## Basics of Magic

Things are made of mana, structured in a particular form.

Mana has memory of it's forms, and will gradually seek to return to a given form if manipulated, or, if unable to, will break down into raw mana.

Mana can be transformed and structured, from one form, or combined with other forms of mana to create more complex structures with varying degrees of stability.

Mana is directly invoked through the soul, but can be patterened and manipulated with intent in written form or in mechanical creations when proper materials that a particular form of mana has affinity for are used.

# Naturalism

Harnessing and conjuring natural forms of energy, based on the conception of the four primary elemental forms of structured mana. Equal parts theory and will.

### Geokinesis

### Pyrokinesis

### Hydrokinesis

### Aerokinesis

# Eruterica

The art-science of applying emotion to the most basic units of mana and structuring them into complex forms. Distantly related to naturalism, but reliant on imbuing mana with a memory of emotion combined with it's form as a basic aspect; akin to giving a star anger issues to unleash devastation, or imbuing said star with courage to inspire others.

### Chaos

The order of the world is so drull. Liven it up with unpredictability and destruction.

# Invocatia

The esoteric art of manifesting divine energy through belief, dogma, and willpower.

The gods of the world once held great power, and the concepts they embodied are capable of being channeled to draw a tiny fragment of their power into the form of a mortal through emotion and belief in those concepts and higher power, attracting that divinely aspected energy into an avatar of faith.

Naturally, not all divinities are considered 'good'.

### Aegis

Shield the unworthy and worthy alike; balm the pains of the world.

### Invictum

Rain retribution upon the blasphemer; purify all that has been despoiled.

# Alchemae

Based on the transmutation and transformation of natural mana and the conjuration of unnatural forms of mana through stripping mana's natural form and memorized form away and forcefully recombining it into a desired form. Considered unnatural and dangerous due to upsetting the natural balance of the world, where overusage can result in the inversion of normality, among other issues.

### Transmutation

Tear apart the world before you and reshape it to your image.

### Conjuration

Summon forth the primordial elements and utilize them to unleash terrible power.
