![]() " Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door": However, in Hunter's case, artificial magic can only be channeled via technology-enhanced equipment, such as his staff disarming Hunter of his staff will leave him unable to cast any spells.ĩ. Artificial magic is primarily red and allows its user to perform powerful spells without the need of spell circles. It is notably effective against the magic-blocking wool, suggesting that artificial magic is a separate force from natural magic. Suppsedly, Belos learned how to harness this form of magic with the help of the Collector. This is seen when Philip Wittebane tries to give himself magic by carving them into his arm, but ends up damaging part of his body in the process.Ī relatively unknown source of magic used by Emperor Belos and Hunter, artificial magic relies more on advanced scientific technology over natural sources. They have harmful effects if drawn or tattooed onto a living being due to glyphs requiring energy to cast spells. Glyphs when drawn on paper consume the paper they are drawn on, but if drawn on something larger like the ground or a wall will not consume it, and instead the glyph itself will simply disappear. According to Lilith, the glyphs are like words which command the environment's magic to cast spells overlapping glyphs is like overlapping words and drawing glyphs with random parts together is like using random letters to come up with a word: it just makes a jumbled mess. Glyph magic is usable by anyone on the Boiling Isles. ![]() Unlike bile sacs, glyphs do not contain their own magic rather, they command the natural magic on the Boiling Isles, rendering them useless in any realm with no magic. Performing glyph magic effectively requires that both the glyph is drawn accurately enough and that the caster know what they need the glyph to do when they activate it, or else they will receive underwhelming and unintended results. However, complex spells require the glyphs to be arranged in specific patterns attempting to overlap glyphs can cause undesired results. While it is implied that these are the only four glyphs in existence, there are infinitely many ways to combine the existing glyphs to create more complex spells. Luz's presence and training on the Boiling Isles provides a link between wild magic and current magic.Ĭurrently, there are four confirmed glyphs: light, ice, plant, and fire. These glyphs briefly appear in the spell circles of other witches, but have long become invisible to them. As a result, she has to access the magic in the environment directly through the use of hidden glyphs in the environment. Luz Noceda, Eda's human apprentice, does not have a magic bile sac and so does not carry a reservoir of magical power within her. This archaic magic appears to rely on runes called glyphs or picto-glyphs that invoke magic when drawn. As witches pursue their educations, they are guided down academic tracks leading to eventual coven membership and magic specialization.Įda has made reference to "wild magic" witches used in ancient times, suggesting the existence of a magic system utilized by witches in the past without bile sacs. Students start training in magic at the kindergarten level and continue to develop their skills across the educational spectrum. This training is accomplished at institutions such as Hexside and Glandus High. Witches require extensive education and training in order to master the system, allowing them to use magic effectively and safely. Witches invoke magic through the use of gestures, incantations, enchanted objects, potions, and elixirs. These rituals restrain and provide order and direction to what would ordinarily be a chaotic force. Magic on the Boiling Isles is manipulated through a system of rituals. Magic is not known to be present in the Human Realm other natural forces exist, such as gravitation and electromagnetism, but magic is the only force that appears to be controllable through will alone. A spell can be simple or complex, depending on the degree of change the spell caster is attempting to accomplish. A spell, the most basic unit of magic, is an invocation that accomplishes a specific change. ![]() Magic, once invoked, has the ability to manipulate other natural forces.
