Magic

Magic is an energy force provided by a soul. Any and every soul possesses magic. Magic is their ability to manipulate the world of Kalentriel by bringing a part of their energy and strength into physical existence. Different souls have different levels of strength in regards to magic, and each soul's magic style is unique.

Some are more adept at some aspects than others, and the area in which they are most adept is called their First Power, or sometimes Yellai. A harvester's First Power comes easiest to them, and is usually the first magic ability that they were able to use. Every type of magic outside their First Power must be learned through training and honed to perfection, though even their First Power can be practiced, honed and improved upon. A First Power can be literally anything. The more specific their First Power, the more easily they can learn other forms of magic. For example, someone whose First Power is to boil water will have a slightly easier time learning other forms of magic than someone whose First Power is changing the temperature of water. Those with specific and even inconsequential First Powers are more diverse magic users, while those with broader First Powers are less diverse magic users.

Some souls are even so broad in their abilities that they are called elementals. These souls can use any type of magic within their element with relative ease, but any other type of magic is very difficult to learn. Elementals do not only apply to earth, air, fire and water. They can be any large category, such as sound, animals, electricity, ice, temperature, light, and so forth. Elementals are very powerful when using their elements, and the persistent can learn, through vigorous training, to be very adept at other forms of magic as well. However, no mater how powerful they may be with other forms of magic, elementals will always be susceptible to attacks that damage their element. For example, a shadow element will always be more effected by light magic than a regular harvester, and a fire element will be weak against water magic. This weakness is what separates elementals from regular harvesters.
