Spells are cast by channeling the energy of crystals through a mix of focus, imagination, and intent. Magic is deeply responsive to its user’s emotions, requiring precision and discipline to control the more complex the magic is. Each individual possesses a unique magical affinity, which determines the type of magic they can cast, these include fire, water, electricity, earth, wind, light, life, or spirit.
Basic spells, known as cantrips, require only simple tools like wands or watch-like holders to cast. These minor spells create small effects, such as igniting a flame or sprouting a single plant. However, more powerful or intricate magic demands specialized implements—like the rifle-like slugger or its smaller counterpart, the slinger—along with spell cartridges. These cartridges contain inscribed runes that store and shape magical energy, allowing casters to unleash pre-made spells with ease. While they simplify spellcasting, mastering complex magic still requires discipline and skill to avoid mishaps.
This system scales up for larger machinery, such as heavy Juggernauts and swift Airobirds, whose magical functions depend on their operators' proficiency. However, truly massive constructs, like Leviathan warships or arcane power plants, require advanced automated systems, as their sheer power is beyond the control of any single person.
