Magic

Magic is a type of energy that comes in many various shapes. It is unique in two things. For one it is the only form of energy that can be created and destroyed and secondly it has the ability to imitate other elements such as fire, rock or dark matter.

## Magics secession to science

Magic and science are two different things. This is because of the things magic is made of. Magic energy isnt made out of atoms or molecules, or cells but out of Arcane mass, a substance that also is found in the bodies of shapeshifters. It is able to change its consistency, when under the right circumstances, in a range that reaches far wider than the usual three states of matter. Because of the closed place the magic sciences (Arcanies) are, it is widely believed in the science scene, that most theories of the Arcany are just plain wrong and made up by a bunch of frauds, and that magic energy in fact is explainable with science.

## Magics connection to earth

The planetary body of Kosotheos is believed to be strongly tied to magic energy. It has been observed that magic users, that are shot into Kosotheos´s atmosphere have heavy deficites in their magic use. When magic users were brought to a station in outer space they lost their magic abilities completely but got them back after returning to the ground of Kosotheos. A lot of aspects about magic energy are still very vague and unproven.

## Forms of Magic

Magic can imitate elements but only a few actually appear in nature and can be replicated by living organisms. The main types of magic are:

* Fire
* Water
* Wind
* Earth
* Rock
* Ice
* Electricity
* Metal
* Gas
* Plant cells
* Dark matter
* Radio frequencies
* Arcane magic
* Blood magic

There are different aspects to a few of magic types that are in the lane of its type but are more outgoing, Like dark magic with its aspect of void magic.

When magic doesnt imitates an element it is there as arcane magic. This form is more compatible with dead matter and is perfectly for enchanting objects. Therefore it is often stored in wands or staffs when used by intelligent lifeforms as it enhances the strength of the magic used. Other forms of magic can be channeled through objects like these by magic crystals or as it is called correctly "Viricium".

## Appearances of magic

Magic energy can appear in the air, the earth or all types of lifeforms. The arcane mass is, in this case stored in the bloodlines and changes its form based on how the blood type, how it flows and how the body moves.

One of the most common appearances in nature of magic is Viricium or magic crystals. This material is very good in storing every type of magic and appears in large groups in caves or canyons. It is often used in Arcany and probably one of the most useful materials.

## Different forms of Arcane mass

While magic energy can be stored in dead materials. There are other compositions of arcane mass that function completely different: Qi and Galstery.

### Qi

Qi is stored in the bones and only appears in lifeforms. It can be controlled by the life its in, to improve health and agility. When used correctly it also can deliver a lot of energy to the body (keyword energy vampire).

### Galstery

Galstery is stored in the muscles and in the crave. It is mostly useless ther though. The only place it can be used is in the vocal records. Using Galstery makes it possible to make sounds that usally cant be made by the users species. Galstery is mostly used for singing in southern cultures but also for sacred chants. Its most popular use is spellcasting. In presence with magic devices like wands, the magic sounds of the Galstery affect the magic energy and for example shoot out bursts of magic energy from the wand.

## In culture

### the first time

A Kejoan myth tells of a man called Sasisi that, in the desert of Karaffa felt sadness. He was without friends but saw two best friends everywhere he got. He saw the sand and the wind playing with each other for thousands of years. Desperate to be the third in the friend duo, he tried to play with them... and for the first time in history used magic to play with the sand and the wind. There are many other stories from all over the world, that document the first use of magic, but this Kejoan story to this day has the most historic backing although it is unclear if its true.

### forbidden techniques

There a some magic techniques and forms of magic techniques that are considered forbidden by the WWMO (World Wide Magic Organization). These are considered illegal and therefore witchcraft. People who use these techniques openly or have been suspected to use it, are arrested immediately and are considered witches or witchers. The forbidden techniques are:

* Radio
* certain zones of blood magic

the forbidden forms of techniques are:

* void magic (Dark magic)
* weather magic (a mix of electricity, wind and water magic)

### Magic in symbols

Magic has been associated all over the world with different plants or animals. In Nurnic cultures like Dhake or shadow culture, magic is associated with cats or the Zarigian tree. The Kejos, ironically associate magic with their own species.
