Magic, Psionics and Qi

A latent manipulation of energy sources that permeate many planets and planes within the 5th Universe. Its' power radiates and is drawn from many places, and magical scholars are still debating whether Chaos is the true birthplace for everything or if there is truth to the claims of the Yumeean Church in the Soulsung Records. What is known is that primeval energy has well understood three mediators through which to channel it; Ethos, Lifeforce, and Mana. All mortal bound creatures are born with lifeforce, mana and soul energy, but only those bless by mana are capable of wielding magic regularly and to its' fullest potential. There are two distinct type of people that are blessed by mana, those that are divinely touched, and those charged with arcane power.

## Spell Casting

### General Spells

Basic magic is capable of being cast by anyone and everyone, even those whose paths are not those of divine or arcane magic.

### Divine Magic

Spells that are curated, approved and taught by the faithful of a deity, or the power themselves. Also great concepts that choose or are chosen by followers may inspire the ability to wield mana in divine spells.

#### Negative Magic

The rare of the two polarized types of magic. It it what is used by those shunned by mana to channel the power of those outside the Material Plane.

### Arcane Magic

Spells crafted without the aid of deific powers. These include those made by mortals, outsiders or creatures. They can be recorded and passdown through the ages, and some even become divine spells if they are approved by a deity or other higher power.

#### Anti Magic

Polarized magic, it is caustic to normal magic and is only created within mortal beings; not found anywhere else in the nature of the Material Plane.

## Elder Magiks

Each of these magiks harness power beyond that of normal spells. Because the source of the various energies, and their inherent difficulties in controlling them, normal magic is insufficent. Unless the caster has a connection to the ideology or source of the magik, they can not control or harness its' power or even hope to reach the powerful secrets of the cosmos beyond.

## Neoteric Magiks

Over time the original powers of magic, divine and arcane fractured into the various metaphysical types of Elder Magik. In time, these magiks have begun to evolve, have begun influencing and drawing power from even more abstract and powerful concepts; The Neoteric Magiks. This vast new metaphysical front is divided into four broad categories. Neoteric Magik can only be Ritualized or cast by a single person.

## Supreme Magicks

Rare magickal spells that only extremely powerful casters can cast by themselves that draw from Basic or Elder, Ultra and Neoteric spells and sources in order to power themselves.

## Spellfire

Beyond the power of any magick lies the mastery of mana. A secret that few mortals can achieve and even fewer know of: Spellfire.
