Sorcery	Choslow Crown Royal Goverment Indefinite Color Kerussiria Lorzepk Magia Regnum Prestore Japuile	A type of magic that comes from a so-called source. It requires magical energy to cause effect, called Mana, which isn't a specific substance, but rather an umbrella-term for all types of substances that can act as sorcerous magical fuel, which can come in many forms. Mana can be contained in a person, or come as crystals, liquid, gas, or more. Most sorcerers' bodies produce their own Mana. But Mana can also come from an external source. 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.	Create a ball of fire. Make something invisible. Teleport to a location. Make plants grow. Heal a wound.

Thaumaturgy	Choslow Crown Royal Goverment Indefinite Color Kerussiria Lorzepk Magia Regnum Prestore Tepror Japuile	Science and technology is about researching, developing, and applying laws of the universe. Magic is a law of the world like any other. Thaumaturgy is not a specific type of magic but the scientific field of researching, developing, and applying magic more generally.

Phantasmary	Indefinite Color Prestore	Phantasmary is magic of the real phantasm. It is about potential, perception, expectation, imagination, understanding and misunderstanding, subjectivity turned objective, and the erasure of the difference between the real and unreal. Spectacle and presentation are important to a Phantasmiac. music, light, and smoke and mirrors are tools of the Phantasmiac Arts. Storytelling is a great way to channel the potential of Phantasmary. Those with phantastic nature, like fey, have more potent ambiguity to utilize for Phantasmary. A magician holds an empty hat, yet one cannot see the hat’s inside, so it could contain anything; it therefore contains a rabbit. The mirror looks like a doorway to an extended room, because it is. A rainbow is an illusion of light, but it seems so tangible, like an object with location, size, and form; try touching it. Red is a hot color, can it burn you? Dreamcatchers, made to catch dreams.	Banish someone within a mirror. Appear/Disappear when unobserved. Crack open the sky with a pickaxe to mine lapis lazuli. Bake a cake made of dreams. Become unrecognized by wearing a fake mustache.

Elemental Magic	Choslow Japuile Magia Regnum	Elemental magic in the Grand Duchy of Japuile is wielded by the Shamans, a caste of people who inherited the ability to use this magic from their parents. There are two tiers of elemental magic: the basic elements (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air) and the advanced elements (Nature, Magma, Tornado, and Rock). To use elemental magic, the Shamans have to think about the effect they want to achieve and then make the appropriate gestures. More experienced Shamans can use elemental wands to help them focus their thoughts and achieve the desired effect. However, the most important limitation of elemental magic is the presence of the element itself. While Shamans can create elements out of nothing, it takes a lot of work and can be very tiring, even for more experienced Shamans. Only the Shaman caste can use elemental magic, as the ability is passed down through generations. Overuse of elemental magic can lead to nature needing to repair, and inaccurate use of the magic can harm others or oneself. While Shamans were once seen as spiritual guides and saviors from the forces of nature, society has since "technologized" and locked Shamans into a caste. As a result, the Grand Duke established a special region where Shamans can live and learn in a more natural way. The use of Shamanic Magic is also supervised and researched by the Academy of Magical Arts.	Air Ride, create a bridge of water, create a shield of stone.	Japuile
Magitek	Prestore Regeliana S'Lanter	Magitek is a field of technology focused on making people without magical potential capable of channeling and utilizing magical energy through the use of technology. While most natural magics use either one's own magical ability or connect them to a natural well of magical power, Magitek users use technology to channel scattered magical energy around them into a usable energy capable of performing the things that traditional magic users can, as long as the magitek items are powered. The exact integration of Magitek varies from user to user. Magitek can be embedded into the user in the form of things like cybernetics, or can be items anyone can use to channel magic if they are charged. The former has been known to drive users insane if they malfuncfion, due to an "overdose" of magical energy the bodies of Magitek users are not used to. The inherent dangers to the technology used to facilitate Magitek users has continued to be stigmatized as a result.	Channel outside magic into a traditional magic spell. Artificially turn a normal person into a magic user.	Regeliana
Linguaflux	Magia Regnum	Users harness this magical school to heighten auditory perception from which they can discern the subtle nuances of pronunciation, tone, and rhythm that others may miss. Their cognitive enhancement allows them to absorb linguistic information swiftly and retain it with ease, facilitating the learning of new languages and the deciphering of unfamiliar dialects. Through their intuitive understanding of linguistic patterns, the user can effortlessly discern underlying grammatical rules, syntactic arrangements, and semantic associations. This profound comprehension enables them to make connections between similar words, identify recurring patterns, and deduce the meanings of unfamiliar terms. Additionally, the Magian establishes an empathetic link with language speakers, allowing them to absorb not only the words but also the emotions and intentions conveyed. This empathetic connection grants them deeper insights into the cultural context and subtle nuances of the language. Lastly, their talent for linguistic synthesis empowers the Magian to combine elements from different languages, creating new words, expressions, or even constructed languages that serve as bridges in communication.	Channel magic to decipher, bridge, and influence languages, enabling them to connect with others, convey messages, and navigate diverse linguistic landscapes.	Magia Regnum
Totemism	Template:Country data Bugwe horde	Totemism is the magical practice of creating small totems with trees that are said to be blessed by the gods (they are blessed by the gods). These totems are either created to be broken or to be place on top of an open wound. This is because the bugwi gods can only bless them if its through blood. So bugwi will use small flint knives to make semi large wounds to be able to use the magic. Or they will create disposable totems that are meant to be broken. Then once said totems are broken, a burst of volatile magic will be expelled at an alarming rate.	Breaking a totem to be used as an explosive, using sun magic to bless the land they stand on.

Carnomancy	Ambriya Prestore S'Lanter	Carnomancy is the magical art of manipulating living organic tissue using mana. Magical energy serves as the fuel for casting, which can be channeled through the user's limbs or tools, such as needles and can only be performed through direct contact between the channeled instrument and the organic matter. The effects of the actions are determined by the caster's inner thoughts and movements, requiring a modest amount of concentration, in addition to the user's sight and the level of observed detail determining the precision and the scale at which the effects take place. Carnomancy can be used to move, separate, attach, modify and stretch organic tissue and fluids, as well as prevent their decay.
