We call the kind of magic I practice Red magic, or lunar magic; I'm pretty sure that solar magic exists, but I don't remember very much about it other than that. The basic concept is that we convert cosmic essence, which you can more or less think of as raw magical energy, into energy aligned with one or more of the six Crafts using our cosmic shards, then release that energy according to the instructions of a spell.

These are my cosmic shards; we get them when we ritually awaken ourselves to magic. I haven't remembered quite how that happens yet, but I know that one thing we have to do is derive our own Axiom, which is a set of instructions for handling and converting cosmic essence. My Axiom determines which Crafts I can access -- all six, in my case -- and how efficiently I can process and convert essence into spells.
