Magic

Everything is magic!

Introduction to Magic

Magic is the fundamental energy of the Aetherbound Universe.

The source of magic is the sun, sunlight filters through magic zones in the world and crystalises into Gemstones.

People, creaturess and nature absorb ambient magic and draw it into their own bodies. They can use this Mana to cast Spells.

People and creatures have a natural magical ability or manifestation, this refers to the way they naturally express magic and use Mana. This is reffered to as the Spirit.

Ren manifest a Heart Mark over their hearts which indicates the Affinity and Method of their Spirit.

When Spellcasting, Ren are only able to cast Spells that match the Affinity and Method of their mark.

Living creatures naturally use Mana to keep themselves alive, such as to resist injury, sickness or even help breath under water. This Mana is known as Heart Power or HP.

Most creatures cannot draw on their HP to cast Spells, instead the mana used for Spellcasting is refered to as Stomach Power or SP.

While everything is magic, a person's mind and personality is controlled by another type of energy, known as the Soul, this energy is what alows mana to be influenced. As a person uses magic they can strain their mind and personality, this is reffered to as Mind Power or MP.

People can Attune at Temples or other locations of magical power to acquire additional Affinity Marks, but to cast spells using these, they need to use Mana from Gemstones.

People can also cast spells using Methods outside of their Heart Mark, but need to use Mana from Gemstones to do so.
