Magic



Magic is a supernatural power which allows the user to perform miraculous feats. It is only possessed naturally by demons and each individual utilizes their own unique magic. Humans can only possess magic if wounded by a demon, which grants them their own variety of magic separate from the demon who wounded them.

Description
Demons and those with demon blood are the only ones naturally born with magic. This includes the instinctual knowledge of what their magic is and how to use it. When a human is infected by a demon, forming their own magic, they are not granted that knowledge and their magic is much more volatile as a result of them being unable to control it. The magic of demons shows in their hair, while for humans it shows in the color of their eyes.

A demon can only use magic because of their core, which acts as a catalyst allowing them to convert raw energy into magic. The removal of the core would cut off their magic, although it also results in death for demons. It is because humans are not born with cores that they cannot naturally possess magic. When a human is infected, their eyes become pseudo-cores, meaning removal of the eyes would cut off their magic. This is the reason officially recognized Serpents have one of their eyes removed, halving their magical output.

Weaknesses
As each magic is different from the next, each will have its own weakness. As well, the stronger the user's magic, the less likely there will be a weakness to exploit.

The sole weakness all magic shares is to Perception. When viewed through Perception, any magic can be cut through and nullified. Although, even with this ability, the only weapons capable of cutting through magic are magic itself and the black blades carried by Sentinels of Humanity. However, the magic of a True demon is far too strong to be totally severed and can only be weakened.
