Magic

**Magic** is a powerful resource used by many within the kingdoms of Ishonet. It was a gift from the gods, though only originally intended for the royal families, those who use their magic have honed it into something special. Magic can be used for combat, healing, performance as well as countless other uses.

## History

Magic was granted to the people of Ishonet by accident after the Deities only intended to give it to the Kingdom leaders. As the people adjusted to their newfound abilities the kingdom leaders struggled to come to an agreement regarding proper magic usage and these arguments eventually caused the great war between the four Kingdoms.

After the war, laws were established across al four Kingdoms regarding the usage of magic.

### Magic Laws

* Magic is not to be used to harm another citizen with the following exceptions
	+ It is out of self-defense
	+ It is a sanctioned dueling event
	+ You are a member of your Kingdom's military
* Magic may never be used against military officials or members of the Royal Families
* Certain spells are forbidden and not allowed to be taught or practiced under any circumstances.
* Using magic to destroy property is forbidden

The breaking of any of these laws can result in imprisonment, exile and in extreme cases, execution. Punishment is ultimately decided by the ruling power delegated by each Kingdom.

## Types of Magic

### Light and Dark Magic

Light Magic and Dark Magic are both unusable to the people of Ishonet due to both if their original users, Ishonet and Shadros being killed before Magic was granted to the citizens

### Water Magic

Water Magic is one of the original four Elements that can be wielded by the people, originally used by Midon. Water Magic as with the other magic types does not need a source of water as the users can generate it themselves. Water Magic is relatively simple to learn and one of the more common magics used for healing.

### Air Magic

Air Magic is one of the original four Elements that can be wielded by the people, originally used by Malara. Since air is all around, people with Air Magic can cast freely. Air Magic is also relatively simple to learn, but most people who use it must be patience and graceful. It is mostly a supportive magic, but has some offensive purposes.

### Nature Magic

Nature Magic is one of the original four Elements that can wielded by the people, originally used by Vemera. Nature can be used by either channeling nature into magic or by manipulating the nature around you. Nature is mostly a healing magic but has plenty of offensive and defensive uses as well.

### Fire Magic

Fire Magic is one of the original four Elements that can be wielded by the people, originally used by Thatris. Fire is mostly used offensively, it's sheer destructive nature makes it a great weapon for bringing down enemies, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's supportive uses.

### Ice Magic

Ice Magic is one of the four combination Elements achieved by mixing Water and Air, originally used by Irus. Ice is a mostly defensive magic by stunning, shielding and debuffing your enemies along with some healing and offensive properties.

### Storm Magic

Storm Magic is one of the four combination Elements achieved by mixing Air and Fire, originally used by Selous. Storm Magic, similar to Fire Magic is mostly used offensively, can often strike multiple enemies at once and is the fastest magic, often increasing speed.

### Magma Magic

Magma Magic is one of the four combination Elements achieved by mixing Fire and Nature, originally used by Ora. Magma Magic is similar to to both Fire and Storm magic has it has plenty of offensive uses, but will also strengthen the user's defense and allow them to be quite bulky. As with others, it has healing abilities as well

### Mystic Magic

Mystic Magic is one of the four combination Elements achieved by mixing Nature and Water, originally used by Renora. Mystic Magic is a bit different than the other types of magic, as a lot of people don't quite understand what it is. However, those who are Mystic Magic users love the magic they have been blessed with. It is mostly a healing type of magic but has plenty of offensive and defensive uses

## Magic Users

Not everyone in Ishonet can use magic, but many of them can. Approximately 60% of the citizens in Ishonet have Magic. What type of Magic someone will be born with completely depends on their parents. If two parents have no magic, then the child will not have Magic, unless most of the child's grandparents have magic, then there is a very slight chance of that child getting magic.

### Genenetics

* If one parent has magic, then the child as a 25% chance of being born with the same magic as their parents and a 75% chance of being born with no magic.
* If both parents have magic, then the child has a 50% percent chance of being born with their magic.
	+ If the parents have two incompatible types of magic (i.e Fire and Water) they still have a 50% chance of getting magic, but they have a 25% chance of getting either Fire or Water within that 50%.
		- If the parents have two compatible types of magic (i.e Water and Air) then the 50% of magic is broken down birther. The child now has a 33% percent chance of getting each of the original types, either Water or Air, but there is a 17% chance of those elements combining into a new element, in this case: Ice.

### Combinations

* **Fire + Air = Storm**
* **Air + Water = Ice**
* **Water + Nature = Mystic**
* **Nature + Fire = Magma**

## Magic Usage

There are three different ways for people to use their magic. They can be one of the following:

* **Pure Magic Castor** - This is someone who relies solely on their magical abilities. These will commonly be powerful mages, healers, etc. They can use weapons but they tend to focus more on advancing their raw magical abilitiy.
* **Hybrid User** - This is someone who uses magic to enhance their fighting style. They prefer using weapons and learning combat skills, but they tend to know decently advanced spells.
* **Pure Weapon User** - This is someone who puts most of their effort into their weaponry skills, they may use their magic and learn some spells but they mostly use their weapons.
