The Sage

A Mage's Guide to Understanding Magic

Sorry guys, but the next piece will take some time. So I will release this to clarify on magic terms used in the future.

Full Suit: A full body suit activated to optimize the release of spells via Mana. Of course, this is caused by whatever your source of magic is.

Grimoire: A magic device used by certain mages to increase their capabilities. This is because the device itself can use it's own Mana to increase the spell size, speed, and efficiency.

Blitz (types): A blitz is a easily learned sword skill that allows for quick acceleration based on how much Mana used and how hard you think about movement to gain its charge.

Types:
Reckless,longest charge, a major speed boost at the cost of being unable to stop suddenly
Quick, a very fast charge that moves maybe 3 steps at high speed and reduces over time.
Normal, a middle length in charge and distance, and can be stopped by the charging of another blitz
Chain, when you use multiple blitzes in a row to increase overall speed

Magic Types:
There are many, many types of special abilities. The primary three you'll find are Dragon Riders, Spirit Tamers, and Grimoire Masters. Another, less common type, is Legendary Item users. Legendary items are very hard to come by, and have very good abilities. To give examples, Astral is a legendary item. Most dragons and some spirits have legendary items with them. Most tiers above 8 will come with a legendary item.

Manifestation:
Some powers are manifested through spells, some can be used to create a physical form of something (i.e. a dragon) and some spirits. Even manifestations of Gods can be created with enough magic. Keep in mind, it's usually not what you'd expect.

Overexhaustion:
When you use Mana that you don't have, it causes Overexhaustion. This can cause the body to begin to stop working, as most mages have become reliant on the flow of Mana. This is the most lethal disease in all of the diseases for mages.

Savage mode:
This is when a mages' power source unlocks all of it's power to defend or save it's owner. This is problematic, as it causes you to lose all recollection of the event and even can cause Overexhaustion. Also, your body can fall apart if used too long. Obviously, this can be turned into a controlled release with practice.

Limiter:
It's for mages who suffer with Savage mode. These can be a containment spell or specific Grimoires to contain and slowly release this power. Most are painful if you cross the limit, but not all.

Battle suit:
A school provided uniform built for easy movement and lightweight capabilities. This makes for easy sword fights.

Almost all mages automatically have a magic barrier. The only way to pass this barrier and get magic to affect a mage faster is through a kiss ( or sex should do the trick) as you can cast spells from anywhere near you including off body spells of course.
