Sovereign's Sorcery, Teiō Mikoyose) is the 'mother' of the modern magic system. It acts like a stem, connecting all of the branches of magic back to the One Magic. This stem uses spirit as a power source instead of will, and requires no Eternano particles. Therefore, Sorcery is a much more expensive skill to use, as it burns the spirit of the user.

Description
Sovereign's Sorcery is a branch of energy that directly stems from the original magic, often referred to as. Sorcery is believed to be the predecessor or common ancestor to all magic seen in Earthland today, meaning that this alternate yet similar source of how modern-day magic came to be. People often get Sorcery and mixed up in terms of how they link to Magic but as clarified by one of the earliest recorded users of this energy source, TBD..., "The Magic of One would be the root of a tee whereas Sovereign's Sorcery would be the stem that allowed other branches to come into fruition, those branches becoming what we call Magic". However, despite being the forefather to various magic, no eternano particles can be traced within this energy. This is because of the fact that Magic has been mistakenly been described as the physical embodiment of one's spirit when in fact, it is the physical embodiment of one's will and Sorcery, being the true physical embodiment of one's spirit.

Even though spirit and will are used in similar context, in Sorcery, there is a fine line between the two. According to the ideologies of Fleming, another fellow user of Sorcery, "A person's will can only influence power whereas one's spirit can amplify power many times over." Expanded on further, willing something (in this case, supernatural energy that comes in the form of magic) only means you are merely manipulating the properties of the magic excluding its strength. Though altering some properties seem to heighten the strength of the magic, it is actually becoming more efficient instead of more powerful and even if it was strengthened, the change in potency would be minuscule. The strength of magic truly relies on the mage's magical container. The role of the container is akin to that of a vacuole in a plant cell, if water is magic and the plant cell is the magic then once all water is depleted, the strength of the cell itself is considerably weaker than when it started.

On the other hand, one's spirit can enhance one's power tenfold, twenty-fold and so on. Due to the overwhelming nature of Sorcery, one's spirit needs to be rigorously trained in order to to tame this practically ancient source of energy. Once their spirit has reached the highest point it could be, honed in all aspects, all things which essentially make up one's spirit (mostly emotions such as anger or excitement and importantly, a person's will) are all merged into one clusterfuck, providing a near limitless power supply since there is no need for a Sorcery container since in a battle, one's spirit is in essence, their drive to fight.

Obviously, there are repercussions to using spirit as the main fuel for energy. One being that it is impossible for a Sorcerer's spirit to ignite against every single opponent, especially if the opponent is considerably weaker than the Sorcerer, meaning the Sovereign (another term used for casters of this energy) will be forced into unarmed or armed combat. Another being that over time, the user's spirit will decay, the speed of the decaying spirit upto how much Sorcery the user outputs. their sorcery and motivation to fight slowly dissipating over time until they find no pleasure in going into combat with other combatants. However, intense emotions such as revenge and once again anger, can set fire to an already burnt out spirit.

There are only two known methods that allow a person to obtain the power to use this energy... {|class="toccolours collapsible collapsed navbox" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style=" float: center; font-size:90%; width:100%;" !colspan="2" style=" text-align:center; font-size:13.5px; font-weight:bold; background:Black; color:White;"| Card Magic Spells
