6. #6Magicconstantselective

   Keys: water, lightning, mana, earth, fire, dark, mind, spirit, air, light, ice, body, magick, time, magic, magicka, space

   Magic is a multipart mechanism. All sentient beings have a soul. Mana is stored in the mana pool within the soul, but it must first be unlocked by undergoing an awakening. Mana flows down the soul cord, into the mind, down the spine and then out of the body, materializing as the kind of magic that the mage is focusing on. This process has 3 bottlenecks, the mana pool, the soul cord, and the body. The mana pool is the reservoir of mana that a person has access to. It can be thought of as a pond within the soul. The soul cord initially cannot conduct much mana, meaning that spells will be weak. It takes time and practice. Finally the body. One's body has a certain resistance to magic, but mana flow can damage tissue. Experienced mages are able to carefully control the flow of mana, but novice mages can often over exert their bodies and experience mana burn. The skin takes on a cracked appearance, with mana leeching out of the wound. It is rarely fatal, but it is extremely painful. Mana can also be exchanged between two mages. There are 14 Fields of magic:

   • Fire
     • Fire magic is about letting the mana flow through you as heat. Fire is raw and powerful.
   • Ice
     • Ice magic sucks in heat, leaving the air it touches barren and cold
   • Earth
     • Earth magic involves manipulating stone and metal. The inorganic substance of the world
   • Air
     • Air magic is flowing and free, yet with enough force it can buffet even the sturdiest.
   • Water
     • Water also flows, but it flows headstrong. Little can stand in its way when it gets moving.
   • Lightning
     • Lightning is raw. Rawer than fire. It is letting the raw fury of nature flow through you, and controlling it.
   • Mind
     • Mind is about influence, often subtle. The mind is a fickle and unreliable thing however. It can be about influencing joy, or fear.
   • Spirit
     • Spirit is a very poorly understood branch of magic. Rather than flowing through your body, spirit magic stays within the realm of the soul.
   • Body
     • Body magic allows a user to transmogrify their own body. Sometimes subtle, like making one stronger, or to heal wounds. Rarely however, some users can turn into animals. This is extremely taxing however, and most can only do it for a few minutes before running out of mana.
   • Time
     • No one has ever 'mastered' time magic, but it, with high cost to one's mana and psyche, allows one to speed or slow the flow of time locally.
   • Space
     • Space allows one to bend two points in space closer or farther. It can be used to cross miles in a single step, or to make a sword reach one hundred feet.
   • Light
     • Light is about illumination.
   • Dark
     • Dark is not merely about light. It is a vacuum. It consumes energy, it is a pit of magical nothing.
   • Magicka
     • The most primal of all magic. Raw and unrefined.
