Skills and Magic
"It's used to check which magic types you are most compatible with," Seraphina explained, showing Bel the affinity card, the blue translucent runic sheet she held.
"Compatible?!... I can use fire," Bel ignited the tip of her fingers with soul flame, showing Seraphina that that was what she was compatible with.
"No...That's not magic, it's more of a skill," Seraphina shook her head as she proceeded to explain what magic and skills were.
Magic is basically the manipulation of mana, or as the book said, mana in motion. Everything, from the tiniest atom to the largest galactic filament, is made up of mana, creato, the purest form of mana. The winds passing, the birds singing, the trees growing, fire dancing—all employ different types of energy, of which their main code is mana.
