This here is the magic system used in my book here is a rough description of it

The magic system in the story is called Veilweaving.

Veilweaving: An Overview

Veilweaving is the intricate and ancient practice of manipulating the energies of the Veil—the mystical barrier that separates the realms of the living and the supernatural. This art requires deep knowledge, skill, and a strong connection to the nexus, the source of mystical energy that empowers the Keepers of the Veil.

Nexus Connection: Veilweavers draw their power from the nexus, a focal point of mystical energy that binds the realms together. The stronger the connection to the nexus, the more potent the Veilweaver’s abilities.

Abilities :

There are many different abilities each character actually has their own but to awaken it you must be able to understand and use the core ones these are:

1. Elemental Manipulation: Veilweaving allows practitioners to control and manipulate elemental forces—earth, fire, water, and air. Each element can be harnessed for combat, protection, and ritual purposes.
2. Shadow Dance: A unique aspect of Veilweaving is the ability to manipulate shadows and darkness. This involves confronting and embracing one’s inner fears and doubts, turning them into sources of strength.
3. Ritual Magic: Complex rituals are a cornerstone of Veilweaving. These rituals can strengthen the Veil, repair breaches, and summon or banish supernatural entities. They often involve ancient incantations, sigils, and ceremonial objects.
4. Guardianship and Combat: Veilweavers are trained in combat, both physical and magical. They must be able to face and defeat guardians—magical constructs embodying various elements—and other supernatural threats.

Roles within the Magic System:

• Keepers of the Veil: The primary practitioners of Veilweaving, tasked with protecting the balance between realms and ensuring the integrity of the Veil.
• Mentors and Elders: Experienced Keepers who guide and train new initiates, passing down their knowledge and expertise.
• Initiates: New members who undergo rigorous training and trials to prove their worthiness and strengthen their connection to the nexus.

Symbols and Artifacts:

• Sigils and Glyphs: Ancient symbols used in rituals and spells, each with specific meanings and purposes.
• Ceremonial Objects: Items like wands, crystals, and chalices, imbued with magical properties to aid in rituals and combat.
• Elemental Tokens: Objects representing the four elements, used to channel and focus elemental magic.

Veilweaving is a delicate and powerful art, requiring discipline, wisdom, and a deep connection to the mystical energies that bind the realms. As Clara masters this magic system, she embraces her role as a Keeper of the Veil, ready to protect the balance and face whatever challenges the future holds.

Each characters personal VWA(veil weaving ability):

Lucien’s Ability: Phantasmal Weaving

Lucien’s ability is to make people and things hallucinate and create illusions, his most famous use of this is when he makes himself the devil in the ball room, during Clara’s vision. He activates this ability as most keepers do through Sigils. He usually has one on either his ring or drawn on a surface or clothes. An example of this is actually the seal on Clara’s invitation. The problem with this ability is that if the original sigil is damaged the spell stops.
