Magic

**Magic** is a very important and prominent part of the V for Ventura universe, coming typically from the soul of the user it can be used for just about anything the user wishes. Magic can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes and is said to be as old as time itself, and based on the fact the three gods use magic as well, it can be assumed this is at least somewhat true. Magic comes in dozens of forms, all of which are listed below, and it is likely the list is incomplete because not all magic has been discovered.

## Types of Magic

* **Soul Magic:** Soul Magic is the most common form of magic throughout the V for Ventura multiverse and as such is the most widespread, with almost any creature being able to use it to some capacity. Soul Magic comes directly from the user's soul and as such it's power and usage is completely dependant on the user. Due to being widespread it is common for children to experiment with it from a young age, leading to magic academies to be created to help them learn how to control it. Soul Magic is typically seen as formless and takes on the color of the user's soul, those who are creative can use it to their full potential. It is said that those who hold red souls have more powerful magic than their brethren. See: Souls for more info

* **Elemental Magic:** Elemental Magic is another common version of magic throughout the many kingdoms of the V for Ventura multiverse. Drawing energy from the world around them, those who utilize elemental magic can form all kinds of unique variants useful for their own things. Due to being quite widespread, Spelldorado and other so-called "magic cities" teach Elemental Magic in their schools alongside Soul Magic. Elemental Magic also has a million uses hence why many people are taught how to use it.
	+ **Fire Manipulation:**  Oftentimes referred to as "*Pyrokinesis*", Fire Manipulation is the most common variant of Elemental Magic. By igniting the oxygen in the air, the user can control the flames that follow. The fire can shift in it's amount and the heat it gives off depending on how much power the user wishes to use. The fire is often used to cook, create bonfires or campfires and light chimneys and hearths during colder winter months. Fire Manipulation is one of the oldest variants of magic and is commonly associated with Drakaniens.

Another variant of Dark Magic is known as Decay Magic, where the user can slowly deteriorate and disintegrate the area around them or around another entity to disfigure or even kill it, the extent to which this magic can be used is unknown, but it can be very dangerous.

* **Life Magic:** Life Magic is a highly coveted magic used by a very small number of people and is separated into a few schools of magic, with the three known variants being: Healing, Absorption and Plant Life. Healing Magic has the user draw upon their life force to heal the wounds of another, while Absorption Magic has the user drain the life force of another to heal themselves. Plant Life magic subsists with the user's ability to hold control over all forms of plant life, although this ability can be adapted for combat rather than support capabilities.
