신이 영혼의 힘을 이용해 에테르에서 창조의 원소인 대지, 불, 물, 공기의 원소를 분리했고, 이를 통해 세계를 창조했다. 창조한 것들의 일부에는 생명이 깃들었고, 생명에는 마법적인 힘이 깃들게 되었다. 모든 생명은 영혼과 창조의 원소가 깃들었고, 몇몇 존재들은 다른 존재들에 비해 강한 영혼이 주어졌다.
영혼은 신성에 의해 관찰, 전달, 조작이 가능하고, 이것이 신성 마법이라고 불리는 것의 기초이다. 신성 마법은 영혼을 이용해 원소를 조작하고 힘을 자연계로 끌어올 수 있다.
어둠의 군주의 기원에 대한 증거인 악마의 마법 또한 영혼 마법의 일종으로, 신성 마법과 같은 역학, 본질, 원소로 구성되어 있다. 하지만 그 외에는 큰 차이가 있는데, 악마의 마법은 신을 능가하고, 더 크고, 더 위대하고, 더 세부적이며, 더 인상적이고 싶은 욕망에서 비롯된 마법이며 이기적인 힘이다, 즉, 악마의 마법은 원소를 조작하기 위해 영혼을 사용하고, 자연계로부터 힘을 끌어내는 경향이 있다.
The color of magic
What we DO know for sure is that when this world of Pax Dei was made, spirit power was used to extract the elements of creation, earth, water, air, and fire, from the ether and manipulate them to make everything we see today. We also know that the Divine gave spirit to some of the things that were made and thereby sparked life, a magical force in itself, unique to creation. This also means that everything that lives has within it an element of spirit, as well as the elements of creation. It should be noted that some beings were gifted a stronger spirit than others.
This spirit element can be observed, communicated to, and manipulated by the Divine, and this is the basis of what is called Divine magic. I.e., Divine magic uses spirit to manipulate the elements of creation and tends to bring energy into the natural world. Likewise and as a testimony to the origins of the Dark Lord, demonic magic is also spirit magic, driven by the same mechanics, nature, and elements as Divine magic.
But that is where all comparison ends. This type of magic originates in the desire to outdo the Divine, and be larger, greater, more detailed, and more impressive. Demonic magic is also a selfish force. I.e., Demonic magic uses spirit to manipulate the elements of creation and tends to draw energy from the natural world.
The origins of the other types of magic that are known will not be revealed here, but give them a short mention:
Druidic magic uses life force to manipulate the elements of creation. Powerful as it may be, it does not exist outside the natural or extra natural realms. Another important bit… as it does not employ spirit, it is not detectable either by the Divine or the demonic.
Shamanic magic uses spirit beings within the natural world to manipulate lifeforce directly. It has no direct effect on the elements of creation. As one might expect, this type of magic does not go unnoticed among the supernatural powers.
There may still be other shades of magic out there, but more about that later.
