REALIGNING REALITY
Conceptual Magic follows the idea that magic may operate under its own form of rules and laws, but that the connections between them are more in line with thematic association, rather than any sort of quantifiable scientific understanding or rational connection. While defying known physical laws is to be expected of a supernatural force, these forms of magic grant powers and abilities based on cultural connotations and superstitions relating to their theme.
Most Conceptual Magics are forged in relation to humanity,
and thus are based around a human bias. Non-human creatures may possess the
same category of magic, but understand it differently, and this may effect how
they are able to use it. For most cases, however, the human method should be
considered the default. While it is possible for a branch of Concept Magic to
evolve over time, most retain their initial manifestation; once established, it
will cement its own rules into place, by way of its use re-enforcing the Concept
it is based on.
There are many different variations of Concept Magic, and
each operates under their own unique systems. Concept Magics may exist on
worlds right along other forms of magic that they resemble, and thus, can be
easily confused with other types of mysticism. Categorizing such Magics mainly
comes down to identifying certain key attributes.
