Hello. This is a small intro to magic. Anything needing to be adressed or added will be in the future.
All people have the ability to control magic, or rather the potential to. There is something called Vim, or true energy, which all people can learn or be trained to use. Now, why is it that archers aren't hurling spells along with arrows? The use of Vim requires a great amount of focus. When in use of Vim, you can move freely, but your strength is practically nothing. Lighting your own arrow on fire doesn't sound like a good idea when the arrow goes three inches, now, does it?
Now, your swordsman is face to face with a terrifying Mage. Seems like your at a disadvantage? Well you are. If you can't dodge often enough, or kill him fast enough, you'll die. Vim renders unprepared Magic Types* very weak to resisting physical attacks. But a man who doesn't use Vim at all, has no defense against magic. So how does a man train himself to resist magic? The man must regularly reach for Vim within himself allowing him to survive long enough to make sure the Magician in front of him doesn't.
