Magic

Magic is the art and practice of wielding and manipulating cosmic forces. It involves sensing, twisting, manipulating, changing, and moving cosmic energy and using it to produce certain effects. About 12% of the population is born with the capacity to wield magic, though few ever put it into practice. Also, anyone possessing a Spark of Ran, whether awakened or not, is not able to use magic in any capacity. A user of magic is called a wizard, magician, or torlo. The spell cast depends on the user imagining it in their min and by the symbols written and the words spoken.
