Magic

Magic (Magick, Magicks) exists in the Anaxverse as a natural force misunderstood or not comprehended by humanity’s science. Like all things in the Cosmos, magic follows natural laws. Using metaphor, it is a force like fire. Fire can cook your favorite meal and warm your hearth, but it can also burn and destroy you. There are two types of magic which align with the two interacting forces of existence- the Inner Light and Outer Darkness. In the Physical World, both vibrations coalesce and crash into each other, thus there are practitioners of Light Magic and Shadow Magic. However, once a spirit moves further into either frequency (Inner Light or Outer Darkness) it is difficult if not impossible to use the opposite force therein. In other words, a Plague Witch that somehow found herself in a dimension of the Inner Light, for example, Elysium, she would likely be completely unable to perform any of her spells, because there is no shadow magic there or shadowy entities to call upon. Of course, the reversal is also true and a light caster, like a Thaumaturge, would find it impossible to use the Light Magic in a dimension like Tartarus.
