{{#set:Information=Theme}}Magic is a force that exists in all worlds. It is mostly a neutral force that can be wielded in a variety of ways. While this force is usually embodied in different forms depending on the world, magic is still essentially the force that makes it all run. When one uses magic, they essentially use a method to tap into this force

Overall, most magic users are mages and use magic to take command of a particular element for a brief moment. An example of this is when one uses a fire spell to cast a fireball attack or when one uses a cure spell in order to briefly speed up a healing process. This is the most common type of magic.

= Sorcerers =
Sorcerers are magic users who can use magical power to bend the laws of the world around them. Examples of such things are giving life to inanimate objects and creating impossibilities. These are rare and few in between, and it is a magic that is rarely used for good. Malificent is one of the most well-known Sorcerers, along with a man named Merlin. Often, there is a counterpart to each - but there where there are not, worlds often find themselves unbalanced towards darkness.

= Magic Methods =
There are many methods attaining magic as well. In some worlds, natural magic only came to some of those born with this gift, such as the Black Mages from {{#switchtablink:Final_Fantasy_9|FF9|Integrated}}, or the Sorceress from {{#switchtablink:Final_Fantasy_8|FF8|Integrated}}. But often in those worlds, humans would find a way to reach into this dominion - such as Quasi-Magic, Materia, or even going so far as to Crystallize Espers. In this setting, the source of origin (series/game) defines whether or not someone is innately capable of magic or not. However, with enough resources, the difference between innate magical power and quasi-magic is negligible. But to meet the power of a true Sorcerer is neigh-impossible.

 Many who call themselves 'Sorcerers' will fall under this category. These individuals can cast powerful spells and enchantments, but are usually still bound by certain limitations. They often have certain reserves on their magical strength, which allows their powers to only be pushed to a certain extent.

 There is no special application required, and no specific restrictions on Common Sorcery abilities, and they will largely be handled on a case-by-case basis during application. The more powerful the ability, the more restrictions are likely to come with it. Most characters who have these abilities would not be considered a 'Sorcerer'. Any of these powers are approved at the time of character creation, and expanding/increasing powers would require a +request to Staff and likely a tinyplot.

-There are many types of magic users, including your traditional mages/wizards as well as martial artists and fighters who utilize elemental abilities while fighting. Magic comes in many forms, usually aligned with the traditional elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Ice, Light, Dark, etc. An example of some common magic would be the ability to cast a fireball at an enemy, or using curative magic to speed the healing process.

In general, if a spell/attack uses any sort of general elemental power, it likely falls under 'common magic'. A few tread the line, such as transformation spells like 'Pig', 'Mini', and 'Frog', but for the sake of ease, these are grouped into this category as well.

-The ability to perform magic beyond the normal realm of elemental magic does exist in some themes, usually in the form of certain magical scrolls or tomes that allow for some more unusual magic. Some may be combat, some non-combat. Any magic of this type must be approved by staff at application time, or through the use of +request.
+Characters who may come from non-magical worlds may be able to develop magical abilities after the fall of their world through tinyplot or training. After a time, the difference between innate magical ability and abilities that are trained becomes negligible. However, characters will generally not be able to 'train' into the role of a 'Sorcerer'.
