Magic. To some, it is a mundane tool used for everyday life. For others, specifically wizards, magic is an art and they devoted their lives to its practice. Banded together into magical guilds, they use their skills in search of fame and fortune. However, there are some that use magic as their only means of survival. An ally to help them survive the harsh conditions that they are living through. If the magic of Fiore is seen as more diverse and free, seen everywhere while being able to be learned by anyone. The magic of the Dark Continent is more restrictive and honed, while other means of fighting are also present. If Fiore's magic is like that of a knife, the magic of the Dark Continent is like a sword. Both can be weapons, but while a knife can serve more than one purpose, a sword is only made for one purpose. Magic is freedom. However, depending on who uses this freedom, while magic can bring some utter hope with merely one glance at it.......there is some magic that people will fear once it's name is uttered.
