This is a world where people wield magic or passive skills. Sometimes both.
It's a world where people are born with one or many innate elemental magics or passive skills and through continuous training they refine their magic and gain new skills relating to that magic.
From the very existence of this world, there exists an entity known as "The System" which displays one's Level and Skills when the user wants it to. But nobody knows the origin of "The System" and frankly nobody cared to find its origin.
When a child is 5 years old, it starts to show signs of magic. If magic output is not detected, then it is assumed that the child was born with one or many passive skills.
When the child wishes to know its magic element or passive skills, it would simply think of its status. A floating circle would appear above any of his body parts, typically above the hands with symbols and a screen with different information(Status screen) would appear in front of the child.
Suppose, a child is born with one innate element,i.e fire, then the child would have only the fire symbol in the floating circle but if he had two elements, suppose fire and ice ,then in half part of the circle, there would be fire symbol and the ice symbol would be on the other half. But when a child is born with 3 elements or more, then the shaping of his floating circle would be different. One of the 3 elements would become the core element which will stay in the middle of the circle and the rest will be placed around it.
Now, if a child was only born with passive skills, it would have no floating circle but just the status screen.
Being born without magic doesn't mean one is weak. It could be that the child was born with a passive skill that nullifies all attack magic that comes before him thus making him invinsible infront of a mage.
The Status screen states Passive Skills, Physical Skills, Magical skills and Equipments. It also displays user's name, titles and level.
Passive skills are the skills that one is born with. Physical skills are the skills which are acquired through continious training with a single weapon. Each weapon has different types of skills and depending on whether you have magic or not, those physical skills may or may not be affected.
Magical skills, as you guessed by the name, are skills that are gained through training and refining of one's own magic. Equipments section of the status screen shows what the user has currently equipped.
Physical and Magical skills also have levels which are displayed beside them while Passive skills have class which can be upgraded through repetitive use.
Equipments have both Levels and Rank. The higher the Rank, the higher it can level up.
Profits of having The System is its storage facility and description features. You can conveniently take out or put stuff into the storage section of the status screen just like a game and whenever you find any new equipment or materials, its description will be recorded within the System's 'Info' option.
