Magic is the manipulation of mana.
Description[]
Magic is divided amongst different systems, individuals with the aptitude for magic learn a new spell of the magic system that they have the highest compatibility with automatically whenever they reach a certain level. However, they will only learn higher tier spells of the same magic system that they have the highest compatibility for this way and can only learn spells from other systems through hard work and memorization.
Having a bad affinity with a magic system can limit the user to only half the power that someone who's at the same Level and has a good affinity with this magic system can bring out when casting from this magic system. A bad affinity can even prevent someone from being able to use it at all.
Spells are divided amongst 10 levels/tiers/ranks, with the first-tier being the weakest all the way going up to the tenth-tier which is the strongest. Even by only being able to handle the lowest first-tier magic, it's easy to kill several people at the same time, while with a fifth-tier spell, even burning an entire city is possible.
Usage[]
Generally speaking, there are three steps that must be completed to successfully invoke magic.
The first is the chanting of the [Spell] to interfere with the laws of the world.
Hobgoblins using and learning magic.
Second, [Internal Mana Control] to collect the necessary amount of magical power inside the body.
And lastly, [External Mana Operation] to control the formation of the magic itself in the environment using the internal magical power outside the body - that is, releasing the magical power into the air, then constructing the type and shape of the magic.
Because the third part, [External Mana Operation] is several times more difficult than the other two parts, it is typical to use a casting assists such as skills, jobs, blessings or equipment like a magic staff when casting a spell.
