"The language of the Mystic Arts is as old as civilization. The sorcerers of antiquity called the use of this language "spells", but if that word offends your modern sensibilities, you can call it a "program"; the source code that shapes reality. We harness energy drawn from other dimensions of the Multiverse to cast spells, to conjure shields and weapons, to make magic."
― The Ancient One (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
"Phasmatos Tribum, Nas Ex Veras, Sequitas Sanguinem."
― Locator Spell (The Vampire Diaries/Originals)

The power to cast spells. Sub-power of Spell Manipulation and Magic Arts. Basis of Magic. Variation of Effect Generation. Magical version of Formula Manifestation. Opposite to Anti-Spell Casting.

Capabilities[]

The user can cast spells, mystic art through which users harness the mystical forces of the supernatural world to invoke specific magical effects and phenomenons. These effects are guided and governed by meticulously structured formulae that produces a diverse array of expressions that can mystically effect their reality by channelling mystical energies in a myriad of ways that spellcasters bring these formulae to life, wielding the power to shape their world according to their command.

Spells can be formulated by a variety of methods, but the core and key to spell casting; is pure, clear and focused intentions. It’s through will and intent that determines the nature and function of the spells when casted thus achieving the result that casters want. Often, the effectiveness of these spells is further augmented by intrinsic components that lend potency to the mystical workings. These components can take various forms such as words, arcane symbols, incantations, specific thoughts, gestures, rituals, or even the utilization of enchanted items like wands, with some spells even contingent upon celestial alignments.

Once cast, spells seamlessly adapt to the caster's intent and the specific formulae to give it form in any way such as offensive spells manifest as potent energy rays, elemental manipulations like pyrokinesis, or other destructive forces. Defensive spells materialize as protective barriers, the ability to phase through matter, or shields against magical or physical harm. Supportive spells gift the caster with enhanced physical abilities, such as superhuman strength, heightened agility, or the power of teleportation. The versatility of spellcasting is further exemplified by spells becoming a physically manifestion or embodiedment, taking the form of tangible objects, intricate markings, geometric patterns , or other magical constructs.

Within the hierarchy of spellcasting, practitioners progress from novices to masters, unraveling the profound mysteries of the arcane with each step. Novices acquaint themselves with fundamental spells, mastering the building blocks of incantations, symbols, and rituals. Intermediate practitioners delve into an array of spell types, exploring the realms of offensive, defensive, and supportive magic. Advanced spellcasters wield formidable spells, expertly manipulating reality, bending the very laws of physics to their will, and ultimately achieving the pinnacle of mastery, which includes the art of nonverbal spellcasting.
