In this world, magic flows through Veins — natural conduits in the body that channel raw energy called Resonance. Every individual is born with a unique Affinity, a subtle alignment that shapes how their Resonance manifests: fire, shadow, kinetic force, or rarer, unstable forms.

It’s not the spell itself, but the power behind it — like electricity before it’s channeled into machines.
