Magic

In the world of Buck: Legacy, all races are capable of using magic. Magic is the manipulation of natural energy that flows across the world which all creatures are sensitive to. Any creature can use magic provided they have an object to channel that energy through, called a Catalyst, most ponies use a Staff or Wand as a Catalyst, and Unicorns have the added benefit of a horn, which acts as a built-in Catalyst.

Using Mana
All creatures can manipulate the natural magic flow that courses through the world's Ley Lines. But each Adventurer has a limit to the amount they can use before exhausting themselves. Casting spells puts enormous strain on the user's body, which can seriously injure the spellcaster. By equipping more efficient Catalysts; Adventurers are able to use magic for longer.

Transmutation
Transmutation is practiced by Alchemists and is a form of Geometric Magic. It does not create strain on the user or require a catalyst because the spellcaster uses geometric shapes to manipulate the flow of magic. It does, however, take time to write the complicated symbols.

Elements
There are several magical elements in Buck: Legacy which effect a character's ability to fight a monster. Flame beats Nature. Thunder beats Aqua. Holy beats Undead. Chaos is weak against Nagapon.
