Gaslight Magic

There are many ways how mundane people that are not gifted with magic can still use and take advantage of it (be it with amulets or potions for example), and the so called gaslight magic is the latest trend in this kind of development. The advantage of gaslight magic is its quickness and adaptability with which it can mimic even stronger spells of skilled magicians. It's weak points are instability and the fact that its effects are rather short term.

It first appeared among thieves and other individuals toying with the idea of what's exactly legal, it worked its way fairly quickly into the law enforcement and from that it slowly but surely creeped into the every day life of a modern human individual trying to have a normal day in Taresh.
Apart from self-defence, it got really popular in cosmetology and fashion.
