Magic

An integral part of life is the magic within the living beings and world itself. Magic goes hand in hand with technology at EVE.

Overview
Unexplainable phenomenons that have been recorded in history as long as time itself. Incidents that can't be explained with science are more than likely to be filed under magic. Some have compared magic as a life source, while others say treat it as nothing more than an extra hassle to get tested in order to use it legally.

Magic seems to be imbedded into nearly everything in life, including an explainable reason why even androids are able to have magical abilities as long as they use a catalyst as well.

"CATALYST" The only way to properly use one's magic without any repercussions is by using a catalyst. Similarly to androids, making a catalyst requires using a classified material that allows users to harness and use their magic. Weaponry and catalysts undergo a strict creation due to the fragility and instability when it comes to first time magic users and defective weaponry.

In some of the lower wards are illegal catalyst and weaponry factories, alongside smuggling and illegal arms deals. Due to the dangerous nature of this, deaths and workers becoming cyborgs are common.

Magic Types
Most magic falls under elemental types, but other kinds of magic aren't uncommon either; such as healing, forcefields creation, telekinesis, etc. Although research shows that magic type isn't 100% hereditary, those of the same bloodline have a tendency to use similar magic.

Respawning
An unexplained phenomenon to even this day, happening as long as history has recorded. Temporary death where a body is scattered in spores of light, before coming back together at the last place the individual slept at. Even the most gruesome of death can be negated because of this, restoring the body back to it's original state before the death happened.

After losing a limb, some may choose to die immediately to restore their missing limb. However, this is not always the case; it's known that randomly, or perhaps not randomly, individuals will respawn missing limbs or body parts they've never loss prior to their previous death. It's most common in cases where a person has died multiple times within a short timespan. Alongside limbs, there has been reports of people reawakening and missing an eye, their hearing, fingers/toes, and even cases of heavy memory loss.

True Death
The only time an individual truly dies, is when they experienced their 'true death.' The body doesn't disappear after they die; thus being the signal that they're truly dead. Most of the time, true death happens in the form of old age or sickness, some sort of natural death rather than unnaturally being killed. However, it also happens when a person respawns too many times. This has yet to explained either, and research is classified.

Trivia

 * About half of the cyborg population came about due to losing body parts after respawning. Others may have just been born missing them.
