### Current Magic System Elements

1. Bloodline-Based Magic

 - Noble families have enhanced magical circuits

 - Specific families have signature abilities (Vale's golden flames, Blackwood's ice)

 - Traditionally believed to be superior to common magic

 - Requires generations of enhancement

2. Common Magic

 - Previously considered inferior

 - Actually more efficient but underdeveloped

 - Can be enhanced to match noble magic with proper understanding

 - More flexible than bloodline magic

3. Divine Magic

 - Used by the Church of the Seven Stars

 - Actually advanced light manipulation

 - Systematic suppression of its true nature

#### Magic Foundation

1. Magical Circuits

 - Natural pathways for magical energy

 - Common circuits: More efficient but untrained

 - Noble circuits: Artificially enhanced over generations

 - Can be developed through understanding and practice

2. Mana Types

 - Base mana (common to all)

 - Enhanced mana (traditionally noble-only)

 - Crystallized mana (advanced form)

 - Hybrid mana (Aldrich's innovation)

3.  Power Scaling

 - Level 1: Basic manipulation (common magic)

 - Level 2: Element specialization

 - Level 3: Advanced techniques (noble-level)

 - Level 4: Hybrid techniques (Aldrich's innovations)

 - Level 5: System-breaking techniques
