M-Type

These refer to the inherent categories and groups of latent magical abilities possessed by individual human beings discovered roughly 20 years ago. It was discovered and realized further that this latent magical ability in all human people theoretically is an untapped and previously hidden and unattainable ability, potentially having manifested sometime within the last 1000 years of human evolution.

These abilities would have been useless to the larger part of humanity and undiscovered to this day, if the research and development of the Magic Enhancers at MirTech had not come along to prove this theory as fact and also provide a method with which to make it manifest.

Some choose never to know or want to use their M-Types throughout their entire lives which is as easy as never buying or acquiring a Magic Enhancer in order to learn it. On the other hand some can be trained to become stronger through immense amounts of practice or use, even to the point of being able to use Magic without a Magic Enhancer after training with one for years of repeated use. The highest level of continued usage and mastery of magical abilities, which only a handful of people in the entire world can attain, makes them capable of breaking the celing of their regular magical potential and entering a state known as Invoked Mode.

M-Types are categorized, mainly by two distinctions, those of the Element category and those of the Force category.

**Element Category**

M-Types that generate or control naturally occurring physical elements found in the world. Element M-Types include Fire, Water, Solar, Lunar, Wind, Metal, ect.

They can either generate these elements themselves by manifesting it, such as a fire user generating fire, flames, heat, steam or the ability to reach heated temperatures, create combustible explosions with fire, and by mastering and getting used to the M-Type for long periods of time, summon or control naturally occurring fire, or drastically reduce their own ability to be damaged by that element. Such applies the same to other users of Elemental M-Types.

**Force Category**

M-Types that create or manipulate some type of force or energy, whether it's naturally occurring, scientific, mental or spiritual. Force M-Types include Darkness, Light, Aura, Gravity, Polarity, Empathic, Chaos, ect.

They have various degrees of influence over natural forces, metaphysical concepts and varying kinds of energy. Compared to Element M-Types, Force M-Types require vaster amounts of inherent potential, or focused effort and/or extensive training and practice to master, if they aren't innately gifted in it's potential on a prodigal level to begin with.

There is also far more interest within certain scientific or philosophical communities in unraveling the mysteries of, or analyzing and truly understanding what makes Force types possible, and researching the depths to which they can be applied. Compared to the somewhat more straight-forward idea of Element M-Types, more about Force M-Types are being researched and learned about every day.

As an aside, while M-Types and their variety of powers and effects grows higher every day, there has been a good amount of talk and conversation regarding the fact that not a single recorded use of an M-Type that involves time or the ability of any kind to move forward or backwards through it has ever been documented or observed, as well as the implications of what this could mean.
