Xuanzang here! Ok, you guys are in for a treat this time. I was going through Aether's papers in his office (Ebera again... look, she's really, really scary, ok?) and I found this from when he was planning out all the non-elemental, non-specialised magic! Also known as the Base Circle by those in the know. Ok, so this was only a draft, so it's incomplete, and some stuff's probably different nowadays, with the final product and all. But still, read away!

Teleportation

Alright, I've been thinking. Getting around this big world we've found ourselves is going to be a drag for all my children. So, why don't I give them a little helping hand? I call it: teleportation! With this, their Magi will be able to get from place to place instantaneously! Of course, that could be pretty easy to abuse... so I ought to make it pretty tricky... the sort of thing not just anyone can do. And then, they'd have to be even stronger to go longer distances... and then they'd have to be the best in their generation to actually get to places they'd never even been before. Whew! Pretty big ability here... now I need to give it to one of the other gods... oh Me, that's going to be a terrible squabble... ugh. Can I really take that now? Wait! Idea! I'll make it so that none of them get it! Hahaha, that's a great idea! I wonder if there's any other stuff I can keep non-elemental... hmm...

Levitation

Moving objects about it... I think Atra wanted this one. She's been complaining ever since Undra got most of the mental abilities. Hmph, I need to teach that girl a lesson about being satisfied with her fair share... aha... I know, I'll make levitation like teleportation! That got all of them very annoyed last time - serves them right! So, let's see then... specifics. Well, obviously a correlation with strength and how far an object can be moved, and how heavy an object can be moved... that sort of thing... still, other than that, it's levitation, how complex can it get? Maybe I'll ask Undra for some help later. She's usually pretty good at designing these things. Sometimes I wonder if she's too good... the universe would be a much simpler place without her... like maths! Good grief, how can she think of so many different things to do with numbers? Those poor mortals are going to have a devil of a time figuring all that out...

General Offensive Magic

Gee, that girl Undra may be smart, but I think I must have given all my creativity to Venturia... and Atra... nah, I'm pretty sure she must get all that form her mother... anyway. What a boring name. Oh well. This was Undra's idea. She tossed several magic forms at me that don't really fit in with the elements. Or so she says. I'd have thought several of these were Light... come to think of it, I think she's been angry at her brother lately for some reason... sigh. Oh well, I said I'd stick them all in this category, so I suppose I'd better do it. So, this is things like magic missiles, shockwaves, the like. There's a long list here, I'm not going to write it all down. Moving on, because Undra gave me another group here...

General Defensive Magic

Yup, another Undra name. Ok, same principle really. Here I'll stick things like forcefields, evasion spells and the like. I guess it's ok if some of these things overlap with the elements, come to think of it, just so long as the elemental versions are better. Yeah, that'd work... oh! I just thought of another important one for offensive. Enchanting objects so that they can react if they're ever stolen and read, Xuanzang.

Ow! It just shocked me! Oh man, that's the thing about the King of the Gods... you never quite know which laws of nature the universe are going to apply to him...
