| Magic by itself is simply energy provided by the Infinites. This energy however, is highly influenced by what modern arcanists call Intention - a will that shapes and applies forces to that energy to give attenuation and function. Some intention is more implied and emotional, such as in primal magics like manipulating the Elements, and influencing Growth, whereas others require explicit Intention, such as the arcane magics like Temporal or Spatial forces. | Magic by itself is simply energy provided by the Infinites.

| The Infinite Source for all other magical forces native to the Shards, Core is the essence of pure power. Raw energy born of the Infinites and poured into Nerasa in stupendous amounts to form the wellspring of magic that gives life to the Shards to this day. Every form of traditional magic, and every native Force in the cosmos uses Core as its Infinite Source. | The Infinite Source for all other magical forces native to the Shards, Core is the essence of pure power.

| Utilizing Core on its own, one can use it to not only empower and manipulate forces of magic to weave spells, but to actually enhance or even disperse magical effects that have been created by others - such as removing curses, or strengthening a barrier. In this pure state, Core energy resembles a bright white light tinged with a rainbow iridescence. | Utilizing Core on its own, one can use it to not only empower and manipulate forces of magic to weave spells, but to actually enhance or even disperse magical effects that have been created by others - such as removing curses, or strengthening a barrier.

| Before the times of the Shattering, it is said that each of the Infinites provided their own Infinite Source for the magics they wielded - drawn from the Infinite Realm and bended to purpose by their immense will. This theory is made all the more valid by the energy of the Sorrows being attributed entirely to the Infinite Szekaris. | Before the times of the Shattering, it is said that each of the Infinites provided their own Infinite Source for the magics they wielded - drawn from the Infinite Realm and bended to purpose by their immense will.

| - | While the Core energy we have in modern Nerasa is the result of outpouring energy of all of the Infinites present at the time of the Shattering, there are times where the energies of the Infinites on an individual level are visible - either through the magic forces they sculpted, or in the rare instances that untouched Infinite energies are found retained in ancient Caretaker ruins. | + | While the Core energy we have in modern Nerasa is the result of outpouring energy of all of the Infinites present at the time of the Shattering, there are times where the energies of the Infinites on an individual level are visible - either through the magic forces they sculpted, or in the rare instances that untouched Infinite energies are found retained in ancient Caretaker ruins.</ |

| The Other is markedly strange. Created by the Infinite Oristasz, the Other - or Orasza - is believed to be a shadow of the realm that Nerasa once was, though twisted by dubious purpose and ultimately incomplete. | The Other is markedly strange.

| Other operates in a manner clearly similar to Core magic, affected by intention and emotion to produce a variety of effects. What makes it different however is that the apparent magical effects produced by spellcraft using Other magic as a source, result in markedly different effects than those performed using Core. When exposed to Core energy, Other magic is effectively dispelled and dispersed, and seems clearly weaker than Core when not in Orasza itself. | Other operates in a manner clearly similar to Core magic, affected by intention and emotion to produce a variety of effects.

| - | === Sorrow === | + | ==== Sorrow |
| Sometimes called Szekarin power, or Corruption, Sorrow is the Infinite Source of Szekaris - the Fallen Infinite, and the force of the Sorrows. Believed to have been destroyed in the Shattering of Nerasa some eons in the past, the only source of Sorrow was the Foulheart; a collection of crystalline energy representing the body of the fallen Infinite. When contained in this way, the power of Sorrow was limited and weak and only useful when a Spancrystal or other tangible source of the energy could be brought to bear. | Sometimes called Szekarin power, or Corruption, Sorrow is the Infinite Source of Szekaris - the Fallen Infinite, and the force of the Sorrows.

| Like any Infinite Source, Sorrow can be applied to any of the magical forces to create a variety of effects. As the Infinite of Change, Szekaris’ power is chaotic and hard to control, and has a similar effect on the forces it is applied to - making them potent, changing, but difficult to contain or master. | Like any Infinite Source, Sorrow can be applied to any of the magical forces to create a variety of effects.
