Magic is the term for an energy that is used across the universe.
Workings[]
Magic is derived from Celestial Energy on a plane called the Weave, managed by the Abstract Dracien. However, Holy and Unholy magic are not from the Weave, but rather, from another plane known as the Flow, which carries both Holy and Unholy energy. In order to use the Flow, mortals and non-Holy/non-Unholy beings must first access the Weave to tap into the Flow. From here, magic such as White Magic and Black Magic are derived from Holy and Unholy energy respectively. However, Black and White Magic are weaker than their purer counterparts. Many other forms of magic are derived from Black and White Magic, but others draw energy from other sources alongside the Weave, sometimes containing minuscule traces of Abstract Energy. Some species, such as Elementals and golems, naturally carry a strong link to the Weave within them, and other species, such as Humans, simply have the potential to tap into the Weave. Due to magic being derived from Celestial Energy, Anti-Celestial technology can destroy magic, although other forms of energy coupled with magic, such as Holy and Unholy Energy, may survive the destruction, although they often disperse or violently discharge. Damage to the Weave will disable magic in certain areas. Ironically, anti-magic is derived from magic itself, used to scatter surrounding energies enough to nullify spells. Magic used by mortals can take decades or even lifetimes to become proficient in, which is what made it less reliable to use at a large scale than technology.
