Mages: (Official title for those who can harness magical power) are classified by their abilities and placed into different ranks. These ranks from weakest to strongest are low-tier, mid-tier, high-tier, and grand high-tier grade mages. The rare few that exceed the abilities of grand high-tier are given the title of an archmage.
Mages use mana to cast their spells. If a mage is skilled enough, their mana will have a distinctive color just like when sword masters use auras of different colors depending on their attribute.
Mana: Is the life force that exists within all things. It is the energy that allows spells to be casted, the environment to be manipulated, and auras to be formed. Mana is used to perform magic, so the more mana one possesses, the more impressive the magic they can perform. However, just having a lot of mana isn't enough, since the user also needs to practice fine mana control.
Once a person runs out of power, it is gradually replenished by the body either or by absorbing mana from the environment, both of which are time-consuming processes.
Magic Stones: Can be either created by magic either artificially or naturally when mana in the environment flows into ordinary stones. The amount of mana that can be gathered in a Magic Stone depends on its quality, the higher the quality the more expensive a Magic Stone is.

Most Magic Devices run on Magic Stones and they can also be used by mages to boost their magic spells. Cracks form on Magic Stones when they are used, eventually shattering once the mana has been depleted. Magic Stones used in these devices are usually low or mid tier Magic stones. One can use a limited amount of Magic Stones on themselves due to the small amount of mana a person can control at once, otherwise a Mana Explosion will occur. A Mana Explosion is when the buildup of mana becomes so great that it forcibly expels outward, this can cause extreme damage to one's environment or body.
Aura: (Auramancer, the official name for aura users) is mana, but at the same time considered its own power because of how its utilized, and like mana, aura exists in all living things. It also has the same tiers for auramancers that mages do and the few that surpass grand high-tier are given the title of Auror.
It is the easier form of magic to master because it requires a lot less concentration and no incantations. It is used mainly by warriors like swordsmen, by pushing their aura outwards and coating their weapons with it. Aura can also be used to enhance ones physical abilities like speed, strength, sight, etc.
If used by an experienced auramancer, aura can affect the area around the users by creating wind, cracking the ground, heating/freezing space around them. Aurors have even used their aura to heal wounds, create weapons and other materials made of aura, sense the aura of others to predict attacks, conceal their presence, absorb the auras of others, and even fly.
