Magic

**Magic** is the technique of manipulating R-Strings by using universal Runes which are powered by the user's energy. Magic is most common with Outversers, and mortals take longer to practice and use it.

## Obtainment

Magic can only be obtained by consumption of a Pink Exotic. The effects are not instantaneous and may take a few hours to days for the magic to seep into the subject. Magic is obtained through digestion of a Pink Exotic into the bloodstream, allowing them to use the magic contained within. Injection seems to not work and actually ends up killing the user instead of granting them magic.

The only other way is to be born with magic, which is only accessible to Outversers. Outversers have been corrupted by the Void and connected with the infinite amount of energy from the Void. For more information about how magic for Outversers work, go to the Outverser article.

## Ways to Use Magic

There are many different ways to learn and use magic. It is all up to how the person wants to use the magic and what type of magic they are going for. However, all magic is based around the concept of Runes, a primordial and ancient language that existed way before the Prime but was heavily documented by them.

Magic can be used vocally, that is, a person can speak the runes at a target and the spell will be complete. Most simple spells are done this way, since they do not require advanced techniques.

Magic can be used somatically, that is, a person can motion the runes with their body, usually the hands/fingers. This is sometimes combined with vocal magic to advance and specify the spell they are using. More advanced techniques such as portal ripping, space bending, matter creation, etc. are used with this technique.

Finally, magic can be used physically, that is, Runes can be etched into a surface to permanently give it a spell. The spell can only disappear when the etching also disappears. Another important variable is the cleanliness of the etching. A more elegant and clean spell will have a much powerful effect than a rough and messy spell.

## Types of Magic

Below is a list of different types of magic. They may range in usefulness and rarity. The list may never be complete, as more spells are crafted each day and new Outversers with strange powers are found. This is just what is the most common so far.

* Anatanomy
* Conjuronomy
* Materianomy
* Mentanomy
* Necronomy
* Spatianomy
* Splitonomy
* Temporonomy

## Culture and Relevance

Magic is quite rare. This may due to either a) Pink Exotics are hard to find, b) people do not have the time to dedicate themselves to practicing magic, and c) people do not want to be ostracized and falsely claimed as an Outverser.

Magic is mainly seen as dangerous and uncontrollable due to the stereotyping of Outversers and them being closely related to magic. If you're gonna do magic, it's wise to do it in a private environment with close friends.

The only way magic has been seen as good, is through the Hydra League, a band of sorcerers who use magic as a way to kill troubling Outversers.

## Science of Magic

Magic is a considerable hot topic in the science community, debating whether if it even counts as science. Magic is mostly described as a field in physics, near the range of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics.

Magic can be explained as using energy to manipulate the variables in an R-String, by using a very specific universal language and motion.
