Editing An Overview of Magic (section)

== The Study of Magic: A General Overview ==
Magic is really the center of NSA, and the source of its life and vitality, as well as the evil that crawls from its depths. All of the most powerful artifacts of the [[NaAT]], the Math Stick, Strength stick,<ref>See [[Sticks of Poweh]]</ref> [[Cece's Notebook|Cecilia’s Notebook]] (the source of much of the information in this short overview of magic), even the [[Diamonds of NSA|diamonds]] themselves, are at their core, magical. The same can be said of evil artifacts and creatures as well, [[Zer0]] himself thrives on the magic of null (nothingness, see below). The point of this, however, is to show that Magic is the core of everything, be it evil or good, magic is indifferent, it is simply a force. One of the laws of the universe, just like gravity and physics. It is not supernatural, good or bad, it just is. The danger of magic however, is the power it offers. As the old saying goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely. Magic is no exception. Every mage walks a fine line between using their powers for good and serving others or using it to take what they wish, indulge their desires, and gain more power.

Therefore, to any who are considering walking the path of the Magi: You are taking a very great risk. It is all too easy to fall to Zer0 in an attempt to further yourself, or to harm yourself by attempting to use more magic than you can, or to fall victim to any of the many other dangers magic creates. Make sure you are strong-willed, with good friends and allies who will help you along your way. But if you can use the magic you wield justly, the good you will be able to accomplish will be great. Now that you have been fairly warned, let us begin.<ref>Side note: In case you didn't know, all of the "magic" used at NSA is fictional/make-believe/whatever you want to call it. See [[Magick]].</ref>
