The meaning of magic.

To put it simply, magic relies on mental power to achieve a certain purpose, which is completely different from physical magic.

For example, to materialize certain virtual things, such as: mirror magic (or illusion, etc.), you can copy certain enemies to make them fight against you, and to activate certain supernatural powers, such as: Doomsday Judgment (Doomsday Dusk)

Or great destruction, etc.), using heavenly fire to plunge the battlefield into a violent and devastating attack on everyone.

etc., which will not be described again.

The dictionary description of magic is: the magic of demons.

witchcraft.

Magic is a spiritual art, and there is no Datong view of its meaning. I personally believe that the meaning of magic lies in the transfer or transformation of energy and matter using the spirit as the source of power. It possesses supreme power and can be controlled through spiritual power.

Accomplish many unimaginable things.

The origin of magic. The description of magic has long been described in both the East and the West. In the East, it is mostly called: witchcraft, fairy magic, illusion... Most of them can control wind and rain. Please refer to the literature for details.

Let’s focus on Western magic. The following is entirely my personal opinion: Regarding Western magic, to talk about magic, we must first talk about Western beliefs. Western magic is mostly based on faith. The earliest ancient magical behaviors may have started from various forms of the gods.

strength.

(There is also a theory created by the "Father of Magic" Sakabidiev) Generally speaking, if you want to acquire magic skills, you must first have books to learn gradually, but who was the first person to write books?

How did they gain their magical abilities?

Of course, it must be "created" by the gods, and then devout believers will learn the basic spells and mental states from the messengers of the gods or communicate with the spirits of the gods, and then understand them themselves, and then carry them forward to create all kinds of magic.

People will ask: Why do you think so?

What's the basis?

Here I want to talk about a digression, namely: Tarot cards.

The word "Tarot" is derived from the Egyptian words tar (Tao) and Ro (King), which means "King".

Therefore, "Tarot" itself refers to the correct decision-making ability that a king should possess. This is also the origin of this divination method.

It is said that originally "Tarot" was not used for divination in the form of cards. It was just a "Book of Tarot", a mysterious book specially used to convey the will of the gods.

Whenever the ancient pharaohs had any difficult problems that needed to be solved, they would open this book and all the problems would be solved.

Later, when the Egyptian dynasty was tragically destroyed, in order to prevent this mysterious book from falling into the hands of foreign nations, it was painted on a card in the form of a picture and delivered to the priests.

Later it was introduced to Europe through the hands of Alexander.

Around the Middle Ages, the Tarot cards we play today were formed.

Therefore, I firmly believe that the power contained in Tarot cards is a kind of magic power, and the card spirit is the soul of each card (I think not every deck of cards has a card spirit, but if there is, it will not be a single card spirit.

card spirit), everyone will have a main card in each deck of Major Arcana, which is your guardian card spirit (people who think that there is a card spirit in a deck of cards will think that this card is the position of the card spirit or

My position in the Tarot), my guardian card spirit is "The Hanged Man".

This ends the introduction to Tarot. As you can see, Tarot’s magical power (or supernatural power) comes from God.

Then my theory of gods creating magic should not be difficult to understand.

Classification of magic: First of all, there are many ways to classify magic. Sex classification, attribute classification and purpose classification are the three most common ways.

The first is the classification of magic, which is a classification of magic based on human logical concepts. It is relatively simple and mainly divided into black magic and white magic. Some unclassified magic is also regarded as neutral magic (gray magic).

White magic is light magic, also known as positive magic and goodwill magic.

For things whose nature tends to be on the light side, how does light feel to people?

Of course it is warm, comfortable and kind.

Therefore, most white magic is mainly for maintenance, which is divided into direct maintenance and indirect maintenance. It is basically divided into life, favor and protection.

Example: For example, the simplest healing technique is to directly maintain white magic, and blessing is to indirectly maintain white magic.

Magicians who use white magic are mostly called "priests".

Other professions that use white magic are often given the word "holy" to take the sacred meaning of light.

Regarding the ban on white magic, users of white magic are worshipers of God and must be loyal to God. Banning white magic is mostly magic that disrupts the order set by God. For example, if you use resurrection magic on people who have died normally, you will be punished by God.

ruling.

Black magic is dark magic, also known as negative magic, vicious magic, etc.

Sexuality, of course, tends toward the dark side. Since it is the dark side, most of it is inseparable from harm, fear, suffering, and the like.

Therefore, most black magic is based on persecution. Like light, it is divided into direct persecution and indirect persecution. It is basically divided into undead, curses and attacks.

Example: In the simplest form, fireball is a direct persecution of black magic, and a curse is an indirect persecution of black magic.

There are special ones, such as: the necromancer's manipulation of corpses, which can be counted as indirect persecution of black magic, and the black magic summoning system, as opposed to the resurrection of white magic.

Magicians who use black magic are mostly called "wizards".

Other professions that use black magic are often given the word "evil" to take on the dark and evil meaning, for example: Jian Xie (opposite of Juggernaut).

Black magic, with few exceptions, will come back to bite the caster.
