Magick

Magick is an ancient form of mystical arts in which the user, through various spells and incantations, can achieve a wide range of things ranging from controlling the elements to controlling others.

History
Little is known of the true origins of magick. It is known to have originated from the planet now known as Hollow Bastion. The ancient inhabitants of the once inhabited world were masters of the mystic arts. They used their powers for the good of all, even going so far as to teach others to master the skill.

At some point, the inhabitants of Hollow Bastion, then Radiant Garden, became corrupt and decadant and began to use their powers for their own personal gain. They launched an offensive that sent the Galaxy into a terrible war. Despite their overwhelming superiority and advantage the armies of Radiant Garden were defeated.

When their enemies began to close on their homeworld, in a last ditch effort, the Ancients cast a devastating spell that not only obliterated all enemy forces on their planet's surface but it completely devastated the entire planet leaving only its castle, Hollow Bastion, intact.

The art of magick was never seen or used again for thousands of years. It wasn't until the 125 ABY, when Cain Knightlord discovered the wayward planet, when the art came in to the Galaxy's view again. Cain studied all the ancient texts he found amongst the ruins of Hollow Bastion, mastering the art and establishing his own cult of magickal followers whom he personally intructed in the mystic arts.
