History of Magic

Magic (Magicae in the Old Millidic language) is the general term used for the movement and manipulation of raw energy into various properties and purposes. This raw energy is present in all living things, and evolutionary traits have allowed some races to thrive in the voluntary usage of it, and some to be comparatively inept in the control of magic. Despite thousands of years of thorough research and study, there are many uncertainties and theories in the field of magic. Since it is not a physical substance, only sheer speculation can be made in it

Magic is a definitive part of current society, as it proves useful in many areas of life. The beginning of the Magellian Era saw the new and developed use of Arcane magic to make transporting goods over long distances relatively easy and safe, as well as many forms of elemental magic for mundane daily tasks. In later years, the Grand War brought forth an incredible amount of research and study into manufacture-type spells, offensive spells and vast changes to military strategy. Vindaises Zexiell, creator of the 4th forbidden field of magic, accelerated the end of the War by acting as the host for an Arch-Demon. Although it was crucial in the ending of the War, it was near impossible to kill Zexiell, as Demons possess a huge amount of life energy and magic affinity. It took the efforts of many military regiments from across the continent to stop the Arch-demon, and even then, hundreds of thousands of lives were lost.
