Magic is the ability to tap into the various forces and manipulate them to your will. This is a great power, but it takes a lot of intelligence and knowledge to utilize it effectively. No magician was created overnight. It takes a long time and a lot of patience to become a mage. Magic isn’t at all like science. A mage cannot use the method of scientific discovery made famous by Thomas Edison. Failure leads to death not to the solution. Magic is manipulating the natural forces. A magician studies the Language of Creation and uses the language of the creator to alter reality as they see fit. The better one understands this Language, the better they are at wielding magic. Look at magic like this, God created the Code and the Code governs how the universe works. When you learn God's code, you can alter the code to suite your whim. Magic is, in a nutshell, the cheat code to the Cosmos.
The word Warlock is an example of this. The word literally means, "Word
Breaker". The Warlock literally
breaks the word of god and replaces it with his own.
There are 3 Focuses of Magic. They are characterized using
the colors White, Gray, and Black.

order, and promoting Harmony. Times during history when White Magic is dominant

and disruptive growth. Times during history when Black Magic was dominant has

Over all three Magical Focuses there is a Sorcerer and Supreme Governing Council

The Mage Champions hold their position by continuing to defeat challengers in magical combat. It is One on One combat. No team of Magicians can join together to defeat the Mage Champion to install one of their own. If this was done the Council of Elders would step in, nullify the new Mage Champion and banish the team after properly punishing them.
Only the Mage Champions of each Magic Focus can challenge the Sorcerer Supreme in magical combat. The winner of the combat holds the position of Sorcerer Supreme.
