Chapter 1: How does Mana and Aura make Magic?

Aura isn't only able to control the efforts of the body. It is able to command all other energies. When Mana is harnessed, its natural order is thrown out of balance. This converts the Mana into a chaotic force, able to cause anything to happen. Aura then dictates to the Mana a new form of order, and said Mana obeys. This is what commonly creates Magic.

When a person does accidental magic, he is merely dictating to the surrounding Mana his desire. How much power is behind the magic is determined by how emotional the person is, and hence why accidental magic occurs most often among children who are frightened or angry.

However, accidental magic is dictated not by the conscious spirit, but the subconscious. If a grown wizard, in perfect mental tranquility, attempts to wield magic without a wand, their spiritual core isn't supplying enough energy to create or maintain wandless spells. Should the wizard consciously manage to create the spell without an emotional outburst, then the draw upon their spiritual reserves will be greater than the same spell cast by accidental magic.

This is why wands assist wizards in creating and maintaining spells. Their woods and cores all have different resonances of energy, but all fall under the category of Mana. When you exert your will through your wand, the Mana within your wand makes it many times easier to mold Mana in the air around you to the will of your Aura. This is why many wizards can do spells with a wand if the same spell would exhaust him without.
