### Overview

Magic is the art of using supernatural power for a multitude of means, typically in the form of techniques. These techniques can vary wildly in classifications, some ranging from passive harmless magic to combat-oriented magic. Using magic can be done by many means, most commonly through spells. Magic, if the user themselves are not able to withstand it, can be imbued into objects. If the user naturally possesses a form of magical power, they can use it without practicing spells.

### Mana

Mana is the arcane force that is generated by the universe itself. It's the type of supernatural energy that can be twisted into different forms of magic. As mana is the form of energy that permeates the universe itself, it can be found anywhere; in solids, liquids, the air, and even living things. Individuals who are able to manifest and manipulate mana freely with their minds are known as 'Naturals' or 'Mana Sensitive'.

### Methods of Magic

#### Spells

Casting spells are the most common and easiest method of using magical power for those who possess no magical natural abilities. Spells typically come in the form of sigils (circles with runic inscriptions) with varying characteristics and colors, depending on the type of magic being used. Spells can be learned from spell-books or by other sorcerers.

#### Object-Imbued

If the user is not able to withstand a specific type of magic, they can imbue that magic into an object, allowing them to take the strain that individuals cannot. This is known as 'Object-Imbued', another easy method of using considerably powerful magic but not so common to come by. Speaking of which, there are certain instances where the individual is able to withstand the usage of powerful magic, usually done by training their physical body.

#### Natural (Mana Sensitivity)

Individuals with a unique connection to mana, being able to manifest and manipulate it freely with their minds, are known as 'Naturals' or 'Mana Sensitive'. This somewhat happens to be the rarest method of magic an individual could ever find but is most common among certain races, such as enderkins, who are capable of teleportation. To obtain magical natural abilities, one must be born from either another natural or harboring enough mana energy.
