Magic

Mana cores

Mana cores. There are seven mana cores a human body can hold, the seventh one being the strongest. Mana cores, unlike its name, don't determine how much mana it can hold but how powerful your magic can become. The more you have the more powerful and the more potential you have to be something great. 

Magic systems

Humans get their cores at age ten. 

Humans are the only beings born with mana cores, able to wield magic from the four foundational magic: Elemental, spiritual, Astral and Arcane. All magic comes from those four forces, the monsters don't have such magic but beastblood a biological and hereditary form of magic that flows through their veins. And to become powerful they use the mana cores inside the human body. 

Elemental Magic – Rooted in the classical elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air). All magic in this category stems from manipulating these fundamental forces of nature. Advanced mages could combine elements to create new forms of magic like lightning (fire + air) or magma (fire + earth), though that only happens if you your secondary magic is also the and elemental type. 

Spiritual Magic – Draws from the energy of souls, spirits, or life forces. This magic is tied to the essence of living beings and spiritual entities, including necromancy (manipulation of souls) or healing magic (restoring life force).

Astral Magic – Connected to celestial bodies, like stars, planets, and cosmic forces. This form of magic might involve time, space manipulation, or divination, drawing power from the cosmos or aligning with celestial events.

Arcane Magic – The pure raw energy of magic itself, often described as the foundational fabric of the universe.
