Magic

Magic is the arcane energy that originates from the Void, a parallel dimension. Those who practice magic, commonly known as spellcasters, are typically experts who can grasp and manipulate the energy. Those who do not possess an innate connection to the Void can harness the arcane energy in a simpler way by drawing upon the earth, water, fire, and air.

Types

 * Curses - Curses are a manifestation of magic that produces a specific effect on its desired target(s). While the majority of known curses are placed onto individuals by others, it is known to those who study magic that one can curse themselves intentionally or unintentionally.


 * Shapeshifting - The changing of one's shape requires a large amount of power in order to utilize this ability. More powerful creatures (dragons, gods, etc) have this innate skill, while mortals require a blessing or innate power of their own to do so.


 * Portals. When one approaches the entrance of a portal, the magical energy scans them, determining whether or not they have access to it. However, the most common portals allow access from anyone capable of reaching them in time.
