Magic applies the strength of the soul to a situation—in contrast to the strength of the body or the strength of technological tools. It can accomplish essentially the same things as technology can, but has the major advantage of requiring no tools. Its practitioners can also communicate with spirits, banish demons, and so forth. Magic drains the magician, however, in a way that few non-mages can imagine, and the miracles and magic of the Nobilis are innately superior. Sometimes, a Mystery Cult serving one of the Ymerae gains some knowledge of true miraculous magic—but while these magics are superior in nature to those of normal mages, a purely human soul cannot use such magics reliably, frequently, or to the fullest extent.
