Magic is the means through which the world can be influenced by the manipulation of forms of energies. Most forms of magic can be learned by any individual possessing of the intellect and interest, though a few forms are limited by natural talent. However, magic is often regarded with fear and apprehension by the majority of Aserrans, as it can be dangerous in the wrong hands—be it due to malicious intent born of egotism or simple under-education in its use. A give and take is required for the use of magic, a sacrifice of energy in exchange for the desired effect, and depending on the source of this energy, it can be taxing on the wielder.

Magic Energies
The energy used in magic can come from several sources, and forms of magic are divided based on the energy they utilize.
Mana Based
Mana based magic uses the natural energy of the world to fuel spells. Using this energy exhausts the caster the least, but can cause imbalance in the natural world, making flora and fauna wither as their life is sucked away.
Sorcery is the only form of mana-based magic.
Soul Based
This magic takes energy directly from the caster’s expendable spiritual energy from their soul to fuel their spells. This is the most personally dangerous form of energy to use because it takes longer to replenish the energy spent.
Major Systems
Minor Systems and Oddities
Psychic/Mental Based
This magic uses mental focus to bring about the desired effects from spells and special abilities. This is the most difficult to use, especially in hectic or combat situations, due to the intense focus needed to utilize it.
