Magics of the New Era

"Magic is the essence of humanity, something we heavily depend on for our survival. As we grow and evolve over time, so does the usage of this mystical power; this is evident in each generation where magic is given a new purpose by its users, whether if it's good or bad. However, from what I've seen as of late, it's reached a point where magic itself became "unique" in a sense, having no relations to the magic of old. It serves as a reflection of the creator's talents and their modern-day views, argued to have broken away from the standard traditions to assert independence. It's such magic that's considered to be the most interesting, as it has no set basis — generated from the vast imaginations and innate talents of its creator."

Magics of the New Era (新時代の魔法, Shin Jidai no Mahō) is a terminology used to describe magics that were recently invented, thus not found in any magical records; considered to be a Subspecies Magic to a certain extent, their powers unknown to all but their creators and most of them are derived from the user's imagination. However, some users deny employing other magics as a basis — especially those classified as an Ancient Spell or Lost Magic, in order to assert their uniqueness and make it harder to figure out its true nature.

Currently, it's impossible to tell how many "modern magics" are out there, as magic itself constantly evolves daily; nevertheless, esoterologists always try to keep tabs on those that arise every once in a while, being one of the subjects they take avid interests in. Said magics are given the term, "Contemporary Crafts" (現代工芸, Gendai Kōgei), which helps set them apart from the ones that existed generations prior. It's rumored the creation of all these unique magics and magical skills are in hopes of reaching the pinnacle of spellcasting, thus making the person unrivaled by any of their peers.
