Magic is produced via force of will and is mostly free-form however complex formulas can be used to make free form and predictable results. Most spell casters use Addative magic which can alter or create but not destroy (though creating something like a fireball and sure 'destroy' something) subtractive magic can uncreate and truely destroy as well as manipulate the underworld. People who use magic, be they born or taught, usually only have the ability to use one type of magic. A rare few are born with the gift for both (war wizards) and still a few others make demonic pacts to gain subtractive magic. Magic also contains a gender component, males and females access magic in diffrent ways and thusly to have a high success rate in learning to preform magic the teacher should be of the same gender of the student though some limited sucess can occur with diffrent gendered teachers.</blockquote>
