Magic

Magic is the biological ability to generate energy outside of one's body. Magic is made up of six elements which can change depending on the type. These types are commonly referred to as simply Light or Dark magic. From there, they can be further narrowed down by the specific user and what they decide to do with it. There are no incantations for spells, but some do have a cast time due to how much mana (an internal energy source), they need to cast.

Magic can be detected by other magic users if they are trained to do so, but only someone with an affinity for detection can decipher the specific element like Ayllene Atalanta. While most are born with only one type, those born with balance can perform them all. Regardless of the element, mana is what is used to cast spells and acts as a resource to allow usage. If you are not born with mana, you will be unable to cast.

Generally, magic elements remain in these categories, and are only classified as a new type if it can be widely used. This does not mean that these are the only classifications since individuals can sometimes create their own unique ones (such as Autumn Brood). The rules, limitation, and abilities of each element can be stretched as time goes on and more is found out about them.

Usage
Most Wizards use Light Magic and prefer to study in groups to ensure that there is regulation. They named their magic elements in a very literal way, contrasting the Sorcerers. Light magic relies heavily on both your magic, your knowledge of your school, and the world around you. Often times, a user's magic will be weaker if they are in an opposing environment. Light magic cannot be used if a caster's mana is used to depletion. It will return over time and allow them to cast again, but their detection level will determine how much they can utilize spells. Wizards see this as the only correct way to use magic without crossing a moral line, as magic is dangerous to both the user and others.

Sorcerers are known for using Dark Magic and believe in learning from one master who will teach you their own beliefs. The magic elements they used were named based on both emotion and are meant to mirror the Wizard spells. Unlike Wizards, Sorcerers can use Dark magic to pull from their own emotions as if it was another mana pool. In some cases, a user will even draw from their own life force, but it is beyond risky as there is no way to tell how much will be taken. Sorcerers believe that no matter what form of magic you use, you must choose a path in life, and remain focused on bettering yourself. So, despite being called 'Dark', it truly depends on the user.
