There are several types of magic, which depends on what type of source is used. It's unknown exactly how it works, but it's likely to come from a representation of a power in the Etheral plane, and that is where you channel it from. The bits and pieces of a spell can therefore be channelled as Holy magic, Primal Prime magic or Elemental magic, for example.
* <b style="color:white;">[[Arcane magic]]</b><br>A group name for magic, but also the most advanced and powerful incantations. Can be used to manipulate the flow of time, and is considered highly volatile and dangerous.
*** '''Death'''<br>It's not known if Death is part of the spiritual energies or not, but the essence of death is part of the [[Great Cycle of Being]] rather than only Dark/Demonic/Chaotic magic, even if they DO use death. Death is the opposite of life and death magic will hurt living creatures.
*** '''Life'''<br>It's not known if Life is part of the spiritual energies or not, but the essence of life is part of the [[Great Cycle of Being]] rather than only Light/Holy/Order magic, even if they DO use life. Life is the opposite of death and life magic will hurt undead creatures.
* <b style="color:white;">Primal Prime magic</b><br>Magic channelled from inside the body. Used mainly to allow the body to accomplish feats that are otherwise impossible. Can also be used to [[curse]] a target.
* <b style="color:white;">Elemental magic</b><br>"Standard" type of magic. Can be very forceful and full of power.
** '''Fire'''<br>It's relatively easy to form Mana into a flame, and to control it into a form, like a bolt, stream ball or wall. Used almost exclusively in a destructive manner.
