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.

If I remember correctly, spells in my world have the formal definition of being 'the circuits which allow the caster to shape ‘the power of words’ in a form they most desire.' And spells are essentially how one uses magic. In my home world, spirits execute the magic, and you pay mana to compensate.

But here it's weird, since Chroma takes that job, and it's more like directly willing it yourself instead of calling spirits. It's very taxing.
