Magic

Early life on earth was the result of one of the ancients experimenting, and in the process they passed on some of their power to every living thing on earth.

Magic in Aniena is bending the fabric of reality to the users will. Magic is almost completely exclusive to the ancients, their offspring and creations, though some other life forms have adapted different methods of achieving the same thing,

Magic takes the following forms


 * Spells. Like rituals but more immediate, ei the flick of a wrist, swing of a sword or speaking a word.
 * Rituals. A sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or objects, all preformed in a particular order to trigger a particular anomalous effect.

Magic can also take variant forms such as


 * Enchantment. Imbuing an object or living thing with magical properties such as a flaming sword or transforming someone into a vampire.
