Magic

In my fantasy universe mawork like some king of programming language.
For use it there are 3 possible method:

* Use one's magic, the user use his/her own magical energy
* Use external resources, the user take the energy from external like containers/battery or from the environment
* Combine both own energy and the one that can take from external sources

## How work

Who want to use magic first must learn how recall the energy and control it on both shape and quantity.

Once one learn the base can use one of the 3 methods:

* Magic circle, the user create an energy platform (can have any shpa but normally is a circle) with his magic and use the magic language for create the spell (or program), after done this he/she just need to release energy in specific points of the formation for obtain the effect
* Chant a spell, the user recall the energy and then chant a spell, for this method to work the magic language must be a particular one that "resonate" with the script version of a written one (basically is a fonetic concept) or the chant don't work
* Device, the user have a special device that help the user or do most of the work, in this case the only thing need to do is fuel it with energy
* Combine one or more of the previous listed methods

## Symbology and Logic

The normal magical alphabet have 26 symbols (like a normal alphabet) but with the progress, the need of make spell in more short times and various other reasons, the basic alphabet was change a little resulting into the creation of other symbols and in the conversion of the basic letters into glyphs when they are put under a specific condition.
The reason of this change come from 3 main elements:

* management, since use spell require the creation of an energy platform, the quantity of energy needed change based on the number of the symbols used so more symbols = more energy
* writing speed, use a spell need time because the process is not short and require various actions that must be don by the user so have symbols that make the process more short decrease the time need for the spell
* platform's size, the size of the platform is influenced by the number of symbols on it

For use a spell not only the user need to know the symbology and the script but need to know too the effect of it and the logic, once done this the user can personalize the spell so that it will fit the need

## Energies

Magic practioners in this universe can use magic via 4 types of energies:

- **Magical Energy**

Aka Mana, contrary to basically all the type of magic that is told in all the fantasy products aside one (I say only one because I know only one exception), magical energy is a biological type of energy that is generated in a gland inside the body (for more info please read the Gland section below)

- **Life force**

This energy is more related to the soul of the user and use it is dangerous because the chance of damage the lifespan is very high plus the recovery of it is very slow in magical oriented users so is something both dangerous and not very usefull.

In some extent can be used

- **Aura**

WIth this word I refer to a particular type of energy that is mixed of various elements, basically is very small quantity of life force that mix itself with stamina and the electrical energy that cross the body via the normal nervous system.

Once mixed the energy become different from the single elements that compose it and come out from the body with an appearance that is something between a colored flame and colored steam, normal people are not able to see it or perceive it.

- **Prana**

The original use of this word is for refere to the life force but here is used for refere to a powerfull mix of energy that a user can do.

When I say mix I mean that the Prana here is the result of the mix of 2 or all 3 types of energy that I listed before.

The number of energy make the difference in power but for make a little more simple I want to explain it with the general "mathematical formula" and the specific ones... I'm terrible with numbers so is quite simple

(X nY) \* nZ

in this formula " X " represent the quantity of energy used while " nY " represent the type of energy while nZ represent the number of energy used but here the more "specific" formula

(X type energy 1 + X type energy 2) \* 2   or    (X type energy1 + X type energy 2 + X type energy 3) \* 3

Please note that in this case " nY " or " type energy 1 " don't refer to a specific type of energy

As power source is very powerfull because its output is equal to the sum of the quantity of energy used multiplied for the type of energy used.

When used is good keep in mind that the quantity of energy used must be balanced, the reason of this is for make the output more stable.

When the Prana is used as source of power the result is something that can be considered a spell but at the same time is something different for this reason magial protection are mostly don't work or a very weak.

EXAMPLE

Fire protection against a normal fire ball = normal protection obtained from the protection

Fire protection against a fire ball made with prana = - 80%~95% effect granted by the protection

Prana is a type of power hard to obtain because is generally like look at different direction at the same while carrying heavy weights, for this reason the number of people that use it normally make personalized "Prana batteries" that they use when is need.

## Spell Interception, Resonance and Synchron

Spell Interception, Resonance and Syncron are 3 possible events that can happen while using magic.

- **Spell Interception**, a spell can be intercepted by other people and controlled, for this happen one must know the both the spell and the energy wave of the mage, when this happen the interceptor can take control of the spell and use it as he/she wish, in other terms is like hack an account and use it as one wish

- **Resonance**, this effect happen when 4 conditions are met, at first glance is similar to Spell Interception and Synchron but the truth is that is something on its own... Resonance is an event where 2 spells in different places connect to each other without the users know, for this happen the conditions that must be met are:

* Users have similar energy wave
* Users are using spells that are at least 89%~96% similar
* Users are in the same magical flow
* Users do the spell at the same time with less of one second between each other

When the conditions are met the effect of both the spells are the same but here a more simple example

User A & B make a summoning spell, User A summon a person that first appear where User A is located and then is transported where is User B

- **Synchron**, this event happen when 2 magic user have a similar energy wave and their spells are combined, this event can happen too when the 2 user go under special training for be able to do that at will; the most similiar thing I know is the Unison Raid of Fairy Tail

## Magical Biology

The ability of use magic in this world is biological related, this mean that one for use magic have only 2 choice that are use external resources of magical energy or be born with a special gland.

This gland is called Magical Energy Production Gland or in short MEPG.

There are 2 ways for someone to bo with a MEPG that are:

* Natural, he/she born with the gland
* Artificial, the person is born without a gland and use artficial mean for obtain one

For born with the gland one must have

* One or both parents have the gland (69%~83% chance of born with the gland if one of the parents have the gland while 100% if both parents have it)
* During the pregnancy the mother lived in a world rich of magical energy

In some cases one can grow a gland if he/she live in a world rich of magical energy and one of his parents have the gland; this cases are treated as "one that is born with the gland".

One for have a gland using artificial way it have to follow specific steps:

1. Do a complete medical check and this mean identify his/her energy wave (see below for more info)
2. Found a compatible being, animal or human is not important, that is compatible
3. Go under surgery
4. Suffer
5. Survive the step 4

The last 2 points are not clear so I have to explain it... when one transplants a gland, the body that was without it don't possess the sub nervous system that is granted by have a gland or have a parent with it but don't born with it, for this reason the gland need to force its way in the new body working in a similar way to a seed that grow its roots inside a rock, this process is painfull and dangerous because the shock can kill the person plus this process is slow and require time.

the age influence the chance of survive and the time need, more young he/she is than will have more chances and will need less time for obtain a complete sub nervous system.

Is possible imitate under certain limit the natural process that happen when a couple without the gland live in a world rich of magical energy.

For imitate the process the mother need to go under medical visits where she let the embryo be bombed by magical energy; in the natural process the mother "absorb" the magical energy and in the time "infuse it" in the embryo but in this simulated situation this don't happen making the procedure more dangerous because if the energy is not enough the gland will not form while if the energy used is too much then is possible that the embryo will be "deformed" (genetic diseases, madness, physical anomalies, etc.).

## MEPG

The Magical Energy Production Gland or MEPG (I know as acronym is quite horrible) is a special type of gland present in the beings that are able to use magic.
The gland is located in the rib chast connected to the backbone and a sub nervous system.

The gland, in some ways, is similar to a muscle and this mean that with exercises can become more strong and this meant that will be able to create more quantity of energy in the time.

Connected to the gland there is a sub nervous system that have 2 main function:

* Way for the magical energy to cross the body
* Store unused magical energy, magical energy stored don't "decay" and normally stay inside the user without time limit but when the sub nervous system is dmaged in some extent or the user die it will start to leak in the environment until there will be none left.

Similar to the gland the sub nervous system can be "trained" but in its case can only increase the quantity of energy can store... normally the system follow the progression of the gland but there are specific exercises for do that.

If a gland is damaged in any way it will heal with the time despite be able to continue to produce magical energy but in less quantity

A gland can be removed from a user but this is quite difficult and dangerous because the removal can cause a shock that kill the person.
Users that lost their MEPG, for a reason or another, can have it regrow but certain conditions must be met first:

* The user must be young
* The user have very big quantity of magical energy stored
* The user will not use magic in any way
* Its sub nervous system is not damaged
* A little portion of the gland is still present

When at least 4 of this conditions are met than is very possible (95%~98%) that the gland will recover but the time need is quite long but this procedure can be accelerated if in the place of the missing gland are placed special organic catalysts.

## Energy Wave and Color

Despite the various type of energy that one can have all of them possess a single wave or frequency, the concept is like a radio station that have different programs on air but only a single frequency used.

Despite each energy wave is "unique" the color that represent it is not unique, this because all the energy have a "double wave" that are:

- Unique, the unique frequency of each person

- Color wave, this wave basically define the color of the energy

While the lenght of the wave determines the color, the width determines the hue making it lighter (if is big) or darker (if is not big)

## Attributes

The attribute of my universe are divided in various tiers

* 1st tier, in this tier is located the "all and nothing" attribute, in other words are present light, darkness and Non-elemental aka Void
* 2nd tier, under this thier fall the classic 4 attribute that are fire, wind, earth and water
* 3rd tier, in this tier are present all the other elements like ice, lightning and so on

All the elements, aside the Void, have 2 "sides" that normally we can call Holy and Demon:

* Holy Elements, this elements basically embody the good aspect of the element and generally can have healing properties and things like that, for example water magic can heal or resurrect like light magic
* Demon Elements, this elements are the embodiment of the bad aspect of the attribute and generally have destructive property, this property change based on the attribute, for example water will act like acid while fire will have a strong disgregation effect
