Magic

***THE COMMANDMENTS OF MAGIC***
*2 - There is no morality in magic. It is an instrument and what will make it be considered good or evil is how it can be applied and affect other people.*
*3 - Magic is a science. To execute it, it is necessary to understand its formulas and calculations, called spells and rituals by us.*
*4 - Each spell has a specific effect linked to it and never changes. No matter who casts the spell, it will always have exactly the same effect if cast correctly.*

The Levels Of Magic
2- Intermediate
3- Advanced
4- Saintly
5- Kingly
6- Imperial

*Only certain individuals in society develop the ability to use cythur naturally. This could be due to species or race, bloodlines or age or a mixture of all. The most standard way to gain magical abilities is by genetic inheritance (although many times the children of Cythur Wielders do not inherit magical ability). Mutations occur too, but very very rarely, so it is very limited in "standard" society.*

*These mechanisms of genetic inheritance of magic also occur in animals, giving rise to very interesting species. The problem is that the production and accumulation of magic consumes, metabolically, a lot of energy, so it is a limited survival strategy and not developed in all species or individuals of species.*

*Not all applied magic has the same source of magic power or requires magic to function. For example, theurgy is rather a ritual school of invocation that does not require magical ability, although sometimes magical materials do.*

*And the pranic application consumes "life energy" rather than magical potential, but requires a lot of training, some talent, and perhaps a gift.*

***The schools are split into 5 schools. Applied. Psionic. Technical, Direct and Forbidden***

# ***Magic***

## ***Technical***

The Technical school of magic is novel engineering that combines science, technology and magic to obtain utilities and artifacts. Technical magic is the conjunction of magic and technology. Technical magic does not require magical users, only magical materials and knowledge about magic. Thus, even non-magical people can become magical engineers, technologists or even Runologists.

## ***Applied***

The applied school of magic is utilizing cythur to to things and apply Cythuric aspects. Potions are the most commonly made items with this but it could apply to a lot.

## ***Psionic***

The Psionic school if magic is highly specialized pseudo-magical schools that work with and train psionic users (ie, those who can perform phenomena with the mind and will while consuming minimal cythur). ***They are differentiated by mind-skill (Psychic) and mind-strength (telekinetic).***

## ***Forbidden/taboo***

The Forbidden schools of magic is an arbitrary and disorderly category of magical doctrines that are illegal or prohibited by GIFT Cythuric proliferation treaties.

These branches of magic are still being studied from an academic point of view, but access to such knowledge is severely restricted. In GIFT territories, if seen using forbidden magic, a warning is given until a hefty fine and finally jail time for violating interstellar treaties and laws on weapons of mass destruction and sentient rights.

## ***Direct/Conduct***

The Direct or Conductive school of magic is, for some, the most pure form of Cythuric control. It includes Primal Magic, Metamagic, Sorcery, Paraprimal. It usually consumes heavy amounts cythur when used. This is the largest group with the most subsections.
