Editing Trinity:The Forces (section)

==Magic==
Magic in the world of Trinity is not a complex force, nor is it reminiscent of the mystical ways of other settings. Instead, Magic is understood to be a surprisingly formulaic system. This is because Magic breaks the rules of the universe, and - in essence - each spell a mage casts must also establish the standard parameters of the universe, while giving the caster room to produce the change he or she seeks.

Take the classic example of Fireball. In order to produce such a flame, the mage must begin by exerting the idea of flame, then of flammability, then of area, then of a sphere. Whereas technology can simply take advantage of the existing rules of physics, every single spell a caster crafts must establish each rule of reality to be followed. To not do so is to invite catastrophe or - worse yet - nothing.

It would seem that whatever created the universe - be it random chance or the deities - chose to leave these methods of "cheating" behind on purpose. However, unlocking these methods is incredibly difficult, and requires a good deal of strange words and odd motions - actions that no sane being would or could randomly come across. However, sane beings did come across them, and have thus unlocked the mysteries of the universe.

To summarize: magic breaks the rules to reach its ends.

===Spells (Arcane)===
Magic is one of three forces that refers to its abilities as "spells;" however, magic specifically refers to its own as "arcane spells." Arcane spells are one of the more common force-based phenomenon witnessed in the world.

Spell Resistance (SR) is effective against arcane spells, and arcane spells only.

'''System:''' Magic in Trinity uses the same system as standard d20 does.
