Universal Battles and Magic
What is magic? In the world of Universal
Battles magic is a force of energy that can be manipulated through
spoken words and hand jesters. This energy can be force to alter reality, time and space. Where this energy comes from and why it can only be controled through
words and hand jesters, no one knows for sure. The knowledge of magical forces
manipulation has been passed down for 1000’s of years if not longer.
What is known and only by a hand
full is that somewhere in the universal is a place, object, or something that
contains the energy that is called magic. Apparently magic only exist in this unknown
area and can only be used from that area of the universe. It is said that an
artifact was created to focus and house the magical energy with in it. The item
or object seems to have a continuing flew of magic from that area in the
universe. So as to extend the range that magic can be used and manipulated. That
area has long since adapted the name of The Nexus and the item or
object(s), The Nexus Artifact(s).
The Nexus Artifact was either a
single large object broken into many smaller ones or has always been several
items. But no one seems to know for sure. It is said, that any creature that
possesses or is within the area of the object and who possesses the knowledge
of magic manipulation can use the magical forces that it houses. The maximum
area of effect that the Nexus artifact can affect is unknown, but some spell casters
have been known to only be able to manipulate magic in areas as small as a
planet or as large as a whole star system. But only one spell caster has been
able to control magic further then a star system and that is a sorcerer called,
Keler Maylo. He is the oldest and the most ancient of the known sorcerer.
Bethica and Magic
In The World of Bethica,
magic is rare and mostly feared. In some regions the use of magic is outlawed. Anyone
in those areas caught using magic of any kind is put to death immediately
without trial. As for the knowledge of The Nexus and The
Nexus Artifacts, are unknown to the inhabitants of Bethica. They
believe that magic comes from the Gods, from within, or from nature itself. They can not
only use spoken words and hand jesters to use magic, they have also learned that
certain and rare items called, spell components can be used to create and to
control magic.
In Bethica there are only a few
races that can even control magic and cast spells. Those are the races of Elves: Qu’venars and Syvarians, the races of Humans: Volarian and Morganars, the races of Felines: Kalorians and Solarians and the
Timbakni race of people. There are a few creatures and supernatural beings that
can manipulate magic. Some are dragon, fairies, demons, higher forms of undead,
and more.
