All of the types of magic currently

Aug 26, 2025

Base elemental magic:

Wind: Manipulate wind and air. Often considered the most powerful type of base element magic, as it's considered true neutral to the other types.

Psychic: Manipulate people or objects using their mind. It is one of the strongest types, but also one of the ones with the greatest weaknesses to Shadow magic. It is also versatile for tracking, as certain forms can be used to collect knowledge from items or people.

Poison: Control and manipulate poisonous substances. Often considered the most intuitive and easiest magic to study. It is also one of the weakest forms of magic. This is because Steel, Rock, and Mud magic can easily counter it, as they can be used to counter poison.

Fire: Manipulate and control fire. It is often considered the most basic element, despite being slightly harder to learn than poison. It is also shockingly versatile and useful. That said, it is mainly used to destroy things but can be used to cauterize wounds and propel oneself.

Water: Manipulate and control water. Often considered the strongest bass element. It also has the most evolved forms of magic. It is one of the forms of magic with the most prevalent healing. Though it usually heals over time. They are defensively and offensively one of the best typings.

Ice: Manipulate and control ice and snow. Often considered one of the weakest combat magic forms and one of the most dangerous when improperly assessed. It is one of the easiest kinds of magic to counter because of fire, but it is one of the most dangerous because it has no mana cost. The reason it has no magical cost is that ice magic actually works by draining energy and converting it into magic for later. Essentially, ice magic is really the absence of energy rather than the magic user using energy.

Wood: Manipulate and control plants and fungi. Often considered one of the most versatile forms of magic. It is also considered one of the weakest offensively and defensively because of fire and steel magic.

Electric: Manipulate electricity. Often considered to be the weakest type of the base types. This is because it's easily countered by wind magic, which can block lightning strikes by causing so much air resistance that electricity cannot flow through the air. They are also the most reliant type on others, relying on Steel type, magic users' metal manipulation. This is why there's actually a debate on whether or not electricity should remain a type of magic or if it should be folded in with another one. The reason it is not currently is because it has a useful ability of transferring energy in a way that ice magic cannot do. Essentially, being able to power large machinery is what makes this type viable, as they have way more technical options than other types.

Rock: Manipulate rocks. Often considered the most physical of the base elemental types. It is also one of the weirdest. This is because it actually resists sound and electric magic, which none of its evolved counterparts can do. This is why rock is considered a separate type of magic because none of its evolved forms actually have the same niche and usefulness that it seems to have.

Light: Manipulate light. Often, the type is most heavily associated with illusion magic, and the other major type is known for healing magic. This type is often dangerous when used in combination with Spirit or Crystal. This is because these types really combine well with light magic, giving light magic. A really good boost as a support type.

Shadow: Manipulate shadows or darkness. Often used as the most useful type for stealth. It is also a combat type that is pretty good. Unfortunately, it is weak to light magic, which can be used to reduce its attacks.

Advanced types 1:

Sound: Manipulate and control sound. A very refined version of wind magic. It is more useful against Crystal magic than wind magic. It can also be used to produce music and so has a lot of connection to music-based magical fields.

Steel: Manipulate steel and other forms of metal. Very refined version of rock magic. Really great for attack, but also really bad against electric users, as manipulating metal can be distorted or combated by electricity because it alters the magnetic fields that steel users use to manipulate metal.

Crystal: Manipulate carbon and silicone-based crystalline substances. A very refined version of rock magic. It was often seen as a solely defensive type till it saw support use. It has really high support use because of its connection with creating magical weaponry.

Vapor: Control water vapor, or mist. A more advanced form of water manipulation. It is also considered one of the most dangerous evolutions of water magic because it is actually what allows users to manipulate blood. This is because, despite the name vapor, magic is mainly focused on manipulating smaller water particles. This means they have way more advanced capabilities when it comes to manipulating smaller amounts of water, including that in the bloodstream.

Lava: Control and manipulate lava. A very refined form of fire magic. It is also sometimes considered a mix between fire and rock magic, but it's been proven that fire is the main aspect of this type. Often considered the most lethal type of fire magic, as one caster can destroy cities with this kind of magic. Especially considering it's heavily tied to plate tectonics.

Mud: Control and manipulate mud, a really advanced form of rock magic. Often considered a mix of rock and water magic. It also has really great healing properties, which is why it's considered an advanced healing type. It is often better suited for casters who are going for more tanky healing builds. This type is considered to be the most dangerous against fire magic. It also has the best chance at neutralizing lava magic.

Paper: Control and manipulate paper substances. A more refined version of wood magic. It is often considered one of the frilliest types of magic defensively. This is because it's weak to steal, fire, and water. It doesn't fare well defensively against other types, but it has a unique use compared to other types. This unique ability is it's able to create more constructs on a mass scale way quicker. This leads to paper magic users having the ability to essentially create entire armies within a day. The other main use of this type is recording information, as you can apply spells directly to the constructs by writing them down on paper.

Advanced types 2:

Storm: Create and summon storms. A really advanced form of electric, wind, and water magic.

Beast: A really unique, special type of magic, as it's the only advanced type that doesn't directly correlate with the base types. Allows the user to control and communicate with animals. Along with shape-shifting and using their strength.

Special types:

Life: Control and manipulate life itself. This magic is the most advanced form of healing magic. It can be consistently used to bring people back from the dead. It is also the most reliable for doing so. It is often considered a mix between beast, mud, and wood magic.

Death: Often considered the opposite of Life magic, this form of magic is often considered a mix between vapor, poison, and shadow. It is the type of magic that contains the most instant death spells. It also contains spells like raising the dead and manipulating body parts. This is why it's often believed to be partially based on vapor magic, as vapor magic is what is used to manipulate blood. It is often compared to poison magic because it seems to give its users the ability to infect people with diseases similar to how poison works.

Wish: Often considered the advanced version of Ice magic. This is because there are spells within this type to summon meteors, which are mostly created using ice. It is still not fully clear how wish users can grant wishes. It is believed, though, that users with magic have limits and that they cannot produce wishes more than the energy they actually have access to. It's also believed to be a purely creative magic type, as it's been proven that users with this style of magic cannot wish people out of existence or destroy something. Another downside is that it seems users are only able to grant or create so many wishes a day. This limit also cannot be countered using a wish. It also only copies things; it does not give you the originals. It seems that it can only be used to summon or alter what already exists. It's often considered the most advanced form of alteration magic and is often also believed to be derived from Ice because of ice's energy absorption being converted into actually converting matter. It has also been proven that this form of magic can actually be used to manipulate different things under the user's control. In a way, it has the strongest form of mind manipulation magic in existence. It is almost impossible to break.

Fate: One of the most unique types of magic because it relies on the manipulation of something people can't normally see. That is the strings of fate tying people and things together. Essentially, it can be used to alter one's own destiny. This is why it's considered one of the most powerful forms of magic because it allows the user to break the chains of reality that bind them to the future. It can also be used to doom someone else indirectly by rewriting their fate. It also seems to have similar instant death abilities as death magic in some forms because there are apparently strings of fate relating to people's life force.

Space: Allows the user to manipulate gravity and gravitational. Along with tearing through space-time to create portals. It is not the only form of magic that can create portals, but it is said that its portals are more stable than other forms of magic. It can also alter the effects of a spatial environment, allowing the user to effectively alter the spatial distance of an area. This allows them to make distances shorter or longer at will. The gravity manipulation is the main danger when it comes to this form of magic, as combating it is really complicated. It can even be used to alter the alignment of planets at higher skill levels.

Time: Often considered the most energy-consuming type of magic. It is often hard to pull off, even for the most advanced users of this type of magic. This is because it requires a lot of energy to use. It can be used to accelerate or decelerate time. This can affect objects or the environment, or even the person. It can also be used to travel through time, though that is way more cost-inefficient. The most dangerous thing it can do is freeze time. Essentially, turning people into sitting ducks.

Dream: Ultimately, the most dangerous form of construct magic. It is often considered the evolution of vapor and psychic magic. It can often be used to put people to sleep or even invade their dreams. The highest level of users can even bring dreams into the real world, effectively producing nightmares or dreams. This type of magic borders on the line between illusion and reality-altering. This is because, at lower levels, it can actually be used to create psychedelic illusions based on people's hopes and dreams. It can also be horrifically used to torment them using their nightmares. At its manipulation limit, some of the strongest users can create entire constructs from the dream world in reality. This can be used to create weapon buildings. This, though, can only be done through the use of dream sand. This magic comes at the cost that it's extremely emotionally draining for the user to use and causes them to be physically sleepy.

Spirit: This type of magic allows the user to summon spirits and or commune with them to obtain knowledge. This is one of the most interesting types of magic because, depending on the user, their form and practice of this magic is risky, depending on their techniques. These users can also channel spirits, which is considered the most risky form of this ability. The safest form of this ability is considered communicating with spirits in a meditative state. This is still hard though, as it requires a lot of concentration, but a lot less than wish magic. Summoning spirits is considered one of the most useful types of magic imaginable. There is also a technique within this type of magic called exorcism or spirit removal.  Fighting spirit casters can be dangerous because some types of spirits are inherently invisible. 

Love: Contrary to what people would believe, love magic is not just about captivating people into falling in love. In fact, it actually is the category for all magic with emotion-based powers and manipulation. Users of this type of magic can make other people fall in love with each other. They do not have to make targets fall in love with them because they can actually make people fall in love with other people. The other emotionally based powers it can have are emotional manipulation, like causing people fear or pain. This type of magic is actually in a weird place because it entirely began as an attraction-based form of emotional manipulation, and then it was discovered that the same principles of this type could actually be applied to manipulate the emotions of people. This is often considered an evolved form of psychic magic.

Chaos: Also often called luck magic. It mainly involves chance manipulation or gambling styles of magic. This includes types of magic that are often considered wild or random. Often, the users of this type do not actually know what's going to happen when they use it. It can also be used to create devastating disasters. It is the most obscure form of magic. It is also often connected to the butterfly effect. It also actually has some uses that are stable, surprisingly, which is that it inherently counters all mental manipulation magic. It can even break wish magic, which is why it is considered its counterpart or complement.

Legendary:

Soul: There are very few known users of this type. It is so useful that it is considered a counter to most forms of death and destruction magic. This is because it allows the user to mend souls and even reincarnate. Soul magic can also be used to infuse souls and objects
It can also be used to permanently destroy someone's soul, effectively ending their existence permanently, as they will have no other way to reincarnate.

Harmony: A legendary form of magic considered the combination of all types of magic. It's often called rainbow magic as a joke. This is why it's considered one of the most legendary forms of magic, as if another user of this type existed, they would be considered a prophet sent by the universe to write a wrong. This is because even the Ark dragons do not actually know why this type of magic exists. It is theorized, though, that if a large group of people got together with every type of magic and they used all of their powers together, they could theoretically use Harmony magic. It is still questioned how one person theoretically can wield Harmony magic, and the reasons behind Harmony magic users.
