Magicians
Short for Magic Technician, Magician is a generic term for people capable of using practical-level magic. Magic Sequence These are information bodies meant to temporarily manipulate phenomenon-related information. These are constructed from a magician's stock psions to alter such information, working in a similar way to a computer virus. The effects of magic are temporary although if the magic is sufficiently prolonged the effects can overwrite reality. Outputting magic sequences obey the following processes;
Magic Systems Traditional magic classifies the techniques by applying symbolic elements to the phenomenon being activated. Model classifications consist of numerous elements including Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Sky. Modern magic, with its roots from ESP research, are classified not from the perceived property but from its functionality. Namely, Acceleration, Weight, Movement, Oscillation, Convergence, Diffusion, Absorption and Emission, which make up the four-system, eight-type magic system. There are always exceptions, magics that cannot be classified under this system. As such, three further categories exist which are Perception magic, Non-systematic magic and Outer systematic magic Magic Processes In modern magic, the term "magic processes" carry two meanings: first, the very processes to activate magic, and second, the combined singular and multiple magic processing for the purpose of performing the target alterations to reality. Magic Evaluation Standards Magic is graded based on Activation Speed, Capacity and Interference Strength. Other main factors like stock psion capacity or multi-variable processing capability are not counted towards magic strength. Magicians are controlled through a licensing system, and it is the norm for them to be assessed from A-rank to E-rank. Magic Calculation Area The region of the mind where magic sequences are constructed, which exists in a magician's unconscious mind and grants them the ability to use magic. |
