origin of magic
|             The origin of magic is often of great debate and curiosity. It is not known   exactly  when it came about, who (or what) first used   it, and whether or not it existed when  humanity first came into existence, or if it   has been here since the Earth came into  existence. Most modern lore masters will tell   you a tale of magic’s first use, if you pay  them a handsome fee. They will tell you that   magic, like fire, was discovered many years  ago before man knew he was different from the   animals and plants around him. Of  course, this is just superstition and long   (very long indeed) fables. The fact of the matter  is that magic, at least what modern users of   know of magic, has a much deeper history.             “Magic”, as it is called by modern users, is not really at all what it   has been  portrayed. Indeed, muggles gave “magic” its   name due to the fact that it was a force or  power that they could not harness and seemed   impossible to use or to even exist. The  term stuck with wizards though. “Magic” refers   to a force or power that makes  something happen out of nowhere. This is as   far from the truth as possible in many  aspects. Magic has a very traceable and factual   existence, and it is continually being  researched by modern wizard scholars.             Magic, in its simplest form, is a force or power that an organism can use   in his or  her (or its) world around them. Magic has been   in existence since the formation of the  universe and it permeates everything in its   path. Magic is a type of energy which has the  ability to manipulate matter, space, and time.   Power is not typically an asset in magic,  such as a casters ability to wield magic. A   caster can have a great power in using magic,  but a person who has a lesser power of magic   is quite capable of achieving the same  results as a person who has greater magical   prowess. |
