Majik Art

Created by Khali Crawford

Majikal Arts are the study, implementation, and mastery of the basic concepts of Magic. They are spells that are used as the foundation for all magical combat, referred to as an Art. Outside of the 8 Principal Arts, each one relating to one of the 8 basic schools of Magic, there are other specified Arts developed by Clans or fabled Mages.
In some cases one may find elemental-based magical spells, and what is the difference between a Fire Art and something like the Pyro Elemental Tome? The difference is in the energy expelled to transform your Magical Energy. If you lack the PET and cast a Fireball Spell, you need to turn your Magical Energy into a fire-like substance and then cast the spell. Whereas with the PET, that magical element is already within you and you simply need to expel it. Having an Elemental Tome for a given element makes using it incredibly easier than without it. 
But, outside of the said elemental Arts, all other Magical Arts can be used and learned by anyone else but not all of the Arts are geared for combat. For example, the Majik Art of Divination excels at gaining information for its user but by itself offers no real combat advantage. Or the Majik Art of Illusion which can be used to trick an enemy or mislead them but won't help you heal a fatal wound. And so it is common practice to master, or at the very least become proficient with all 8 Principal Arts.

Effect

A Majik Art is a specialized form of Majik that zeros in on certain elements, fighting styles, and movements that distinguish it from normal or Basic Majik. These styles need to be practices and perfected and every user has their own spin on it, thus the name Majik Art is suitable. As it truly is an art form to master and use one of them correctly.
