Magic

**Magic** is the ability to wield and manipulate the natural elements in the Kingdom of Sorcier. Individuals with magic are sent to the Magic Academy in order to control and master their magic, with most of them becoming affiliated with the Ministry of Magic in order to continue studying it. Magic is very important to the kingdom, and nobles and commoners who possess magic will have their statuses elevated if they possess strong or skillful magical abilities.

In the game **Fortune Lover**, magic is present and is used in order to define the love interests. The existence of magic itself is just a plot device used to set the events of the visual novel game in motion. In the sequel, Fortune Lover II, magic is given more focus as the protagonist chooses to study magic as part of her profession.

## Mana

Magic consumes the mana within the individual in order to manifest, but it refills through time and rest. Mana is finite, and every individual contains a fixed mana capacity that can naturally recovers, but can not be increased. Only individuals who have enough mana can use it for magic, while normal people have too little to use it.

## Types of Magic

There are five known magical elements in the world: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Light. Out of all the elements, Earth is the most common type of magic to manifest among magic users, with Light Magic being the rarest and strongest type. There is a sixth magic type, the Dark Magic, that is known as a dangerous and forbidden type of magic. The sixth magic type is hidden from the public due to its nature.

### Dark Magic

Dark magic is considered dangerous, so it’s forbidden, and its very knowledge has been concealed from everyone. The dark magic was forbidden because it requires a ritual in order to acquire it. A human living sacrifice is needed in order to unlock it. Dark magic is normally undetected, and only Light magic users can sense its presence. This magic type is unknown to most people and only the highest ranking people in the country know of it. Unlike the main 5 magic types, when mana is used to summon Dark Arts, the mana goes down and never recovers.

The strength of the dark magic depends on the magical aptitude of the castor. People who have strong magic are typically immune to dark magic, as long as the castor is someone weaker.

## Magic Tools

Magic tools are items created in the Magic Tools Laboratory in the Ministry of Magic. These are the main subject of research of Lana Smith. The goal of magic tools is to grant the blessing of Magic onto tools and objects. They are typically used to help magic users compensate for their lack of offensive powers. Most tools are still in the prototype phase, but the Department has created a warehouse filled with those that do work.

Since magic tool aren't elaborated on much yet, it can be assumed that most magic tools can only be used by users of the same magic type as the tool itself.

### Created Magic Tools

These magic tools are created by the Magic Tools Laboratory.

* Alexander the Bear - a magic tool that is used to find people. The user must think of something very important to the missing individual, and the bear will use it to find that person. This magic tool was created by Lana, based on a stuff toy bear that she fell in love with in a town. The bear runs off of Dark Magic, and can track people using memories it analyzes (linked the person's magic) from items from the missing person. It needs to constantly be shown items in intervals for it to work. It cannot track down people with low magic aptitudes (such as Katarina and a young baroness).

## Familiars

Familiars are creatures that are crafted from magic. The existence of familiars is one of the hidden secrets of magic by the Ministry that only high officials are aware of, alongside the existence of Dark Magic.

In creating a familiar of darkness, a human sacrifice is needed as a source of mana for the beast in order for it to manifest. Before familiars can manifest into magical creatures, they first take the form of a black mass of mist in its incubation form. The power of the familiar can be influenced by other sources, such as a magic tool. In most instances, people who possess familiars are eventually consumed by darkness and would lose their minds after some amount of time.

### Known Familiars

* Pochi - This familiar takes the form of a small dog that can hide in the magic user's shadow. It can also take the form of a giant black beast. The familiar was originally created by Sarah, and was extracted from Keith's life force. It manifested through a pocket mirror magic tool that is attuned to Dark Magic. This familiar is created by Sarah, but is owned by Katarina Claes.
* Dragon - This familiar takes the form of a giant black dragon. The familiar was originally created by Sarah, and was extracted from a male villager's life force. This familiar is created by Sarah.
