Magic it self ISNT really anything, it isnt energy, matter, mind or anything. there is no such thing as "magic" or "magic is something" forget the whole idea :) instead try this : the gods made the universe in such way that everything consists from primal particles. these particles from patterns, and these patterns create and shape things like life, time, space, matter, energy, spirit, mind, etc.. but that particle or these things are not magic - this is just the answer to 'what the universe is made of' Then magic is = magic is the event when you manipulate these patterns. When you change the patterns energy and create a fireball you manipulate the reality around you - shape the various patterns to suit your purpose. magic is that EVENT.. it isnt any one abstract thing. Manipulating reality is called magic. But it really is the very event where you shape the form of the universe. This the wireframe model to explain it all : we have one primal praticle: . then many particles create a pattern . ... ....... .... ......... ..... ..... .. then many patterns create the whole pattern of life (forexample) ........ . . . .......... . . . . ............ . . . ............ . ........... . . ......... .. .. ....... . . .. ........ . .......... . ........ .. .......... . .. . ........... . . . ............ . . ... . . .. .. . ..... . . .. .. Okay then the art of magic is the event where you do this : ... .... ... ... ..... ...... ..... -> ..... ... ... ... .... You change the pattern, or a part of a pattern to something else. For example : a mage casts a spell that is "slaying spell of elves" what this spell does is that it attacks the pattern of life on elves, and possibly dissolves it = result being death. okay need i explain more? :) i will if i need to.. i try to make this as clear as possible. - mandor
