Magic
Magic is the supernatural power that was employed by certain individuals and societies throughout the Bolganio continent's history. These individuals, referring to themselves as sorcerers, magicians, mages, or spellcasters, manipulated magic for a variety of purposes and used it to great effect. The art was teachable to anyone, though difficult to master, but only those with great magical talent could become adept at using magic. Although its utilization declined in the centuries following the collapse of the Magic Kingdom Levianta, magic continued to have a signifigant influence on events in the Evillious region.

History
During its reign, the Magic Kingdom Levianta gained prominence and become the most powerful nation in the region, making great advances in magic and magical technology. [More]

Mechanics
Magic itself involves the manipulation of life and the elements, able to perform tasks as mundane as germinating flora to something as flashy as creating large streams of fire. For more complex spells and rituals, an incantation is often recited. The moon is especially important in the casting of magic. Depending on the time of month when the moon undergoes different phases, magic spells can either be stronger or weaker and the very success of more difficult and powerful spells relies greatly on whether there is a full moon.

Advanced Healing
A rare magical ability allowing the user to heal from injuries at a quicker pace. Through this power, an individual can heal from minor or serious injuries days in advance of a normal human. The forest spirits of Held benefit from this power while in their physical form, so long as they reside in his forest. The power can also develop as a result of using the vessels of sin, particularly the Glass of Conchita.

Body Steal Technique
A technique used to supress the conciousness of the caster's target and control their  body as their own, effectively stealing it. While using this technique, the caster gains the unique characteristics, abilities, and magical potential of the other user's bodies. Although able to act independently while utilizing another person's body, the caster must remain near the body in order to maintain the technique.

Body Swap Technique
A technique used to transfer the conciousness of the caster and their target with one another, effectively swapping bodies. Through this technique, the user and target gain the unique characteristics, abilities, and magical potential the other's body possesses, although also using their original body possesses. This technique is seemingly unlearnable and is only used by Elluka Clockworker after being resurrected by the Sin ark.

Capture Spell
A  spell used to confine an individual to a limited area for an indefinite amount of time [more]

Lock
An adept-level spell used to magically lock doors to prevent entry. The spell was able to combat attempts by mages and non-mages alike to break into homes. After the destruction of the Magic Kingdom Levianta, the spell became obsolete and became increasingly rare in the centures that followed the catastrophe.

Prediction Dream
A rare magical ability that may develop from retaining Lust magic in a person's body, also referred to as "Purple Dream". The power varies between individuals. Through the power, the user may be able to envision multiple related events of the future in their dream and determine their accuracy based on the "color" the dream presents. Dreams that were purple were guaranteed to occur. It may also manifest as a broader power, allowing the user to peer into the past as well as the future, though their chance of being accurate would be around 50% at most.

Projection
A adept level ritual that allowed the user to project a spirit as an intangible apparition, allowing others to communicate with it. It is unable to project the being for very long and can only be used a certain number of times before being rendered ineffective. The ritual requires an incantation to be recited within a certain proximity of the spirit being projected.

Reanimation
A high-level spell used to reanimate the dead. Using the spell, the user could reincarnate a corpse with a new conciousness and make it obedient to the caster. When using the Glass of Conchita, the wielder can reanimate the dead killed by the vessel's Goula pathogen by pouring wine from the glass onto the ground near the cadaver.

Reincarnation
A high-level technique where the individual's soul is reborn as another being. During Project 'Ma', the technique was employed in an attempt to incarnate the twin gods, Levia-Behemo, as humans. Under unknown circumstances, the souls of Hänsel and Gretel began to reincarnate together every few centuries in per-determined cycles, although the cycles could be disrupted and affect the process. Mages could learn an astronomical ritual in order to reincarnate entities, such as spirits, as humans. The process involved drawing a symbol on the ground and having the target imagine the appearance of a human they wished to reincarnate as.

Summon Rain
A spell used to create a downpour in the surrounding area. By sacrificing a jis tiama in a prayer to the gods, the user can conjure a large rainstorm capable of dousing forest fires.

A powerful mage could also transform a jis tiama into a massive kraken-esque creature, easily dwarfing large ships.

Unlock
An adept-level spell used to magically unlock locks. Although the spell is hindered by magical locks, locks without any magic are simple to open for a skilled user. After the destruction of the Magic Kingdom Levianta, the spell became highly effective for breaking into homes due to the declining number of mages and their magical locks.

Jis Tiama
A rare species of octopus that resides in the Hawk Sea. Originally used as a sacrifice in the Magic Kingdom Levianta, 70% of the creature's population was consumed. When it reemerged centuries after Levianta's collapse, it was sometimes used for medicinal purposes in Marlon but otherwise exported to Beelzenia. Although its food purposes was discovered by Banica Conchita, the creature was largely uneaten centuries after her death due to its grotesque appearance. The octopus has powerful magical properties and can be sacrificed to conjure a large rainstorm. When combined with dust shaved from the Golden Key, the jis tiama's ink becomes a powerful healing elixer. A powerful mage can also transform the creature into a large, kraken-like monster.

Very Amazing Spring Onion
A magic tool used for long-distance communication by mages, crafted during the magic kingdom's era and based on an ancient divine creation. By retaining the magic of its owner, the user can have the tool pick up its frequency and allow the users to communicate. It emits a dazzling light when actively used and flashes when the owner is attempting to contact the user. It is exceptionally hard, making it easy to settle in soft earth to stand on its own. Because the tool deteriorates over time, it must sealed in a special box to prevent decay and cannot be used too frequently.
