The [[Magic_System]]

Magic in this world is a natural resource, often referred to as The Hum or The Flow. It can be drawn from the earth or from a user's own stamina.

Types of Magic

1. Natural/Potions: This form of magic involves drawing power from ambient sources or ingredients. It is slower and often used for recharging personal energy, creating long-term enchantments, or brewing potions. It is less draining on the user.

2. Foci/Forced: This is the more direct and forceful application of magic, typically channeled through a focus like a wand, staff, or technologically-assisted device. It is faster and more potent for immediate effects (e.g., combat, shields) but draws heavily on the user's own life force, leading to exhaustion.

The quality and access to magical resources are heavily dependent on wealth, creating a clear socio-economic divide.
