"Don't worry, magic is easy; almost every race uses magic. And the ones that don't use magic have something to make up for it; humans are not included."
"so, if I can't use magic, what does it mean?"
"If you can't use magic, it means you'll have to fight everything physically, which you won't have to do because 'everybody' can use magic."
"no, but like, what if-"
"Stop with the damn "what ifs" and just pay attention to what I tell you."
...
Magic is simple. Every race can use magic except Demons and Angels. Angels use Divinity given by God so they can bless and purify the masses. Divinity can also strengthen Angels to their top potential. The strongest of angels can wipe out a human life just by thinking about it.
While Demons use Demonic Energy. Demonic Energy can strengthen Demons like Angels, but that's where the similarity ends. Demonic energy allows you to corrupt humans and turn them into Demons; the strongest Demons almost like Angels, can turn countries into Demons.
But every other race works with magic. Magic doesn't have any ranks or power system. You are born with magic so, if you have low mana since birth you cannot increase it at all; the best mages are set from birth. One can check their mana level by just using a simple spell.
Every race has their own type of magic that they specialize in.
Elves have spirit.
Humans have elements.
Vampires have blood.
Orcs have strengthened.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. Magic has no limits, you can make a spell that can wipe out a planet, or a spell that can revive the dead; revival spells are taboo.
If you use revival magic, either two things will happen to you. 1 you will be pulled into hell immediately and get tortured, or 2 the Grim Reaper will come after you and then you'll be pulled into hell. Remember this: the dead should not be revived; that is the rule of God.
...
"And so you should never use revival magic."
"you're acting like i'm gonna do it..."
The demon put his face to mine. "Well, are you?"
God! His breath smelled disgusting; it smelled like rotting fish.
"obviously not, i should respect the dead."
"Good, then let's figure out your mana level. First, just think about an element that could be water, fire, or whatever; I don't care. Then just imagine that element in your hand, and poof it should work.
Ok, so let's think about a forest fire. Trees burning, the smell of burnt wood. Fire out of my palm.
"and... nothing."
"Try something else; not every human can use a new element."
Ok, so a waterfall, water flowing down, fish swimming. And finally, water spouting out.
"nnd... nothing again."
...
"AHAHAHA. I never thought I could find someone who couldn't use magic in my five thousand years of living. Even a toddler can use magic, but you can't."
"shut up! you damn demon, i can use magic."
I try to channel everything I have. I was thinking about anything water, fire, plant, dirt. I feel distraught; I can't even do a simple baby spell. That bastard even said, "Don't worry, anyone can do magic, even toddlers. "that fucker was lying! NOT EVERYONE CAN USE MAGIC!
