Magic

## Description

**Magic** is the colloquial name for the interaction of metatergetic energy to create supernatural events.

Magic comes in many forms, including:

* Light Magic: This is a generic kind of magic, practiced by wizards, which prevents its usage in causing death. It is performed by "[transposing] vibrational signals between transcatenated particles to manipulate metatergetic energy in order to change the sequence of natural phenomena to [one's] liking."
* Dark Magic: The sinister kind, practiced by dark wizards
* Witchcraft: A type of magic witches can use which involves powder
* Triskén's magic: A chaotic magic involving both regular dark magic as well as the creation of smoky entities and cursing holy places such as the Temple of Azatalan
* Fae magic: A nigh-omnipotent ability to bend reality
* Demon magic: A magic used by demons which involves the ability to throw fireballs
	+ Immortal Demon magic: A magic used by immortal demons which is equivalent to the Fae's magic except dark in nature
* God magic: A magic used by the gods of an unknown nature; it is known that there are gods that can bestow wizardry and gods which can observe and cement the future.
* Angel magic: Angels have some form of magic which allows them to monitor the magic of wizards and protect places

The most commonly shown form is wizard magic, allegedly given by the gods.

Wizard magic flows through wizards' bodies and wizards expend magic particles every time they cast magic. As magic runs out, health deteriorates to the point of unconsciousness and possibly death, but when wizards stop using magic, it refills as it is ubiquitous in the universe around them. Wizard magic is known to make a *tss-boom* sound when cast, according to Khi, and gives a wet feeling in the part of the body before casting. This is because magic leaves the body through pores as a liquid called Aethelum and vaporizes into gas--this vaporization triggers spells. Magic can be cast from orifices and follicle areas.There are different styles of magic, such as sorcery, which is related to "passive 'household' functions or transformation or even art," or offensive or defensive. Wizard magic is checked by a force called Karma and Karma prevents use of magic for injury and killing, if magic is used to kill or injure the magic becomes dark magic.

Wizard magic is cast usually with a verbal trigger in Phantasian.

Magic can differ from kingdom to kingdom; Neurazian magic includes a wider range of spells that are related to mind reading and illusion.

Magic cannot be used by wizards in Vhestibulium unless the Seraphim allow it to be used, such as in times of mortal danger or magical activity.

## Variants

Spells- Spells are simple magic that affect the world for a short time to make something happen.

Enchantments- Enchantments are just spells that exist attached to an object for an extended period of time, and have an active effect or a passive effect with a special trigger. They do wear off eventually.

Abilities- Abilities are magic that is inherent and does not need a verbal trigger. This is only shown as telepathy for Neurazians.

Amulets- Amulets are a form of object which can cast spells. The only amulet displayed was a gemstone in a necklace.

## Dark Magic

Dark magic is a form of magic utilized by demons, darkins, Trisken, and Dark Wizards. Dark magic is gained by dark wizards if they commit murder using magic, and it also is capable of being given by demonically corruptive forces such as Trisken--such corrupted wizards are referred to as darkins. Dark magic is not checked by Karma. Darkins specialize in this form of magic.

Curses are dark magical spells. Not much is known about them except that it is easy to break minor curses but major curses cannot be broken easily, and dark creatures use curses instead of normal spells. However, the Semideus can break major curses.
