Magic

magic is taking Life energy and changing and transforming it. Transforming means both changing the type of life energy and more complex things like shape, projection and reaction effects. you typically use your excess life energy for magic but you can use non-excess life energy at the risk of dying.
There are a variety of ways to be able to do magic, these are called enablers. Enablers are the cause that you could do magic but and they determine some things you would and would not be capable of. A enabler however doesn't always immediatly give you magic it just opens up to possibility. A breaking point is the point where your soul actually changes causing the magical abilities to start. Enablers are a bit of a spectrum split into 3, these 3 magics go from having a lot of influence on being able to get the enabler to having no influence on it yourself. from influence to no influence it goes: Arcane magic, Emotion magic and Innate magic. there is also outer influences like being given blessings from other entities this most of the time is counted under innate magic.
Excess life energy in the body is what is normally used to cast spells. The excess is the life energy in the body that it has as a reserve if the normal isn't enough. This excess isn't a lot but it can be trained to be larger. This training is by increasing the output of a person's Soul. By training the output of a soul can become far larger than normal. Training is mainly done by simply using life energy through you enabler to get the soul used to using more life energy. The output of a soul can also increase by being exposed to magic more.

Everything has influence on everything

One of the most important principles in magic is that everything has an influence on everything. Your biology has an influence on your magical energy, your way of thinking does too. When you become enabled to do magic you soul changes to allow you to change life energy, and when you soul changes sometimes permanent magical functions can start to happen. like such everything has influence on everything, so here are some of the different things that have influence on things 1 your soul: your soul causes emotion, is what gives the absolute basics of thought like wanting to reproduce and is what produces your life energy. your soul is the centerpiece of everything in terms of influence nearly everything both has influence on the soul and influences it. A changing of the soul is what enables magic to happen, when your soul changes you should see it like that change is a machine that with electricity(life energy) can do a function. 2 your body. Most of the time a manifestation of magic happens around your body, both permanent or temporary things either change your body or appear there to be shot out, think of altering your appearance but also having life energy come out of your hands to make a fireball. if can also influence the soul with biology/dna 3 your mind. when thinking influences the soul to change is one way that the mind influences the soul. Sometimes spells so magical energy are used on the mind with things like read mind or detect magic. 4 your life energy. your life energy runs through your entire everything to provide it with life. it is what’s transmuted by the soul to turn into spells. it can change type to become virtually anything. rarely does life energy change the soul unless it was influenced by something else 5 other life energies. things around you can influence you too, kind of like radiation if energy in the world around you is very out of the normal it can influence your life energy and in extreme cases change your soul.

permanent magical changes

Beside spells some magic changes are more permanent as well. no matter how a person gains magic, when they do their soul changes to reflect this change. every 1 source of magic is one change to the soul, for example being a wizard changes the soul but so does being a tiefling(but a person can be both there just happened 2 changes to the soul then). changes cause multiple things, first they are what allows for spellcasting partially and second they very often also give more permanent changes or at least more specific abilities. more permanent changes are magical functions but very often are incredibly efficient causing them to cost barely any life energy. awakening is what it is called when a soul changes after birth, this change is what causes magic and right after awakening it is possible for incredibly rapid growth of the magic abilities to happen.
