	===Mana-based===		===Mana-based===
	Mana refers to the magical energy within one's body. For all intents and purposes, ~~its~~ is essentially a measure of someone's internal magical capabilities without the use of external objects. While it is considered a renewable source of magic, attempting to use mana beyond one's own physical limits can cause serious bodily harm. It takes years of training to broaden someone's upper limit of how much magic they're able to use within a certain period of time.		Mana refers to the magical energy within one's body.

	===Spellbook-based===		===Spellbook-based===
	Spellbooks are tomes that contain pre-created spells that were synthesized ahead of time. This allows someone to cast a spell without going through most of the steps of setting them up, potentially saving on magic energy and ekati. The only activation requirement besides the required mana is to read the scroll's incantation aloud while in its direct presence. Spellbooks are considered very beginner friendly and pose less of a risk than the other types of magic. Those who are able to cast magic without a spellbook or a scroll are considered highly gifted as it requires rapid mental calculations on the spot.

	'''Magic''' is a phenomenon that refers to the manipulation of the seven elements of existence. There are many different specializations of what can be done with magic. Anyone can learn how to use magic. Some might have an inherent talent for it while others may need to put in many more hours of hard work to master it. The more an object is manipulated, the more energy is required. Aether magic and animancy are considered the most expensive to use, usually taking someone's entire ~~lives~~ to be able to master. As such, most magic users start off learning the other elements first.		'''Magic''' is a phenomenon that refers to the manipulation of the seven elements of existence.

			Though sometimes mistaken for it and sometimes having very similar effects, it works completely differently from [[alchemy]]. Alchemy involves the mix of other ingredients into potions while magic is the use of energies in the universe. Whichever is dominant in an area depends on the local culture.
