There are two schools of magic in Morrowmere: Verbal and Material.
Material magic utilizes the natural magical energy of Morrowmere. Nearly everything in Morrowmere has magic infusing it and the people of Morrowmere can harness this. Some people use this through channeling the natural power of the elements, harnessing the might of crystals or plants. This magic is most commonly used to make physical objects like magical equipment or potions or the like.
Verbal magic has a greater possibility for power in comparison to Material magic, but also much greater risk. Verbal magic harnesses raw imaginative power in tandem with the infinite might of magic, but to cast it one must speak it into action. Magic can interpret some of it, but the more complex of a result you want, the more complex and specific you must be.
Anyone can do magic, in fact nearly everyone does but to truly wield magic takes a lot of practice and effort. it also takes respect. Magic in Morrowmere is a sentient and powerful entity, one which lives alongside and in symbiosis with the people who inhabit this world. Magic's sentience often leads to quirks developing, like families sharing magic they've figured out eventually turning into an entire family line being exceptional at that type of spell because the magic sought to help them with the thing they did.
While it is a symbiotic relationship and the magic seeks to help the people who inhabit Morrowmere, there are historic accounts of individuals who believed they could control magic, and do whatever they wanted, only for the magic to become petty and spiteful and disrupt them in every way it could.
