Greetings,

How's everybody doing?

Well Cultist you are partially correct. Everyone does indeed have Mana, or Spirit Energy whatever you wish to call it. But this does not mean everyone can use magic. World Guide Three shows a case where a Baphomet named Runya Runya can not use magic. I'll link it if you are interested. It's the Author Introduction!

In regards to Magic Genway there are generally two Systems of Magic in fiction which are the most common. There is also a Hybrid Class which combines the two, but is somewhat more complex. The MGE Setting uses mostly Soft Magic. It isn't as clearly defined but allows for more creative freedom. I've linked two sources which explain the systems if you are curious. https://www.dlandsborough.com/blog/2017/3/21/hard-soft-magic and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_and_soft_magic_systems

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
