'''Magic''' is a force learned by mankind around the time of [[Antiquity]]. In ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', it is used to perform powerful offensive and defensive spells in combat. | |||

It was after 60,000 BC, but before 12,000 BC. By 12,000 BC, magic was in common use by humans, and the world was segregated based on ability to weld it: the [[Enlightened Ones]], who could use magic, and the [[Earthbound Ones]], who could not. The Enlightened lived on the floating islands of the Kingdom of [[Zeal]], while the Earthbound huddled in caves on the world's surface - looked down upon by the Enlightened and often being recruited forcefully to do the latter's will. | ||

==Downfall== | |||
Sometime after the downfall of Zeal, magic fell dead from the hands of mankind. Only Mystics were still able to use magic, making them very dangerous in the war against [[Magus]] in the [[Middle Ages]]. | |||
==Reawakening== | |||
[[Crono]], [[Marle]], and [[Lucca]] - all from [[1000 AD]] - were able to learn magic by visiting [[Spekkio]], the Master of War, at the [[End of Time]]. Later on, [[Frog]] is able to learn magic the same way prior to the fight at [[Magus' Keep]]. | |||
It is unknown if this means that magic itself has been reawakened or if these four can use it simply because they met Spekkio. | |||
