(Currently unnamed - it can't be 'Earth' or anything we use here to describe our planet) My world is a grouping of countries I created. There are a few sentient species who inhabit this world - Humans, Elves, and Flacren. They also use Magica (not magic - magica)widely, and because of this their technology has decreased from the days before they had Magica. All Kingdoms MapAll the Kingdoms are divided into five compass points - Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western, and Central. each of these groupings of countries work together - think of the continent as out world, the groupings as countries, and the Kingdoms as states. The kingdoms usually only care for themselves, but they do step in and help their neighbors. In my stories, I'll mostly deal with the Western Kingdoms. My first story including these kingdoms (In Memory) briefly has the character living in Anver. The second story I plan to write (Princess Kate, working title) takes place in its entirety in Aoshiro (The richest of the Western Kingdoms, as it's only borders are other Western kingdoms). Anver Aoshiro (I do have a Tanalah map, but it's not uploaded yet)

Magica History and Theory
Magica, like Technology, is one of the Knowledges of the Kingdoms. While technology is proven physically with mathematics, Magica is a Knowledge proven psychologically. It works by summoning up will power and willing for something to happen. For example, is you wanted a ball of fire to appear, you would focus your mind on the fire, imagine it in your cupped hand, and if you had enough will power, it would appear. Even more skilled Magica users can manipulate Magica without moving their hands, making the only signs of their intentions their eyes.
Long ago, when Magica was a newly discovered, people thought Magica was controlled with strength and energy. Many Magica users went through hard years of physical training when they began to learn Magica use. The training usually brought out people's will power, so physical strength was an excepted explanation for centuries, until King Tsill II had a son who learned Magica at the age of 10, too young to go through the Physical training needed at that time for Magica learning. Since then, people have studied Magica and learned of the will power needed to control it.
Your own Magica will not hurt you. If you summon fire to dance on your fingers, you will only feel the wing being sucked up by the fire, and a slight heat while it will act like regular fire to anyone or anything else. In a dual, though, if your opponent catches your Magica with his/her own, they can send it back to you covered in their Magica, so it will hurt you, but they wont have to focus on it.
Magica was discovered a thousand years ago, when technology had just barely shown people running water. At first it was considered evil, and Magica users were prosecuted for using it. But eventually people learned more about Magica, making it the second most used Knowledge, to Technology. With the more people learned about Magica, the better they were able to manipulate it.
Now, Magica is taught widely in school and classes. Life without Magica is an unimaginable thing in the Kingdoms. Of the Western Kingdoms, Aoshiro is the most advanced in most of the knowledges, so it is common for kids (Especially in Anvers and Smolenak) to travel and live in Aoshiro for a while, while studying the Knowledges.
