Elemental Magic

Elemental magic is one of the most familiar types of magic to most of the magic users on Lore. On Lore specifically, it involves the manipulation of element-aligned mana inherent to the world. For this reason, much of the magic familiar to Lorian magi and wizards is inaccessible in deep space or deep Void, which are very similar in nature – they both contain non-Elemental forces hostile to the elements and very little elemental mana, spread very thinly. A core of elemental mana, like that of Lore, is almost essential to this brand of magic. However, that a Mana Core is not, strictly speaking, necessary for performing magic; it just makes things a lot easier. For many, magic is either impossible or significantly reduced in the effects it can achieve without a Mana Core, as it provides large amounts of manain a small area. In space, mana is much more thinly spread (and frequently more raw, though there's still some elemental alignment going on from various effects) which makes it harder to gather and use. An example of elemental magic that does not require such a core is the Electromagnetic-Gravitational Force, more commonly known as the UniForce. According to one of Kalanyr's theories, the UniForce is essentially magic aligned with Energy from various cosmic forces that is not used to full efficiency, as it seems limited in its capabilities compared to the magic that is available to a Lorian Wizard.
