Magic (魔法 mahō) is a general term for anything involving the manipulation of Mana, such as creating and using Spells. Though not equated to conventional science, magic still adheres to a specific set of rules and limitations. Someone who specializes in Magic is typically called a mage, most of whom tend to wield a device to assist them. When using magic, a magical light is emitted. Said light differs in colour from person to person.[1]
Magic Categories
Magic actions can be roughly divided into three categories.[2]
- Changing Magic, involving changing the nature or shape of a substance.
- Movement Magic, involving the physical manipulation of an object or its molecules.
- Dazzle Magic, involving manipulation of a person's mind or soul.
Magic Programming
The creation of a spell involves programming. This is done by having a Mage combine the three magic categories to reach a desired effect and then execute the program itself by using their own Mana. Because of the complicated nature of using Magic most Mages wield a device that serves as a hard disk for spells, allowing them to more freely use Spells.[2]
