Magic is a supernatural force that allows an individual to perform amazing feats.[1]

Overview

Magic is the mystical art of manipulating primordial energies to createa variety of effects that violate the laws of nature.[2]

Magical effects are known as "spells", which is often accompained by an incantion, although advanced magic users do not require incantations.[3] A well cast spell will achieve a predeterminated supernatural effect,as well manifestation such as light or sparks.

Spells can also allow the user to mimicry or grant themselves abilities similar to those of metahumans- such as levitation, teleportation and others. These mimicred powers can be accessed at any moment by the user without spell-casting or use of tokens

Certain objects can be imbued with mystical properties, such as tokens, which can be used to store magic or enhance the powers of the magic user. Likewise, beings such as demons, angels and eldritch fiends can provide mystical power to magic users increase their magic greatly.

History

The exact origins of magic are known nor is it known when humans started to harness the mystical energies consciously. Demons and Angels are the oldest supernatural beings in the universe, and they once waged a war which the demons lost and were cast out of Heaven.

Human attitudes towards magic seems to vary between seeing it as useful, as in the case of Camelot, or great hostility. Female magic users or innocent women suspected of practising magic can run the risk of being burned alive by angry mobs.[4]

In the present day, use of magic has fallen to such degree that most people are skeptical of its existance.

Powers and abilities

Powers

  • Spellcasting: The basic power of magic, which allows the user to achieve anything as long as the spell is properly cast. It's unknown though possible that there's limits to what a single spell can achieve and the greater the goal the more primordial energies must be harnessed.
    • Light magic: Light magic is utilized for benevolent purposes; as it draws it's power from hope and other positive emotions.
    • Dark magic: Dark magic is utilized for malevolent purposes; as it draws it's power from fear and other negative emotions.
  • Power Mimicry: Advanced magic users can mimicry the powers of metahumans, allowing them to use such abilities instantaneously without the need to cast spell. Only magic users empowered by a token or supernatural being can use this power.
  • Ressurection: Magic is the only way to "directly" bring a person back to life without time manipulation or rewritting reality. However magical ressurections come with consequences such as an unnatural bloodlust or, if the body has decomposed long enough, the person being brought back soulless.
    • Ensoulment: Properly used, magic can remove, restore or contain souls.
  • Time travel: Magic users can travel through time without using a time machine or the Speed Force.
