Celestial Magic

General Summary

There is not much information on Celestial magic. Due to its rarity, limited number of keys, and the secrecy surrounding the celestial realm, it is often misunderstood. This form of magic is almost exclusively passed on from parent to child or master to student.

There are a total of 88 Celestial constellations. While there are many different 'sub-collections' [See page 436] these constellations can be divided up into two main Groups; '75 standard' (or silver) [See page 326] constellations and '12 zodiac' (or gold) [See page 223]. It is unknown whether or not Ophiuchus [see page 567] is considered part of the zodiac collection so it has been excluded in both collections counts.

Spirits

Each constellation has a spirit connected to it. These spirits spend there lives in the Spirit World [See page 1445] waiting to be summoned. There is little information on the spirit world but it is rumored to be ruled by the Spirit King [See Page 2345] with the assistance of the Spirit Council [See page 2393]. The spirit world is also ruled by its own set of laws [See page 3593]. It is also rumored that humans can "travel to the spirit world' [See page 3393] under special circumstances. Spirits can be harmed in this world but not killed. The regenerating time for injured spirits varies.

Keys

These spirits are summoned through Celestial Keys [See page 513] While silver constellations can have up to 15 keys each, gold constellations only have one each. However, It is rumored that the number of keys possible for silver constellations changes depending on certain factors in Earth Land [See page 823]. Each key is designated by a 'symbol' [see page 34-32] on the head of the key. Though the physical keys themselves are impervious to physical damage there are some legends of golden keys 'breaking' [See page 5234].

Contracts

In order for a celestial mage to summon a spirit a 'contract' [See page 637] must be formed between the spirit and the mage. These contracts are unique to the mages and can vary in specificity and detail.

Other Forms of Magic

It is also rumored that Celestial mages are able to use five spells similar to those used by mages who use Heavenly Body magic [see page 7376] but there is no record of this any being cast in the past 300 years [See page 7424]. More over, the only spell that has survived is the 'Urano Metraina' [See page 7140]. In addition to this there are also legends referencing 'Star Dust'[See page 7345] in conjunction with celestial magic but there is little to no information on what this could entail.

Power Requirements

It is unknown how much magic it takes to perform any kind of Celestial magic. Due to the secretive nature of most Celestial mages and 'shielded nature' of the celestial magic itself [See page 9343], there are though it is suspected that silver keys can be operated fairly easily. Gold keys on the other had have been rumored to uses larges amounts of magic power. There are many accounts of celestial mages never being able to summon a Zodiac spirit [See page 234].

The Shielded nature of Celestial Magic.

Based of of several studies conducted by the magic council, it has been concluded Celestial Magic can not be 'sensed' like other magic can. While many experienced mages can not only sense an opponent though their 'magical presence' [See page 5264] but also gage an appoints power levels by though the feel of their magical presence. While Celestial mages have a magical presence it has been deemed impossible to accurately gage and opponents power levels through feel. Assessment through lacram, such as Magic Power Finder, has not yet been tested.

It is suspected that this is caused by the nature of the magic itself. Scene the magic has to do with another plane of existence its nature is impossible to detect...
