Magic

Magic is a supernatural force in the form of a blessing that allows practitioners to harness parts of the soul to alter the fabrics of reality at fundamental levels. When a magic spell part of a soul is used. When the spell is arcane in nature then a fraction of the casters soul is consumed as the energy of the spell, but when a divine spell is cast then the soul consumed is from the spell-granting deity. Dangerously, if one does not know how to repair their soul then it may decay.

Originally, magic was brought into existence by Hameal relatively late in the history of the universe. The war of the Highers had stopped with the Fallen fleeing Deos, but Hameal had concerns that if one of them were to attack a world then the beings and beasts would put up limited resistance. The blessing of magic upon a few gave them a way of defending themselves. This magic was raw and arcane, only to be practised by those blessed or with blessed ancestors but overtime magic has changed.

Raw Magic
When magic was originally sewn into the fabric of the universe it was raw and unrefined for the souls of beings to wield effectively resulting in more powerful but sporadically complicated magic. This was how Hameal intended it as she wanted only the highest of beings to be able to master it. Overtime beings learnt to control magic more and begun attempting to structure and organising it. This process took magic away from its raw nature and towards the Arcane.

Arcane Magic
Arcane magic, commonly referred to as 'the Art', developped

Arcane magic only occurs in individuals that have either been directly blessed by Hameal or that have blessed blood running through them

Lost relatives
It is possible, with magic being blood related, that decedents of magic-borns

Divine Magic
Magic that originates from a spell-granting deity, usually through prayer, is divine in nature and is commonly called 'the Power'. For one to gain to ability to wield divine they must gain the favour of a god, most commonly through years of worship, learning and dedication being partaken and even then one may not succeed. A practitioner of the Power has no affinity with the Art, as their spells are utilise parts of the gods soul portrayed through the caster. Casting divine spells is more like an exclamation of faith that brings about a sensation appropriate to the patron deity to whom the faith was devoted.
