Magic is the manipulation of the world, and worlds, through the use of the magic language of Genlim. Using Genlim mages, wizards, witches, and warlocks to create, manipulate, destroy, or alter the world. 

The easiest way to use magic is to manipulate the four basic elements, fire, earth, wind, and water. From using either individually or in combinations a mage can attack his foes, alter the landscape and elements, defend his friends, and many other things. If a mage becomes more proficient they can learn to manipulate more than the basic elements. One such element is whats called spirit magic. It involves manipulating the souls, spirits, and spiritual energies to accomplish things like soul wandering, spirit rending, and when combined with the basic elements it can also make healing spells more effective. There is also the magic art of necromancy. While illegal in places it is accepted amongst mages. Mages can also summon beings from other planes of existence. While powerful creatures and other worldly beings can be very helpful and useful if they are not controlled they can wreak havoc across the world. 

Magic is not something that is easily or readily mastered. It takes years of study, practice, and even then a mage is limited to their life essence. Magic drains a mage physically and mentally. The more magic or, more complex the magic, the more it drains the mage. It becomes harder to focus and reach the magic and eventually they will collapse. However a person can enhance their magical capabilities in a number of ways. The most common way is simple practice. Like almost anything in life practice will allow a mage to perform magic for longer and more complex spells. Mages will often compare running to practicing magic. If a person runs a lot or more they will be able to run farther and faster with time. Magic works on the same idea. 

Mages are constantly trying to learn more about magic. They conduct experiments, tests, and new ways of combining magic. This can lead to great new improvements to magic but it can also create horrible mishaps that cause catastrophes.
