Magic (Sundered Veil)

Magic is a broad term to describe many of the newer phenomenon to occur around the world following the sundering of the veil in 1415. It can apply to both the powers that have arisen in some people, as well as some previously unheard of natural phenomenon.

Arcane
Arcane magic describes the classification of magic utilized by mages and sorcers. It is mostly based on Aristotle's four natural elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, but some arcane scholars have been able to use this type of magic to affect the minds of others, as well as advancing some alchemical theories.

Holy
Holy magic describes the abilities that have arisen in devout abrahamic followers. Its effects mostly fall into several subcategories: Healing, Physical Enhancement, and Inspiration. Some rare extremely devout individuals have managed to create an effect they describe as "Holy Fire" a white hot flame that burns only the unfaithful.

Pagan
Pagan magic is similar to holy magic in that its power seems to arise in devout followers, but in followers of pagan religions or traditions. Its effects are broad and vary from faith to faith. For example, some members of the Cult of Hephaestus have the ability to engulf their weapons in flame, while some of the pagan native peoples of North America have shown the ability to transform themselves into various animal forms.

Instinctual
Instrictual magic is abilities that aren't derived from study or faith, almost always natural abilities. Some examples include lycanthropes and the minor cantrip-like abilities posessed by the Roma.
