Magic

The power to see, understand, and manipulate aspects of both the outside world and other persons which are normally hidden.

Scholars of magic describe magic as an additional sense, which allows them to "get in touch with the flow of the world". The typical name for this sense is the Void.

In order to invoke magic, no special acts or rituals are needed; They are often used, however, to focus on the Void and ensure that no errors are made. Many spells in many languages exist to achieve exactly that.

Powerful magic users can invoke magic without any such spells, but for the inept magic user the old phrase "No Magic without Spell" still holds true. Especially in the Smithing school, where many users do not even know they are in fact tapping magic, songs have taken the place of spells and allow mastersmiths to put magic in every item they create.

Other schools of magic include Thought, Summoning, Poison, Healing, Illusion, Destruction, Support and many others.

All of these are, however, merely constructions of the four elemental classes of magic: Water Magic, Fire Magic, Earth Magic, Air Magic. All of these are connected to by the Void.
