Magic Introduction

Magic in Folia does not follow any known central system. Though some magi will rely on magic flowing from a single source, every instance of magic, every spell, are unique secrets that must be understood on their own in order to be applied. Worldwide understanding of these secrets is very low, despite their being many instances of magic in the natural world. Magi tend to take their secrets to their graves, not wishing for the work that they did to discover it to be taken and used against them by someone else. For these reasons, magical items are rare, and the best sources of arcane knowledge are usually conversations with souls of dead mages, and the records left behind by those who died prematurely.
