In Leotera, and throughout the four realms, magic has a system that allows it to work the way it does.

Individuals often have a specific affinity for one of the four classes (or subclasses) of magic, Elemental, Technical, Divine, or Raw. This affinity can differ base on race, genetics, or significant life events/trauma. Some individuals can have affinities for several subclasses of magic, or even several classes of magic, although this phenomenon is extremely rare. Some Affinities and Classes of Magic are listed below.

Affinities often develop at an early stage in life, anywhere between the ages of 5-8. Late development often is the result of 1 of 2 reasons: 1) MDS, also known as Magic Deficiency Syndrome, or 2) a high amount of magic energy.

Magic Energy is a separate entity that coexists with physical energy. It often responds to mental stimulation, namely emotions. The more Magic Energy an individual has, the more power they have. Magic Energy travels between the Planes of Magic, which are layers of reality that connect to one of the four classes of magic. Magic Energy can grow at different rates depending on race, with humans having the highest capacity for growing Magic Energy. An Individual sacrifices their Magic Energy for the ability to cast a spell synonymous with their affinity, which links them the matching Plane of Magic. Once all of an individual's Magic Energy has been used, they will then begin to sacrifice Physical Energy to use magic. This can be dangerous, causing severe injury and even death, if more energy than available is used.
