Magical Energy

Magical Energy or, Magic, is a defining form of power in Northbound: The Chariot Girls. It is the manipulation of inherit magic that lies within everyone, those who are able to use Magical Energy are often called Mages, Practitioners, and in some unique cases, Witchbloods.

History
Originally, clues have lead up to Sir Enoch of the Silver Paladins from the War of the Gods being the father of all magic. At the end of the war, in order to prevent what is theorized to have been an event known as The End of The World, Sir Enoch performed his Grand Feat known as God's Parting; which dispersed any and all Authority used by the Gods to start such an event, and scattered its energy across the world. Recreating what would have been another recreation of the world, into what we now know as the birth of Magic.

This Grand Feat allowed the mortal races to be able to use the powers the gods they once worshipped as their own.

Since the War of the Gods, regulations and institutions such as the Mage's College were built in order to spread these teachings down to future generations. The implementation of a spell system was also called into action, being able to properly categorize different uses for magical energy. While the categorization was, at the time needed, this strict system of spells and their original intention for categorical purposes was lost to future generations, simply viewing it as the only way magic can be used. This stagnated and limited Practitioners and thusly made the categorization of the spell system ineffective.

In the era of fading Magics, the art has become a more freeform platform for modern Mages. The disregard for tradition in the last few centuries (most likely due to the colonization of the Frontier) allowed magic to not be restricted to a strict spell system or formal learning from an institution. Instead, Magical Energy has transformed to a more individualized use of the arts, being treated more comparably to physical training of the body. Everyone respectively has their own limits, but the measure of magical energy output is not a measure of how competent or powerful of a Practitioner you are. In the Frontier, as there is little to no nobility or royalty abound within these lands, the regard for magic does not have the elitism of the Noble Families from the other homelands gatekeeping and manipulating regulations of the art to themselves.
