Laws of Magic

The substance of magic is, by nature, incalculable. Their is no limit to what a working of magic can accomplish, nor are their limits to what that working can be. Attempting to methodically identify the "rules" of magic as a whole is a futile effort, as their really are no rules.

However, their are about five fundamental laws of magic that hold true in all scenarios, mostly due to they themselves being extremely broad in nature. They are as follows:

 First Law of Magic : Practice makes Perfect. Not only does practice improve your understanding of magic, it also literally increases your capacity for mana like exorcising a muscle.

 Second Law of Magic : Intent is Key. A working can be defined as magic commanded into happening through the power of belief and intent. Thus, all magic is created through belief and given form through intent.

 Third Law of Magic : Sacrifice imbues Power. The more ingredients and tools used in a work of magic, the stronger potency it possesses. The time it takes to perform a working is also considered sacrifice.

 Fourth Law of Magic : Magic Done can be Undone. Anything done by magic can conversely be undone or negated via magic, usually magic at around the same level of potency. Their is no such thing as an unbreakable curse

 Fifth Law of Magic : Fate Cannot be Negated. Their are many workings that claim to defy fate, and they indeed provide the desired effect, but it can be said that the means to defy fate were provided by fate itself, which concurs that fate intended said event to happen. See my previous article about the difference between Fate & Destiny.
