It's no mystery that in a futuristic world dominated by both magic and technology, a fusion of the two would be birthed. This is referred to as Magitek, or Magiteks, and usually categorises weapons and machinery which is either powered by mana or a mana/magical based compound (Magic geodes, Essences, Mana water, etc.) or is composed entirely of a magical/magical made compound. The most common type of Magitek is those which are powered entirely by a magical compound.
While magical weapons and items are some of the most common you can find, they are also some of the most expensive, usually costing a person between 1000 and 2000 gold. This makes it the most common around those with a high societal status, something which isn't hard to obtain in such a flourishing world, with each individual location in the world having its own speciality within business.
Magitek weapons do not include weapons which simply conduct or use magical energy, as it has to be a combination between both technology and magic. They are technological weapons (Such as guns) which are powered off of magical energy and have magical effects.
Every type of magic in the world of Quiazal is categorised. Its these categories which help not only with the legalities of the magic, but the understanding of it. The use of uncategorised magic is illegal, publicly or privately, without a distinct license of categorisation or magic science (Abstraction license). These magics are usually reality warping, and can change the physical, effective, temperate and sensual properties of a substance. This is known as perdita, connected to the perdita essence.
Normal players cannot harness the full potential of Perdita magics. While they can use them, warping properties or using it effectively will take your characters a LOT of practise. (At least level 40+)
The use of Corruption and Arcanus magics is illegal and can land your characters explicit punishment for using it openly. Both of these magical forces are extremely dangerous, volatile and unpredictable for the lack of known knowledge around them, and is illegal not just for the power it holds, but for the safety of the general public. Use of these magics once again requires an Abstraction license.
Under magic law 238, the creation of any sort of rift or portal to an alternate dimension or universe (unless one of the deity realms) is strictly prohibited without a Rescinded license. The reason for this being in place is to not only protect the multiverse and the other dimensions, but to protect those who can freely use such magics. Obtaining access to these dimensions and universes should be done appropriately through the public access given by The Hallway of Doors.
Controversial magic is, as its name suggests, magic used within the world which has many varying opinions from varying people and organisations- but is NOT considered to be illegal. This includes magic such as:
Time magic
Radioactive/Corrosive magic
Dark based magic (Shadow manipulation, Blood manipulation etc)
Deceptive magics (Cognitive manipulation)
Ethereal magic, magic without a set construct, usually attaining to spiritual values
These magics, while widely accepted, may affect your reputation when used in front of a certain character or organisation, but cannot and will not get your character in trouble as there are no laws against its usage.
Abstraction License -
An Abstraction license is a high level magic license which allows the usage of either Perdita OR Corruption magic. Obtaining this license is not an easy feat due to the volatility of such magics, and usually originates from having a job which requires working with such dangerous forces. Being a high level worker in areas such as a doorway guard within The Hallway of Doors are the best ways to obtain these licenses. Characters cannot be applied with these essences, they must be earned.
A tier III Abstraction License is required in order to legally use BOTH Perdita and Corruption magic beneath the same license terms. If you do not have a tier III license, two Abstraction licenses of level I or II are required - one attaining to Perdita, and the other to Corruption.
Rescinded License -
Rescinded licenses are travelling licenses, given to those with an affinity for the use of rift and portal magic. These licenses are required to legally portal and rift to alternate dimensions and universes without having to go through The Hallway of Doors and can be obtained by being a worker of a realm jumping based organisation.
Characters cannot be applied with Rescinded Licenses unless they are one of, or a hybrid of, one of the species listed below. These species do NOT require a Rescinded license to rift:
Crimetekka Scorcher
Sentinel
Lesser Genie
Celestial Genie
Limbo/Aeden Walker
Ketu
