Magic

o Technically, magic is not inherently magical as it doesn’t require spell books or potions to work. Magic can only happen when someone is wearing a catalyst and has been extensively trained in manipulating their catalyst to its fullest potential. Typically, most mages can channel one of five elements, with an even fewer number being able to channel light or dark, and rarely, all types of magic through a blessing from Magike. Healing magic is different however, as it requires specialized training, as well as access to a stave. Blessings from Magike do not allow the use of healing magic without a catalyst or stave. Instead, a blessing from Lucelle allows for this ability. Magic and weaponry are also not mutually exclusive. You can use both, however you will not be as skilled in melee weapons as someone who uses them exclusively or have the stamina to use as many magic attacks as someone who uses magic exclusively. As such, melee/magic hybrid fighters can only use their magical abilities 15 times in a battle.
