Magic

The magic of Cunabula Deae is largely based on willpower, the secret to many of the oddities of dragonkind and its other races.

This magic works on the principle that all things in existence, in this world or in others, is created of energy (for example, the charges in particles in atoms). This energy can be manipulated by those with a great enough will, and can be changed to suit a different purpose, much like in alchemy. It can be sustained, rearranged, and altered simply by the power of Will, though it takes years of training to master such tasks and magic-working is often left to dragons, who have adapted naturally to subconsciously manipulate this energy to their benefit. That being said, there are still several institutes scattered on the smaller continents, aiming to train young humans and sylvans to control this will.
