Magic in the universe
In the Xenoplant universe, magic is rather common and is just harnessing natural energy and life force and using
these forces in daily life. This natural energy lives and functions in tandem with modern technology, sometimes even merging it.
Scientists and mages both roam this unique and bizarre techno-magic world.
Using tools like sigils, scrolls, herbal mixtures, and magical staffs, the energy and flow of the
universe can be tapped into and used to fulfill certain needs and desires.
All living things have some level of magic sensitivity, ranging from alpha to gamma senses.
Certain species and bloodlines cary unique abilities.

AlphaALPHAS are the only individuals who can use magic without the use of a physical conduit like a rune or a magical talisman.
Power levels are measured from 1-10. These alphas are uncommon, naturally resilient, but difficult to spot in a crowd as there's nothing physical that can identify an alpha. |
BetaBETAS have no significant magical ability, but they have a sixth sense about unseen forces in the universe.
They can practice many skills such as scrying, voodoo, aura reading, alchemy, and potionmaking with ease. Betas frequently carry personalized staffs to amplify their powers. |
GammaGAMMAS are also known as the 'sightless'. They aren't able to tap into any sort of magic source, barely sense its presence without unique circumstances, and are generally disconnected from the non-physical world as a whole.
It takes considerable spiritual training for gammas to gain any magical awareness. |
Since magic is simply the action of tapping into natural forces and potential energy, there are only a small number of genuine
magical practices. Many are fraudulent.
Clairvoyance, although possible, is an astronomically rare ability. More often than not, someone who claims to have
true future sight is a conartist.
Although alpha magic users can conjure up energy on their own, beta and gammas can combine their energy to produce a similar effect.
This can only be done by physical contact, i.e. holding hands, hugging, or linking arms.
