This may be too broad of a question to ask, but I've been curious at any rate. I'd like to ask about what your interpretation of "magic" is, and the basic rules of it should it have any or even limitations.

From my understanding based on my own world, there are some limitations, but magic is capable of much in talented hands.

I suppose that also begs the question of what exactly chroma can be used for, as it is in its essence not quite the typical energy source, yet capable of mild magic on its own.

In our world, anyone looking to approach magic would have it described thus:

"The path of magic beckons to those with a restless desire to study and command sorcery in all its forms. Its adherents use artifacts and relics to call upon and channel forces within themselves and the aether around them, from which they then weave spells of both destruction and restoration."

"Aether" of course, refers to the source of magic and life around us. It's found in heavier concentration in some areas. And this isn't even taking into account the fact that there are yet unexplored sources of magic. Such as the dragons on our world using their own kind of magic!

Different magic for different species isn't terribly surprising.

What sort of limitations do you think there is to the magic you know?

[menphina]

Honestly? Just the limits of my own skill and aether.
There are people who can't do magic at all, or have any sort of focus or command of it.
Even with the aid of their environment and guidance.

That, and I prefer my potions more.
They can help enhance others magic!
So I suppose I'm decent, and could be better. I've just no desire to go beyond what I do or risk getting involved with arts that might not suit me.
I've a family to worry about!

Why are you asking, love?
