Magic

Magic is an ancient and mysterious energy, alien to this dimension. The presence of Magic in an environment or subject is completely impossible if attempted through conventional means. Its volatile nature allows one many strange abilities if one is capable of manipulating it. Visually, Magic can manifest itself as many different colors and forms, from wavy yellow streams to solid blue barriers.

## History

Eons ago, at the birth of the Chaos Dimension, a being was born named Mana. Mana is the embodiment of all Magic, and so all Magic was born of her. Thousands of years pass, and the barriers between dimensions weaken ever so slightly, allowing Mana to spread her gift outside her home Dimension. Looking upon the Physical Dimension, Mana bestowed the gift of Magic upon countless living beings at random, almost as one would toss a stone into a pond or kick over a small dirt mound of ants. On Earth, those who are capable of manipulating Magic are known as Sorcerers.

## Capabilities

When one is gifted the ability to manipulate Magic, they are made into a conduit of the Chaos Dimension, being able to draw upon and shape the energy at their will. However, the amount of Magic one is able to draw upon and shape is limited by one's own physical capacity. Attempting to draw upon more Magic than one is capable of handling could lead to blacking out, severe weakness, bleeding and even death and permanently losing the ability to manipulate Magic. Magic can also manipulate the minds of living beings and the construction of objects and simple machines, but has no influence on technology with digital components.
