I once suggested that magic is tool created by the gods and with this tool they created the whole Majik. To control magic they created symbols which mortals imitate with gestures, words etc. Magic is energy which keeps all things together so everything has magic (rocks, people, planet etc). When someone uses magic he simply transforms one form of magic to another form. So in theory if a mage want's turn a rock to a flower he already might have enough magic in the rock so there's no need to tap any further power. If the same mage wants create something he must for example tap magic from himself and if he changes too much his own magic to another form of magic he might destroy himself. This would prevent mages from creating dragons from thin air because they wouldn't have enough personal magic to do it and would make those with more mass and size better creators. However, there is always possibility for external magic source (mage could transform hill to dragon). People disliked this idea because it was too ripoff. However my opinion is that different things should affect different ways to use magic. Those with high agility could be good in gestures, those with strong body could more easily create things using their own body magic etc - Beregar (Beregar@majik.netti.fi)
