Magic is the practice of utilizing certain universal energies and extra-dimensional forces whose nature is beyond the scope of the technologically-oriented science of all known sentient races. It is often used to simulate other powers, such as reality warping, mind control and elemental attacks. Sources of Magical Power: Personal Energies - The mental and spiritual powers that mystics and sorcerers develop for themselves (psionics, chi-manipulation, astral projection, thought-casting, etc.) Ambient Magical Energy of the Universe - Magicians can tap this power for many effects, such as teleportation and energy bolts. By definition, this is derived from gods and god like beings. These generally involves actual casting of spells and may be limited to the main dimension learned and may not work in others. Extradimensional Magical Energy - powers gained through the tapping of extra-dimensional energy and by invoking entities or objects of power existing in mystical dimensions, with different physical and magical laws, tangential to our own. Unlike the first two, the entities invoked generally have a say in how or if the power is used, it also is the one with the least amount of isolation need since the power is more focused and less likely to kill you by mistake Divine Sources- same as the last one but more focused, using known gods, gods you know will do what you ask, and you have a personal relationship with (as in worship) Items - Magic may also come in the form of items imbued with power. These are often created by powerful sorcerors and exter-dimensional entities and vary in function and power. Emotions -Emotions play a big role in magic from acting like fuel to the effect of your magic, in magic nothing is as powerful as emotions, strong feelings will help amp up spells and weak ones will not help, if your emotions is running wild so will your magic. emotions also acts as food for some races of magical beings, and being near that emotion will help them be fed (like Erotes they feed of love, without making love get any weaker). dark emotions is in the core of all dark magic, this is why dark is easy, this is why it corrupts, you give yourself over to the easy and dark emotions Isolation magic is more or less the power to manipulate the raw energies of nature, and as such you need isolation in some form, with magic isolation comes in the form of words, instruments anything that will not make the energies get to close to you (ergo Latin a dead language is perfect since you don't speak Latin in your day to day life, even gibberish works, just as long as you think the gibberish has a meaning that you can tie the energies to and make it do what you think it means), it is the isolation, drive behind the magic and feelings that is the mean reason why magic is diffrent from place to place since people use diffrent isolation, withno isolation being better or worse then others (if you have the keep away from yourself part down). Bad isolation means the raw energies of the spell hits you not the target, you get harmed, not the target. Focus a focus is an item that helps you focus your magi, this is useful for those who go by raw energy not tact, quantity instead of quality. focuses come in many forms from wands, to rings, to staffs to what ever,just aslong as you can focus your energies in to it and have it help your magic effect Different kinds of magic due to how complex and wide magic is there is maaaany kinds of magic, many tied to colture, and stuff like that, almost all early tribes who dabbled in magic gained a diffrent result ad over the years it has changed, there is not much to be said but due to this part your person can have magic that is one of a kind to them or a group share the same kind of magic, how one group might gain magic from using runes, while a different get them from using Latin, and a different by drumming on a shaman drum, and even more from tossing stuff in to a fire. the most important part about magic is simply this, while there is things that most kinds of magic share it does not mean they all look and act the same, a skilled magical being can even sense the diffrent kinds of magic Spells - in magic spells play a big role, spells come in all shapes and forms, and a skilled mage can learn all kinds of spells, spells can be in any language, and can be anything from a word to a long chant, it can be a song played on a guitar, a dance move, you name it aslong as it is your way of channeling your will in to the energy and keeping it isolated from yourself. spells drawing on magic from beings might need you to speak a language the being speaks since they grant you the energy, you dont draw it in, as such one of the more common spells is "the wings of Baldr" a spell drawing on Baldr Love's energies, it grants you wings to fly on, the wings reflects your inner being and is one of a kind per person, the wings of Baldr is a rather common spell since there is no way to piss him off to the point he wont help you get the wings. with all this said you can make up your own magic but you will soon find that isolation, will and where you get your energies from will fit this topic information, since isolation can be nothing (if your person can handle it) but most often when you think magic you think spells, potions (just a diffrent kind of spell and isolation, this time in the form of a brew) active powers (spell in the form of movement) and stuff like that Edited by baldr, Jul 15 2012, 01:06 AM.
