Magic

Harnessing a form of aether energy known as 'Mana' by using rituals, symbols, actions, gestures, language, etc., to exploit supernatural forces by to varying degrees, with only their skill, personal power-level, aptitude, imagination/knowledge, and/or morality to define the borders. Given the flexibility of magic, characters have essentially unlimited possibilities for what to do. Magic consumes amounts of the user's life-force/spirit energy depending on the level of effect, duration, and range of the spell.

Arcane "Arc" Magic
The rarest form of magic. The word “arcane” means understood by very few. Arcane magic are powerful abilities or spells that can only be innately possessed, making it impossible for beings to learn or acquire it.

Echelon Magic
Magic that can be attained through training, experience, or raw aptitude. Echelon magic can be learned and acquired by any living being, however, most do not have the necessary knowledge and aptitude (natural ability) to do so. Drakni, a common race in Exsora, have naturally higher aptitude due to their involvement with magic through evolving. Echelon magic consists of spells categorized by tier; Low, Mid, High, Top, and God. Full list of spells.

Elemental Magic
The user, also known as an Elementist, can draw upon the physical forces of the natural world, allowing them to create/control energy, constructs, creatures, and the properties of a certain aspect of nature. Each aspect of nature is exclusive to only one being. There are dozens of elementists scattered around New Terra, most of them lacking the awareness of their ability, enslaved or killed.
