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 magic 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]
Magic Transformation
Though not strictly an act of transformation[3], this term refers to the act of applying magic onto your body in a way that alters or affects your body in some manner. When using transformation magic, a mage's body emits a large amount of magic light. There are several types of transformation magic a mage might make use of.
- Barrier Jacket, magic that allows a mage to be dressed in protective gear.[3]
- Power Mode, a modern form of magic that allows a mage to change their body to that of an older or slightly younger version of themselves, also referred to as Adult Mode.[4]
- Unison, a mage can merge their linker core with a unison device to gain additional strength and skills, including elemental affinity to their magic.
