Magic Rules

⚡ Magic manifests differently for each being.  A nature based magic user's magic may manifest by falling leaves or the sound of wolf's howl.
⚡ Magic is fueled by emotion, energy, and life.
⚡ A magic user summons magic through will and intent.
⚡ The use of magic is only limited by the strength, skill, and imagination of the magic user.
⚡ Almost everyone can use magic.
⚡ Magic must be learned.
⚡ Magic users of skill are called mages mostly.  It depends on the region.
⚡ Proper use of magic must be learned.  But it can self-taught to a point.  Most mages must be taught how to use magic to prevent harming themselves and others.  There is a risk of "burn out" without proper education.  Burn Out usually ends up with the user killing themselves.  Survivors are ususally brain dead or reduced to the mind of a child and the ability to use magic lost forever.
⚡ There are different factions of magic users.  Most belong to guilds, noblemen, mercenary companies, and kingdoms.
⚡ Anyone can use magic.  The same way anyone can use a sword.  It takes certain skill and practice and education to get to the finer uses.  That's why not everyone is a mage.  Just because you have access to a sword it doesn't mean you want to be a swordsman.
⚡ Magic can be countered, stolen, and grounded by magic and some physical means.
⚡ Magic drains the stamina of the user.  But the more one trains with magic the more magic can be used.
⚡ Magic can be used for altruistic as well as selfish ends.  It is only a tool.  A knife can be used to slice bread or necks.
⚡ Too much magic use risks Burnout.
⚡ A magic user can be defeated by physical or mental damage the same as any other mortal being.
⚡ Using magic can be dangerous.  There are anti-magic factions.  There are anti-magic religions.  Priests whose power come from their deities and see magic use as an abomination.
