<Snipped quote by Meta>

-Perseo- Magical energy comes in several forms. The magical energy we use is expressed like chemical energy--energy is expended to fix philotes in a tight structure that, when broken down, enhances the philotic interaction of a being and allows them to perform magic. It can also power devices that perform magic, since magic is partly an expression of philotic interaction.

Wait, so is magic a form of energy or is it its own thing?
