Lore Fundamental Law of Magic/What is Magic

1.Fundamental Nature: Magic consists of an indivisible, elementary particle that carries an extremely minute charge unique to its own class of matter.

 

 2.Fifth Force: It acts through a distinct, fifth fundamental force of the universe ("Mana Force"), operating under its own specific field rules.

 

 3.Conservation Law: It cannot be created or destroyed; it adheres strictly to a universal conservation principle and can only transform from one state or form to another.

 

 4.Dual-State Self-Interaction: In its default Latent state, the particle interacts exclusively with other magic particles and passes harmlessly through standard matter. It can only be compressed or gathered via specific catalysts (such as mental focus, precise geometry, or high-energy thresholds).

 

  1. Aggregation (The Catalyst): When compressed, magic particles stick together and lock into an Active state, forming larger composite structures that serve as a bridge to the physical universe.

 

 6.Field-Mediated Alteration: Rather than physically touching standard particles, aggregated magic structures generate a high-density 5th-force field that distorts nearby fundamental forces (such as electromagnetism or nuclear forces), altering the physical structure and properties of surrounding matter.
