[u][i][b]Mana:[/b][/i][/u]
Mana is the life force of magic in the world of Oriast and connects all realms of existence. It is used to cast spells, enchant objects, heal, and even summon creatures from the Supernatural World. Mana is both an internal and external source of power. Internally it is present within every living being and the amount of Mana a person naturally possess determines their affinity towards magic. Externally Mana exists in the very environment itself and can be manipulated by wizards to strengthen their own internal source of Mana to make their spells more potent. Manipulating external Mana is far more difficult and dangerous but is also much more powerful.

[u][i][b]Elemental Magic:[/b][/i][/u] 
Elemental magic (also known as battle magic) is the art of using Mana to create magical fire, ice, electricity, or telekinetic force to harm an opponent. Elemental magic is obviously dangerous and is the most widespread use of magic. It uses a fair amount of Mana and the damage it deals is dependent on the skill of the user like all forms of magic.

[u][i][b]Warding Magic:[/b][/i][/u]
Warding magic focuses on creating magical shields to protect against harm. Different types of wards are needed to protect against different types of attack. For example, when being attacked by elemental fire a mage must use a fire ward spell to protect himself. When being attacked by sword or arrows a physical ward is needed. Warding magic can either be used to protect a single individual or entire armies depending on skill and available Mana. 

[b][i][u]Healing Magic:[/u][/i][/b] 
Healing magic is seen as the most benevolent form of magic for obvious reasons. It is also hard to master. Healing magic can be used to heal both wounds and disease but there are somethings even healing magic cannot fix. (Such as death) Healing magic is often used by members of the Castian Church.

[b][i][u]Dark Magic: [/u][/i][/b]
Dark magic is seen as being evil and is believed to have been created by the Arch Demon in order to turn souls away from the Promised Land. Dark magic includes summoning monsters from the Supernatural world, necromancy, mind control, and blood magic. Blood Magic is considered the worst of all dark magic because it corrupts the Mana used in casting blood spells. It is believed that Emperor Pullo used Blood Magic during the Fall of Saria. 

[u][i][b]Enchanting:[/b][/i][/u]
Enchanting is the art of magically altering weapons, armor, or objects. This ranges everywhere from a talisman that brings luck to flaming swords. Enchanting can also be used in dark magic as Voodoo is becoming more and more popular amongst the more unsavory mages in the world.     

[u][i][b]Common:[/b][/i][/u]
Common are people who do not have the ability to use magic in any shape or form. Common people are the most common in the world and are not able to use Mana in any way. Hell most don’t even know what Mana is.

[u][i][b]Mage:[/b][/i][/u]
A mage is a magic user that can only use the Mana within themselves. They are completely unable to manipulate external Mana and their ability largely depends on the amount of Mana a person possess within themselves. Personal Mana can be increased through intense training and meditation. Mages are the most common magic users.

[b][i][u]Witch/Warlock:[/u][/i][/b]
A witch/warlock is a person only capable of manipulating external Mana. Their abilities are much more dangerous to themselves than a mages and it takes years of practice to master even the simplest of spells. Witches/warlocks are completely dependent on external mana and usually cannot cast a spell without the help of complex rituals and tools.

[u][b][i]Wizards:[/i][/b][/u]
Wizards are the least common magic users and are capable of using both internal and external Mana to create spells. This also means that they are the most powerful of all magic users. Wizards are the capable when it comes to using magic and are capable of casting truly powerful spells. Emperor Pullo, the High Priest of the Cult of Pullo, and Florian Serrer are all famous wizards.
