Sorcery

Sorcery (魔術) is the art used by all magicians (魔術師) and exorcists. Originally founded in ancient times as a way to combat creatures outside of the logic, it was the foundation for Ars Magus and its foundations. It costs seithr to use, and can be used only by people with inborn ability to control seithr.

The ability to use sorcery is inherited in a manner similar to genes, although how the sorcery can be accessed tends to vary. Magicians are typically able to cast spells by incantations or motions, while exorcists require talismans, charms and the like. Usually magicians can use nature elements for combat, like water, fire, earth, air, lightning, but some of them are able to manipulate gravity, use healing and defensive sorcery, and sorcery that boosts abilities.

Lycanthropes is a race created from sorcery, which makes existence of these creatures being outside of logic.

During the Dark War, Nine of the Ten Sages tried to teach people the art of sorcery to fight the Black Beast, but there were not many people able to learn it, so because of this, the Ars Magus was invented, which is a fusion of sorcery and science.

In the world of BlazBlue sorcery is barely mentioned, since that world has magic. In the world of XBlaze, there is no magic, so only sorcery is used there.

Currently known magicians are: Zwei, Drei, Sechs, Acht, Kuon Glamred Stroheim, Elise von Klagen, Mei Amanohokosaka, Nine and "Me".
