"Magic is a powerful word. But to understand it fully, one has to break it down to its smallest blocks.
Arcane magic exists over most of the worlds and it is described as a thin layered weave.
This weave exists in two variants. White Magic and Black Magic.
White Magic, also called simply the Weave, is the pure and clean way of Arcane. While Black Magic, also called the Shadow Weave, is a dirty variation of the Weave.
All over the universe there are ancient objects called Acheron Stones. These spherical objects are roughly 2 meters in diameter with the color of gold and constructed by an ancient race.

White Magic is the pure force of the Weave. When this White Magic is sucked into a Black Hole, a kind of residue is left. This residue is what is called the Shadow Weave, or Black Magic.
It's filthy, ugly, and inflicts harm upon those who use it. It has become the primary force for the real evil Wizards.

These Acheron Stones are responsible for the existence of White Magic and Black Magic.

There are additional ways you can use to maximize the output of Arcane and Divine.
These are Symbol Magic and Circle Magic.

There are Elder Gods in the world, called Elemental Lords in the ancient times.
There is one Elder God for each elemental plane, such as Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Shadow. Plus Positive Energy and Negative Energy.
Experienced Wizards can use the forces of these Elder Gods.
It is not an easy thing to master these elder forces, and it was probably by this knowledge that this ancient race constructed the Acheron Stones.
These Acheron Stones draws powers from all the planes, Fire, Water, Earth and so on, and creates an easier, more fluid kind of magic. Arcane.

Experienced Wizard can link directly with an Acheron Stone, and draw forth the powers befor the end 'emulation', and therefore reach a higher, more powerful kind of magic.
This force is sometimes called by Raw Magic. Not many know of this.
It is teached that raw magic can erupt when huge amounts of magic is released to fast.
What really happens is that the machinery in the Acheron Stone is overwhelmed and some parts in the machinery is bypassed.
What comes out is a more chaotic, more powerful, and more dangerous magic. Raw Magic.

So, now we have White Magic, Black Magic, and Raw Magic.
Along with these we also have Koth Zei-de, Seba'gai, Da'Terra, Xiemenéz, Ma'anas, Tsar'tuaq, and Dor'Shadar.
These seven are the named elder forces drawn directly from the Elder Gods.
Any user being able to draw these forces directly from the Elder Gods is what I would call a real Wizard.
Anything less is just a childs tool.

Ah, let us not forget the current Gods. There are a few theories about which pantheon is the 'real' one, so to speak.
In the Dragon Empire there are two major pantheons, The Twelve and The Dualist Gods.
A cleric can devote himself and get access to his Gods powers.
All of these gods have their own name for their magic.
They all work the same way, but you can feel, sometimes smell, the difference.
These are all discussed more in detail under Divine.

This was a simple explanation of the word magic.

But wait, there is more.
Psionic. The power of the mind. Through intensive training, one can learn to shape ones surrounding using only your mind. This is called Psionic.

One should not forget that pretty much anything can be used and shaped into some useable force.
There are some that has succeeded in tapping into the nothingness between the planes of reality.
With it they could unleach something the world has never seen before... but not for long.
These powers are to strong, to chaotic in nature to control. You will only end up dead. This is called Chaos Magic.

There is a better way to tap into the power of creation itself.
A really, really good Wizard, one who have dwelt into the right things, like me for example, can reach through creation, reality itself.
And in the deepest bottom, you will need to find the threads of creation. If you find one such thread, you can affect reality itself.
And by doing that, you can do anything. I do not know if there is a name for this power.
I have heard the name 'Epic Magic' in some books. But I prefer my own name, Nexus Magic.
If you want to know the reason for this name, read more about it here, The Nexus.

Thanks for me, my name is Damon Yang."
