Sooooooooooo to stop derailing various topics about the implications of spirit and magic, and what its applications are I will discuss all probabilities of this funky magic system here.
Now, the laws of spirit and magic (tell me so I can edit if retconned or false):
Spirit cannot be used to create new mass, only redefine/influence the amount in a certain area, only able to be controlled by gods, legacies and titans (?).
Magic cannot directly affect the environment or transmutate mass like spirit can; only being able to emulate the intent of the caster (metal magic not being legit metal) as a consequence of actually being a sort of energy, which all spells will return to after a duration.
Neither spirit or magic spells unless under certain circumstances will last forever unless under certain conditions such as:
- Being a god/titan
- Being a curse user
Most of this is taken from the book of athena, and if anyone has any screenshots of otherwise let me know. I will incorporate screenshots from the book itself at a later time.
