Bryan was sitting in his usual spot in the underground HQ library and reading a book titled, 'Elementary Mystic Arts', the contents of which were written in the Hymmnos language.
What normal people called magic, in the Transcendent world it was known as mysticism or the mystic arts. It was a field that was heavily centered around the usage of spiritual force.
Through spiritual force, a Transcendent is able to cast spells, and practice various sorts of rituals, and other occult practices. These were simply beyond the realm of the physical.

Simply put, they were an extraordinary group of people who had transcended the mortal flesh and were masters of the mystic arts.
