In the MGE magic is explained basically as being only possible because the energy source known as "mana" exists in living things. What is called "magic" amounts to using ones mind (especially the imagination), with mana as the fuel, to manipulate/bend reality in a myriad of ways.

What is mana then? Well that is a bit more unclear. Runya Runya describes it as "vital energy" and "life force itself," and there are some living things that have bodies made entirely out of mana rather than flesh or other physical matter and they are considered alive due to being made of mana. Its also noted that in its natural state mana has no mass (part of many magic spells is converting mana into another state where it has mass).
