Magic is the art of manipulating of Cosmic Energy. Mages, Sorcerers and Wizards need a deep connection to the Cosmic Energy in their cells and deep knowledge in the field of science they want to manipulate. They will then practice to control their field of study at a molecular level.

Magicians usually build up cosmic energy inside of them through body conditioning and meditation, but they can also drain energy from nearby sources.

Learning Magic
The ideal way to learn magic is to first study a small subject for a lot of time, while building up Cosmic Energy inside the body of the magician. For example learning and understanding how a spark is formed at a molecular level can take a few weeks. With this knowledge and enough Cosmic Energy, a young mage will be able to create a spark with a snap of the fingers. Learning complex spells like making a dragon appear out of thin air can take years.

Biology
Magicians studying the field of chemistry are often called Sorcerers. Spells in this field of study are often associated with altering living creatures and plants. The most common spells are:
 * Animal Control
 * Beast Speech
 * Body Enhancement
 * Change Food
 * Illusion
 * Healing
 * Mind Control
 * Necromancy
 * Pain (Reducing/Enhancing)
 * Plant Growth
 * Projection
 * Shapeshift
 * Telepathy

Chemistry
Magicians studying the field of chemistry are often called Mages. Spells in this field of study are often associated with controlling basic elements and mixing them. The most common spells are:
 * Change Material
 * Control/Create Air
 * Control/Create Earth
 * Control/Create Fire
 * Control/Create Water
 * Drain Cosmic Energy
 * Magic Protection
 * Weather Control

Physics
Magicians studying the field of physics are often called Wizards.Spells in this field of study are often associated with controlling basic elements and mixing them. The most common spells are:
 * Detection
 * Divination
 * Levitation
 * Light
 * Sound
 * Teleportation
 * Time Manipulation
 * Time Travel

Symbolism
Although Cosmic Energy is not quantifiable by regular means, it acts in a very predictable way. Magic is much stronger when used in a certain pattern. These geometrical shapes are the best way to channel Cosmic Energy in one place to use it in a spell.

Dangers of Magic
A Magician not using magic properly can drain is entire internal Cosmic Energy and kill himself.

Powerful spells can require an enormous amount of Cosmic Energy and can destroy the surrounding environment (plants and creatures alike) by draining all the cosmic energy around the caster.

History
At first the users of magic were shamans and used magic by draining the Cosmic Energy from sacrifices. With this energy they could cast small spells like illusions, visions or healing small wounds.

Fairies then developed the art of magic, with much deeper knowledge and more powerful spells. The knowledge was eventually shared creating schools and guilds of Magicians.

Rapidly, Elves became the dominant species in the use of Magic due to their long lifespans and crave for knowledge. This is the reason most books teaching magic are only written in Verokien.
