'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a force learned by mankind around the time of [[Antiquity]]. In {{CT}}, it is used to perform powerful offensive and defensive spells in combat. In {{CC}}, Magical abilities are called [[Element]]s. Magic is practiced in {{RD}} by both [[Gil]] and [[Serge (Radical Dreamers)|Serge]]. Any time Serge attempts Magic, he fails due to a lack of preparation and nervousness. Gil, however, uses magic fluidly and frequently. | |||
