Disclaimer
This page is made to create an overview of magic around Sparkalia. It is supposed to classify types of magic in a very broad and general way. It is not meant to be a list of specific applications of magic. For example, do not make entries for a specific type of magical technology; or for a specific sub-type of spells. We don't need multiple sub-fields of a type of magic. If you can make it fit under a more general and broad category, do that. You can put all your own details and applications of magic on their own page. Keep this page clean and simple, so it wont become a cluttered mess of hundreds of very specific entries.

Sorcery | Indefinite Color Shinkei |
Sorcery is a classic form of magic. One can create effects by expending mana. Sorcerers have the ability to shape mana with their will to create the desired effect. Movement, emotion, speech, music, and general presentation can help steer the effect. Wands and other items can help, even if just a regular wooden stick, because they give a certain direction, feel, and presentation to the spell. Because Sorcery is mainly about mindset, feel, and presentation of the the Sorcerer. Mana can be contained in a person, or come as crystals, liquid, gas, or more. | Create a ball of fire.

Platovex | Indefinite Color | Platovex is about interacting with abstract concepts like they are physical objects. Often do physical objects act as 'avatars' and symbols of certain platonic ideas, the shapes these symbols take are depended on how the concept is perceived and associated with.

Chroma Spectralia | Indefinite Color | Certain colors are magical and affect and influence the world in certain ways. They are Spectra Colors, and created when light is split or morphed a certain magical way. It is less about their physical quality like wavelength and more about the Qualia of color. One color may cause fire and rage and spectacle, one maybe glitter and hope and potential and inspiration, one maybe amnesia and shadows and decay. With the right combination of color mixing, almost all effects are possible. Chroma Spectralia often carries more than one effect simultaneously, as such unpredictable side effects are common. | Set something ablaze. Cause the smell of honey. Inflict anger. Give inspiration.
