Magical classification was one of the many mysteries in Enusia I'd been unable to piece together. Everyone in the world accepted the seemingly absurd classification of magic, which broke spells up by their element, product, or methodology into categories, like Fire, Fate, or Shadow. However, the classifications were irregular and inconsistent. Take Fate Magic, for example. Aegis was a protection spell, which should have been its own category, yet most protection magic was considered Fate. Fortunate Parry, the spell which deflected melee attacks, was all based on luck, or fortune, which made sense under Fate, yet not when compared with Augury, a sixth-circle spell that predicted the future. Luck and prophecy seemed entirely different domains.
Sorry about the shorter chapter. I promise tomorrow will be long!
