Blue Magic

Originally created after Purple Magic was split in two, Blue Magic largely encompasses the part of Purple Magic in charge of time manipulation. Seeing as the separation wasn’t perfect, blue is able to shape a fair bit of reality as well, as can all Magic. Blue Magic is also the Magic most compatible with life, which has led Mortals to deem this Magic “good”, although the label of “good” or “bad” is largely arbitrary. It’s power is equal, but opposite, to Red Magic.

Blue Magic is most commonly used in healing. It speeds up the healing process of nearby individuals, sometimes to the point where an injury can fully heal almost instantly. It also promotes the growth of plant life, so areas with a high concentration of Blue Magic will often be covered in forests or groves blooming with plant and animal life. The effects of this can be seen as soon as Blue Magic is introduced to an area. If there was recently a battle with mages who use blue, the aftermath will be readily apparent with little plants beginning to sprout in the carnage. It can also be used to manipulate one’s emotions, most commonly giving off a calming effect of putting someone to sleep.

As an extent of time, Blue Magic can also grant someone immortality if used correctly. They can use the power of time to slow the aging process and keep themselves young forever. That said, because Blue Magic is still very powerful, those who try to abuse it to this extent will more often than not lose control of their power and more or less be “cursed” to live forever. As well as that, Blue Magic can offer glimpses into the future. How clear and how accurate these visions are largely depend on how concentrated and how much Blue Magic is used. The user will be able to peer into several possible timelines in any range of time spans, and it's up to them to determine which is most likely and which is preferable. None of these timelines are set in stone, however. The only way to see the “set” timeline is to use Purple Magic.

Blue Magic, while only half as powerful as purple, is still too much for the average Mortal to handle in large amounts. Too much Blue Magic in one’s system can easily cause death despite the fact it’s known to heal and promote life. People who are over saturated with Blue Magic will act manic. Time will “speed up” for them, making them jittery and twitchy. Their mind will move too fast for them to make calculated decisions, so often they’ll lash out or say/do something uncharacteristic for them. The reason Blue Magic is considered “good” is because most people with ill intentions will try and use too much Blue Magic, causing them to succumb to its power. It also attempts to heal the broken and damaged souls of Demons, causing half of their souls to be destroyed and killing them as a result. Therefore, people believe that Blue Magic smites evil beings. Plus, it’s able to neutralize the effects of Red Magic, which is believed to be the “bad” or “evil” variant of Magic.

Pure Blue Magic can most commonly be found in plants or soil. Seeing as it promotes plant growth, many plants have trace amounts of Blue Magic in their system. This Magic can be extracted by crushing these plants into a paste, then squeezing the liquid through a strainer until you’re left with nothing but Magic residue. Blue Magic can also be found inside the water supply of areas where it’s in high concentration. Collecting it from the water is as easy as distilling it, although it takes far more water to get a considerable amount of it than it does plants.
