Magic-

Prana: Prana is the internal energy released by the souls, it charges the blood. Mage storage of prana requires on his soul quality.

Mana: Mana is prana released by the planet. A mage could absorb energy from the planet to make up for his own energy intake. The planet decreased producing prana for some reason so this option isn't used very often. A person's mana depends on the quality of soul and bloodline.

Mystic arts: Magic spells as programs. That "program" is a set of universal rules that interfere with nature once they are enforced. The power that enforces those rules is the magical energy of the magus and the command to do it is made through his soul. The greater the interference, the greater will be the amount of magical energy consumed.

HTF: Hunters Task Force is a group of combat-trained magicians; they work under the DE.
