#magic arts

Hello folks it's that time of year again! With Art Fight having released the theme (and a historical one at that), it's time for me to continue with the second-annual installment of attack borders/frames for you guys to use :D

Very proud of these, so feel free to use if you'd like. In case the quality gets eaten, here's the Google Drive

There's different classifications of Magic, Ki being the foremost and basic of them, but also Wind.

However, it is less that this is a Magic Art, and more a Weapon Technique: Whistling Wind.

Axl has been wielding his Chainscythes (Kusari-gama) for many years now (not excluding the years spent traveling to different eras), so having the raw physical strength to generate deadly winds with his weapons isn't necessarily something done with Magic alone.

Still, on the broader topic of Magic... the actual "study" of Magic as an "Elemental Art" (Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning) is different from Magic as a "Martial Art" (Ki).

The study of Martial Arts can be traced back 3,000 or more years in to the past (as a Kenpou Master Jam Kuradoberi once attested!), but the actual decomposition and study of Magic Spells beyond this had only just begun to be studied in the early 2010s in GG's history.

It's been many years since 2010, this estimated to be the year 2188, so Magic has now become a fuel source for many various different functions and devices, not to mention arrays of unexplained phenomena that the Backyard can generate (Information Flares, in other words)!

The techniques that Martial Artists studied as early (if not earlier) than 1998 like Axl Low once did fall under a different classification.

Less "Magic Arts" (Houjutsu) and more "Ancient Martial Arts" (Kodai no Bujutsu)

I've said it before, but much of Guilty Gear's "hinted at" history is heavily tied to the lore of older Fighting Games (Street Fighter and Fatal Fury included), so the history of those Ancient Martial Arts techniques is also connected.

Art Fight thumbnail frames! Free to use and no credit needed!!! I just got in the mood and decided to doodle (but if u use them I definitely wanna see)
