Magic

Magic is a general term for the manipulation of elemental energies inherent to the 9 realms. The 2 principle energies are the powers of Order and Chaos, and all forms of magic are derived from a varying amount of Chaos. While magic is used by mages, sorcerers, priests, and valas, it is only able to be used after years of training. In its simplest form, magic is used in the form of combat spells, e.g. conjuring a fireball or summoning a lightning bolt, and it is advised among magic practitioners to not "practice magic on anything you wouldn't mind obliterating"

Circles of magic
Magic is divided into different circles, based on the element that it manipulates

Circle of Arcane
Arcane magic is considered to be the most "pure" form of magic, since it is closest to pure Chaos, and not related to any earthly element. Due to it's destructive nature, it has little usage outside of combat spells.

Circle of Fire
Fire magic is used

Elf Magic
Elf magic is a type of magic originating from the Light Elves. Many of the spells included in this circle involve healing, although some of them are used for fighting the undead

Necromancy
Necromancy is a type of magic forbidden by nearly all civilized societies. It was brought by the Narhost, and involves the reanimation of dead bodies by bending them to the necromancer's will, commonly in the creation of Draugar.

Mana
All magic is cast by focusing one's consciousness into elemental manipulation. However, Mana is the force that connects one's will to the elemental energies, and it depletes as magical spells are cast. The amount of mana one possesses can be improved however, but it is only through studying and meditation.
