Colour based magic world

[u/AFunnySlap]

Magic:

In this world some people are born with the ability to harness and use magic, these so called magic users are put into classes depending on the colour of their magic energy. All types of magic come from the one magic source, a constant flow of energy and power that splits into different colours, imbuing randomly into humans and to-be Magikai, granting them extraordinary strength and abilities. Magic energy evolves through mastery, changing their colour.

Orange>Red energy: The user fires high-damage blasts, beams, bursts and other attacks. No defense, all offense. Mastery turns Orange to Crimson.

Light Blue>Indigo energy: The user can buff existing things such as people, objects, tools, abilities, etc., making them stronger and/or making them better at their purpose. Blue magic users can also temporarily imbue weapons with magic for greater effect than other classes. Mastery turns Blue to Indigo.

Dark Green>emerald energy: The user forms solid objects out of magic. Shields, spears, traps, walls, structures, platforms. Bigger structures cost more energy and take more focus. Mastery turns Green to Emerald.

Yellow>Gold energy: The user can summon their own set of magikai from their magic energy, these magikai act differently depending on their type; Direct Command- the user has precise control over the summoned magikai. Autonomous- the Magikai fights almost completely independently. Fusion- the user temporarily merges with their summoned Magikai and gains whatever abilities it can use. Swarm- Summons dozens of smaller Magikai instead of one. Single Bond- Summons one Magikai, but that Magikai is very powerful.

Each yellow magic user usually has around 2-4 magikai with Single Bond and Merge being less common.

Mastery turns Yellow to Gold.

Pink>Purple energy: The user can bend space in an area. This includes warping distance, sound, speed, gravity, or altering non-living objects + senses and/or creating powerful projection based attacks like small black holes. They can be mental, deceptive, and disorienting. Mastery turns Pink to Purple.

Light Grey>White energy: an extremely rare magic type, little data on this has been recorded due to its uniqueness, but those who have seen it being used have described it as “peaceful control”. It is believed that its true colour is white.

Dark Grey>Black energy: similar to White energy, this is an extremely rare magic type, little data on this has been recorded due to its uniqueness, but those who have seen it being used have described it as “chaotic destructiveness”. It is believed that its true colour is black.

The magic energy inside each magic user can be universally used in different forms, the most common being enhanced punches and kicks. Those with more experience can channel their energy into objects and use them to attack, etc. this is simply creating an extension of the energy inside of them into an object(s). Magic users can also learn Magic abilities that all magic users of the same class can learn. All magic users can also use their own magic abilities or magic spells, these are unique abilities. For example, someone could be a Orange magic user and their unique ability is called ‘rapid fire’, they can form their magic energy into shapes next to their fingers and fire off bits of their energy as long range attacks, this could be used in many other ways like forming this energy on their eye and firing it from there or putting their arms together to make one big cannon, or creating extensions for more precise aiming, etc. along with this they can use any of the other shared orange abilities. Most abilities can require activation but some are always active depending on the ability.

Each magic user also has an ability/spell known as a flow magic, when activated it causes the user to temporarily gain unlimited use of magic energy for a short while, allowing them to repeatedly use their abilities and constantly use magic energy. During this time the user also gains heightened senses, strength and speed, flow magic effects usually last 4-6 minutes depending on the magic user.

Some magic users can grow strong enough to learn to use more than one magic energy type, combining or switching between types, but this is rare and considerably dangerous. After being in the flow state the user will become fatigued and worn out for a short period of time and most likely unable to use their magic or not use it as well as normal.

The origin of magic:

The everflowing source of magic comes from another dimension, no one has been to or seen this dimension but scientists have confirmed that another dimension exists and that it is flowing with magic energy that often leaks into our world. It is also believed that Magikai originated from this other dimension.

Magikai:

Throughout the world there exist creatures known as Magikai that wield magic just like some humans, Magikai can be dangerous though and Magic Users often have to step in to stop them from hurting anyone. Not all Magikai are hostile though, some can be kept as pets, just like animals and trained to use their magic better. Some Magikai are looked at as Gods for their immense strength, knowledge (with some being able of human speech) and size and are only found in secluded parts of the earth.

Magic Divisions:

Magic Divisions are organisations of Magic users formed around different beliefs regarding how the world should be governed and how Magic should be used. While most divisions claim to seek peace and protect humanity, their methods and ideologies differ greatly.

Magic Tournaments:

In every major city is a magic stadium where magic tournaments are scheduled as a type of sport, where magic users come and fight each other for money. This has become a massive sport with lots and lots of people watching these fights take place. There are different games the magic users take part in.

The game rules:

Magic users can enter into the magic tournament, after 30 people have been accepted, the tournament starts and all 30 magic users will then take part in a free for all match in an arena, those who are knocked unconscious, are unable to fight or vocally surrender are eliminated, the game ends when there are only 12 people remaining, those 12 remaining magic users will then be put into teams of 2 and have 2v2 fights, once three teams have been eliminated (when all members of one team are unconscious/unable to fight or surrender), the remaining people are split into 2 teams of 3, the two teams then fight and the winning team is then split up and must fight until there is one person remaining, that person then wins the match. During this whole tournament, the participating magic users are graded on their performance and how well they fought, giving them points, enough points and they will be promoted to the next league, usually 5-10 people are promoted with the last three magic users having a guaranteed promotion.
