Magic Structure
===============

Most magic is divided into two categories: evocation and ritual. Evocations are done primarily with mental power, while rituals are primarily done with symbols, circles.

Unua
----

The magical language is called Unua. The words are used to relay information and encode spells, but also can be used as a general purpose language. Part of the Tower libraries are fiction written in Unua.

- Attune to a magical item (spell coin): `téa`
- Activate a magical item (spell coin): `estra`
- Mana shot: `pah`
- Shield: `ret`
- Evocation (telekinesis): `krav`
- Open things: `gress`
- Close/lock things: `verta`

Focus abilities
---------------

After tapping directly into Maia, characters can gain a unique Focus ability, often related to their personality.
Hints of their Focus ability can peek through even before activation.
