Magic (concept)
Magic is generally agreed to be the power of creation and destruction of matter. An ethereal force, most cultures and religions have their own beliefs of where it comes from and how it is drawn, and scientific and theological communities have had little agreement on its origin.
The generally accepted Schools of Magic on The Continent are Living Magic, Dead Magic and Mixed Magic; which are practiced by Living Magi, Dead Magi and Mixed Magi respectively. While most magic fits within these lines, they are simply attempts to explain a nature not understood by humanity's brightest minds, and thus the lines between certain spells and methods of generation are often blurry, and some cultures have forms of magic considered entirely alien to continental minds.
