The Arcane Universe is... pretty bleak ngl

wait so you’re telling me that “magic” is a completely separate force from aura

I mean kinda? aura is magic lite basically (edited this part to have a better quote if anybody saw that)

@Vetex

yes, being a mage just means you can summon magic circles to conduct your magic energy through and give it form, everyone else who isn’t a mage can still possess magic energy control, but only to a small degree (which is why most powerful fighting style/weapon users aren’t even aware they are imbuing magic onto their attacks as “aura”, as the boxing mentor says)

it goes: no magic energy use → aura (trace amounts of magic energy) → actual magic (full use of magic energy)

@DubiousLittleTyp0

ounterpoint: sailorfist users absorb seawater magic energy

notice how they need to absorb magic energy from a stronger source to empower themselves

@DubiousLittleTyp0

they can do insanely strong things so erm clearly berserkers can use this “magic” energy too

I never disputed that, aura does use magic energy just not to the same extent as magic

@DubiousLittleTyp0

what makes a magic blast, supposedly stronger than, say, an axe slash?

well a magic blast is a basic spell for magic users while axe slash is a rare technique
