Codex Entry
Magic comes in three varieties, “white”, “grey” and “black”. Despite what they are called, the names of the magic types do not necessarily associate with any kind of “moral alignment”. Black magic could be used for good just as easily as white magic could be used for evil. However, most demons prefer black magic, and those who fight them tend to prefer white magic. The primary difference between them is where the magic’s power is drawn from. Black Magic is drawn from the emotions and feelings of the body, while White Magic comes from the thoughts of the mind.

Black Magic
The power of Black Magic is drawn from emotion and feeling, and thus is most easily able to affect the bodies of others. Demons and monsters often use black magic in order to aid in the rape and corruption of innocents, as arousing a target is one of the first things a disciple of Black Magic learns. Black magic can also change the size and functions of bodily parts in strange ways, but it is incredibly difficult to use on oneself, as it interrupts the flow of power from the body. Most users of Dark Magic only learn to draw their power through their lust, rendering it impossible to use when turned off.

Grey Magic
It’s not so easy to describe what exactly is Grey Magic. What is sure is that it’s magic that require outstanding intelligence to even understand basic principles of it. Most of it spells are as one can say 'grey' not differencing between good or bad, pure and corrupted. Their in most cases cause almost monumental effects like attacking huge areas of battlefield, deal unbelievable amount of the damage to a single target or cause other bizarre things like unnatural even for Mareth standards transformations. Source of this magic is also quite unclear as it drawn at same time from sources used by both White and Black magic requiring caster to be not too horny or not too calm to use them. Some mages even jokes saying that all White and Black magic spells actually came from some of old grey magic spell after loosing much of it former power and becoming too much attuned to calm or horny casters. How much truth is in that only true Grey Archmages could only know.

White Magic
The power of White Magic is drawn from the mind, but is more often called the power of the soul. White Magic is considered “stronger” than Black Magic because it can be used to create energy from nothing or heal the body. Users of White Magic can blind their opponent with dazzling lights, burn them with pure white flames, or even magnetically charge weapons and armor to repel each other, making them more resistant to attacks. White Magic requires significant mental discipline and awareness, and becomes impossible to cast if the user is greatly distressed or aroused.
