Magic

A magical circle

**Magic** (**魔法**) is a supernatural ability/force that demons can use. It has its origin in the Dark World and is a mostly unique skill of Demons. The Taimanin Universe tends to have a softer magic system, but still shares elements of a hard magic system.

Magic can not be cast endlessly and one can run out of stamina when using it. Demonic magic can be countered/interrupted by Taima Particles, which are typically used in Ninja Arts.

## Application

Magic can be used for teleportation, attacks, defense, healing, enchantment, brainwashing, creation of Grimoires and so on. Though, it requires some stamina of the user and is limited. All magic can be countered by Taima Particles, which make every weapon and hit far more effective against magic users if enough particles are used.

The secret study of "hell's magic" lead to the creation of new technology for humanity, that researched and combined magic with their own weapons and tech.

Some more powerful magic requires sacrifices, in the form of souls, or comes with high risks for oneself. One danger of demonic magic is also its corrupting influence for humans, that in their pursuit for more strength could demonize themselves completely on purpose. As they turn more unhinged, insanity and narcissism can lead not only to their own doom, but also the death of many others.

### Inheritability/Learning

All demons have, to different degrees, a natural potential to learn magic and become even a Magician/Witch at some point. Some species share universally one magic ability, as an example: Inferno Demons are able to cast fire and Wraith can revive the dead. However, some minor variation in strength or detailed application still can exist. Magic seems just like demons to be individualistic, depending on the user.

Magic is both learned and inherited, children of witches/magicians will also become really skilled in the field of magic as half-witches/magicians. Those with lesser abilities can seek out masters to teach them magic, but must always have some degree of demonic blood. Typically, Humans are not able to use magic unless Demonization takes place (which turns them into demons) or if they are a very recent descendant of a demon. However, if the demonic bloodline lies too much in the past, pure magic has only rarely ever emerged. Taimanin, that are in that position, tend to be unable to use demon magic on top of this, thanks to their Taima Particles interrupt both demonization and demonic skills. While some Humans are also able to use Spiritual Energy, which still is not as powerful as raw magic energy.

Though typically limited to demons, Brain Flayer and God/Devil are also able to use some form of magic and Spiritual Energy,

## History
