When actually they are all very disparate phenomena, electricity being an imbalance of charges, cold is the absence of energy, while heat is an abundance of molecular energy, while fire is a runaway oxidation reaction.

Magic tends to work by taking that aether and shaping it and changing it's aspect so that it stops being a harmless energy flow and instead becomes a concentrated elemental energy - fire, ice, water, electricity etc. - if only for a brief moment Magic is, by definition, "the art of producing a desired effect or result through the use of incantation or various other techniques, that presumably assure human control of supernatural agencies or the forces of nature". The Final Fantasy series feature many different methodologies and schools of magic, which is used in many different ways, manipulating the various forces and essences of nature through knowledge or various items, sometimes even bordering on scientific and technological methods similar to magic itself. It should be noted however that use of Magic in the series is not exclusive to the respective Magic command available in each game. For example games like Final Fantasy IX or Final Fantasy X feature abilities that require MP to use, but that aren't considered on the usual Magic Schools like White or Black, but regardless cause effects that could be considered unnatural or superhuman such as poisoning an enemy, or debilitating him. Some games also feature Limit Break abilities that can range from healing and protective, to destructive blasts of energy or surpassing normal physical boundaries, by attacking an enemy multiple times on succession. These abilities are in most cases used without MP consumption and for gameplay purposes using a different condition or meter to be filled, while in comparison Quickenings do consume MP (albeit segmented in Mist Charges). Much on the same vein Technicks are another system of supernatural abilities that require no MP to be used and is seen as a contrast and parallel to Magick. Therefore although Magic could be considered overall as any manipulation of energies to achieve feats beyond normal human capabilities, the many different abilities with similar workings, makes it impossible to have a true definition of what is Magic and what is not, with said delimitations being explained as in the case of Technicks and sometimes not truly defined, or just separated for gameplay purposes but not further defined. This in exchange makes the range of Magic incredibly vast but also vague RE: Avali Nexus Nonserious RP 1: About Damn Time - Ehksidian - 05-24-2015 (05-24-2015, 12:04 AM)Umbra Wrote:(05-24-2015, 12:00 AM)Ehksidian Wrote: Yeah, it's...really irritating.

Hell, even the genetic stuff I did last night - that's limited exclusively to regenerating damaged (Not lost, damaged, and not even physical damage, just...excessive cell death. Think of it more like "rejuvenation" or something, rather than outright fixing something. Can't fix a shot to the leg, but if your muscles were atrophying from disuse then it could at least restore them to working condition.) and fixing genetic issues someone would be born with (a tendency towards cancer, addictive habit forming, curing a virus-borne disease (not bacterial; viral diseases alter the DNA of a cell, so it could fix certain viral diseases like...say, cold sores, which are caused by a virus tacking on extra DNA that gets activated via certain stimuli) and...that's it. It can't repair a broken arm, it can't fix a lost leg, it can't cure the common cold...it's just something that could do things a normal doctor would, most likely, be unable to do normally. Well, modern docs. It's just extensive, mostly harmless gene therapy.
