Chapter 8 Magic [Part 2]

"But you wanted to go to the capital quickly, you know there are libraries in the capital where you can learn all about magic," Leia said.

"Yes but I don't mind staying," Ethan said.

"Mum he wants to stay, don't chase him away," Zara said.

'Well it's good, besides I don't have a house in the capital and I don't have any money so it's ok to stay the night'

(Yeah, just keep telling yourself that, we all know the reason)

"Where do you want me to start?" Leia asked.

"From the beginning" Ethan replied.

'Why does it feel like this boy is from another world, everybody here knows something about magic even if it's little, everyone can cast spells even if it is weak, but it feels like he doesn't know a thing about magic, maybe it was due to his memory loss' this thought ran through Leia's head.

"Okay let's start from the beginning"

All being on this planet have the ability to manipulate the attribute they are born with.

Everyone on this planet is born with the ability to control one of the 8 attributes in this universe. Elemental Magic is just as the name sounds: the ability to control one of the 4 basic elements. Most people only possess the ability to control one attribute.

Ice is an advanced form because it isn't one of the basic elements, if a person is born with the ability to manipulate water, if they train they can also control ice but it is different for other attributes.

Dark magic is the only exception, because of its rarity, not many people has the knowledge about this attribute. Even through the history of the silver continent, there are only a few dark Magic users, resulting in dark magic being often left forgotten.

Movements or certain motions are often used to assist the people to control their attributes, from finger movements, hand motions, etc.

For example, a water Mage will require fluid hand motion, while Earth Mage requires strong and sturdy stances.

At the advanced level, an expert Mage can control their elements without the assistance of any movements.

There are 8 types of Magic attribute (including light & dark). Each type of Magic attribute has it's own unique strengths and weaknesses.

Fire

Fire Element allows the Mage to perform Pyrokinesis, the ability to manipulate and create fire. Fire Element tends to be the most destructive of all elements, with very few defensive properties.

Fire Magic can be affected by the weather. When it's sunny and arid, the potency of Fire is enhanced while when it's raining, humid, or underwater, Fire Magic becomes difficult or impossible to use.

Water

Water Element allows the Mage to perform Hydrokinesis, the ability to manipulate water at will. Water Magic can be considered to be the most adaptable of all element.

Having the ability to transform into various states, like Ice and Vapor. Water Magic can also be affected by environment, mostly depending on the humidity and weather.

Wind

Wind Element allows the Mage to perform Aerokinesis, the abiltiy to manipulate air and create wind at will. Unlike other element, Wind Magic is invisible, and can be considered the deadliest element.

Wind Magic make up for the lack of physical defense capability with deflective and evasive moves. Wind Magic, can also be destructive depending on the Mage's potential.

And unlike other element, Wind Magic can directly affect weather, creating hurricanes or other wind based phenomenon.

Earth

Earth Element allows the Mage to perform Geokinesis, the ability to manipulate earth at will. While it's not necessarily earth, Earth Magic allows the user to manipulate most earthen minerals or any form of earth, such as rocks, sands, minerals like gemstones and crystals, and even Mud.

Boasting raw physical power and great mass, Earth magic is strong in both defensive and offensive capability, as well as pure destructive potential at the cost of the Mage's mobility, because Earth Magic is often accompanied with sturdy strong movement to be accomplished.

Lightning

Lightning Element allows the Mage to perform Fulgurkinesis, the ability to manipulate electricity at will and the ability to absorb and store electricity in their body.

Lightning Magic's potential is also destructive, as they have similar nature with Fire. But, unlike Fire. Lightning Magic is much faster, and has almost no defensive properties.

Lightning can be considered to be the most dangerous to Human, as they can injure other people easily and cause multiple injuries. Lightning Magic can also affect the weather, causing a Storm and Thunder strikes. That is however, considered to be an advanced level of Lightning Magic.

Dark

The most mysterious of the elements. There's no defined definition or explanations of what dark Magic can actually do. Although not much is known, dark Magic is considered to be the rarest Element.

The knowledge of this mysterious element is only passed from teacher to student. Only a total of few people in the silver continent are able to use this Element, making it extremely rare.

But I heard this element is common among the dark elves, but elves don't associate with any species except during mating period.

Ice

Ice magic allows the Mage to perform Cryokinesis, the ability to manipulate water in it's most advance form which is ice. Ice magic can also be considered to be the most adaptable of all element.

Having the ability to transform water into ice. Ice Magic can also be affected by environment, also depending on the humidity and weather.

Light

This element isn't known to anyone except the elves, the elves have two kingdom, the light elves and the dark elves. Even though both are elves they do no associate with each other.

'Just like in movies, I wonder which elemental attribute I have' Ethan thought as he listened carefully.

"I'm going to make breakfast" Leia said and left the room.
