The basic magic system for humans I have right now.
Magic is like a programing language, meaning anyone can learn it but not everyone is good at it.
To cast spells, spiritual power is needed. It is gained by meditation and also some people naturally have more.
Magic can do some amazing things, but it can not fully resurrect the dead and can't make someone young forever.
People can use magic to live forever, but it's the most complex spell and you still age....
Depending on the spells power and complexity, doing it wrong can cause anything from harmless sparks to instant death. Wands and staffs are not strictly necessary to cast spells, but some people find it easier to do so. Magic can transform objects, but the mass stays the same. Magic can enhance the natural properties of matter. Example a very well made sword can be even better with magic, but a poorly made sword won't match the others performance with or without magic.
There are several types of magic, most of them can only be used by certain beings.
Human magic is very versatile but not as powerful as other types.
Nature magic can only speed up and control natural events, it can not do anything that does not naturally happen.
Demonic magic does not protect or heal. It can grant amazing power, but at the cost of sanity and morality. Example someone using demonic magic can become superhumanly strong, but will start to have homicidal thoughts and fits of rage.
Dragon magic is as versatile as human magic and the most powerful magic. But only dragonkind can use it and it requires more spiritual power. Also dragon magic is not subject to all the rules, it can make a human forever young, but the person will take on dragon characteristics and slowly turn into a dragon! It still can't raise the dead though.
Well, what do you think?
