Magic

Magic refers to both shamanism and the arcane, though the arcane is typically just called magic. Most races practice shamanism in one way or another; the process involves offering sacrifices unto the Gods thus gaining access to manipulate the elements: summoning gusts of wind, calling lightning, tremors, waves, and other such actions. It is favored by the lesser races. Also known simply as magic, it is in many ways superior to shamanism, though only few races are capable of it as it requires high intelligence and concentration. Not requiring sacrifice, it is easier to use and reliable as well as typically much stronger than shamanism, being able to summon balls of fire, lightning or ice for instance (sometimes all at once!). It is used by Gnomes, Humans, Elves, the Kaix, and the Yantari.
