I’m sure I’d find much more but I’d rather sleep
Like Level pointed out, a chemical change is a chemical reaction, so I apologize for my wordings right there.
According to my thesis the soul doesn’t store magic energy, but instead manipulates it. It can only do this if you have the magic gene. This allows for spell creation and charging your energy.
Meanwhile, if you don’t have the magic gene the magic energy in your body is useless but goes along with everything vetex says
And the soul takes damage from manipulating magic energy, which is why magic circles exist: almost 2d but channels magic too
Don’t we used to use soul for magic though?
Yes, because it’s possible to emit your soul but that’s useless at this point
Also keep in mind all of this is my hypothesis / theory, and I doubt we’ll really ever know
Meh, if you find more it’ll actually benefits me in a way I guess, I ‘ll have the chance to patch more holes in my theory
Yup
What stores it though? ;-;
If this should be the case, lets assume we just have a central magic storage unit. Alongside this, you have your three minds, and your soul manipulates all the magic energy that goes through this system. My train of thought derailed so if someone has something to add to this…
The body stores it.
Same as how magic energy can be in the air and in the ground and in the sea
Ok, makes sense. Body stores it, then your soul manipulates it through the mind of your choice before going to your spell. The only big hole in this is how charging works, on which I am thoroughly confused.
The soul manipulates the magic energy in the air or ground touching you, and draws it into your body. The magic effect when you do so could be you filtering out tiny increments of magic energy that became magic but didn’t get out of your body, but too small to do harm.
The closer the energy is, the more easily and precisely you / your soul can manipulate it.
One thing I don’t understand is that the magic energy around you is neutral, more or less, before coming through your mind into your magic. Why would it go through your mind before being filtered out of your body when charging?
I don’t know tbh, the charging color thing was just a thought I had. The theory’s still a work in progress
I think the stuff you see when charging is just remnants of a spell you were making that got stuck in your body
How magic works hasn’t been defined and probably never will
Vetex himself said that charging magic is just the body taking magic energy from nearby sources though
Shadow is just the name given to the magic, if it were actual “shadows” of objects then it wouldn’t be particles

Agreed, it has to be made of some substance or energy.
So, are all magics actually the same? But the way the energy has been arranged and how it reacts with the users soul changes the form and properties of it?

Hmm, I know you said you didn’t put much thought into it, but what would you consider to be the referred shadow if you ever have to specify it?
