Sorcery

Magic (魔術) is the art used by all Mages and Exorcists. It is primarily taught in the Mage's Guild and was the foundation for Ars Magus and its foundations. It costs seithr to use.

Unlike Ars Magus, the basis of Magic (魔法) rely on borrowing the spiritual powers which are originally present in nature. Magic attacks also cause scarring of the Soul.

Originally founded in ancient times as a way to combat creatures outside of the logic. The ability to use Magic is inherited in a manner similar to genes, although how the Magic can be accessed tends to vary. Mages are typically able to cast spells by incantations or motions, while Exorcists require talismans, charms and the like. Jubei hints in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma that the skill of a Mage can be gauged by their casting time. There are only a handful of spells that are actually shown and named despite the extensive implied amount; these spells include: Shikigami Raven, Barrier: Infinite Corridors, Gravity Seed, Snap Weapon: Infinite Gravity and Mind Eater.

Normal humans and Beastkin's magical abilities are often poor, meaning that they rely on science and Ars Magus instead. Ars Magus was actually born from the fusion of science and Magic, and as such, the two arts are closely related; the Mage's Guild and the Orbis Librarius Norma eventually merged for this reason.

After the Dark War, the amount of Magic users fell into a deep recline thanks to the dissolution of the Mage's Guild. As of Chronophantasma, there exists only four confirmed living beings capable of performing Magic: Konoe A. Mercury, Celica A. Mercury, Rachel Alucard and Kokonoe. There also exists two confirmed artificial humans capable of performing Magic: Hazama and Kazuma Kuvaru. It is highly implied that Hades Izanami can perform Magic as well.

However, in XBlaze – Code: Embryo, there is a greater amount of Magic users with each having specialized in magical attributes. The Magic users and their attributes in XBlaze are:
 * Kuon Glamred Stroheim - Fire
 * Sechs - Gravity
 * Acht - Ice
 * Drei - Boosting abilities
 * Elise von Klagen - Defensive Magic
 * Mei Amanohokosaka - Ying-Yang
