are objects that contain a Djinn. The user can vicariously wield the Djinn's magic using either the magoi stored in the metal vessel or from their own supply. Aside from very basic magic,source? they are limited to the specifically designed spells spells that the Djinn relays to them and typically have access to only one type of magicsource?. Metal vessels can only be used by the Djinn's master.

### Household Vessels

*Main article: Household Vessels*
Household Vessels are objects belonging to a household member that contain a household.source? They are limited to the spells relayed to the by the household. They can only be used by the household members who own them and become useless if the King's Candidate isn't in contact with their metal vessel.

### Fusion

Humans artificially fused with dungeon technology.

## Origin

Magic originated in Alma Torran when the world was on the brink of destruction due to war, the creator and God of Alma Torran, Ill Ilah, gave the last five hundred surviving humans a part of it's own power as a creator, in hopes that having one species above all others would bring harmony to the world. This was the ability to freely communicate with and draw magoi from the Rukh, making all humans of Alma Torran into Magi.

Like the species they were created from, the new humans largely had no access to magic. However, magicians of varying levels are occasionally born from time to time. The reasons behind this are unclear.
