Reactive Magic

Reactive Magic is the term for how magic interacts between each other. The two sides work different and can work with and against one another. This knowledge is typically used for advance user of magic due to the required techniques and skill to perform adequately. However, knowing what you could be up against is walsy something to aim towards.

Reflective / Absorption

With the spectrum of magics, light and dark magics are the most polar opposites of the other six. Light magic is incredibly reflective. In many cases by creating flat surfaces an enchanter can completely reflect any magic entirely. On the other side, dark magic absorbs other magic. If the magic isn't strong enough they will absorb into the magic to strengthen it. The other six have resonates to reflect or absorb. They do not have to follow their parent magic and magicians are confused on why this occurs.
Arcane Magic: This can either absorb or reflect. Due to it's incredible verticality the spell made can perform abortion effects or reflective effects.
Death Magic: This can either absorb or reflect. It eats away other magic when the body begin to decay. It absorbs the magic until there's nothing left. When used to enchant, itseasl magic inside a nonliving object by reflecting it inside until its sealed.
Solar Magic: This is a reflective magic. With their affinity for barriers and healing. Those types of magics tend to either reflect attack or put the magic of the body into the wound.
Lunar Magic: This is an absorption magic. Their powerful illusions have the trait to absorb light to produce illusions. It's other effects increase in power from other magics unless countered correctly.
Fire Magic: This is an absorption magic. Fire constantly needs angry to burn and thus needs other magic to maintain it, so when other magic collides, it absorbs into instead of deflecting.
Water: This is a reflective magic. When water has reached the purest form of peace, it is a completely reflective surface. It doesn't need energy from other to exist and it's smooth surfaces and redirect magic due to its structure.

Reactivity

When using two types of magic at the same time, certain rules need to be followed in order to be used effectively. Look at the rules of reactivity, the power of a spell is strengthened when two spell are of the same reactivity such as two reflective or two absorption. As a result, conflicting magics result in a weaker spell and thus more power would be needed to draw upon to harness a stronger spell. This does mean that any combination of magic can be used, all but the Illumination Magics. Light and dark magics can only be used alone as they are in themselves a combination of three magics.

This is an important idea to keep in mind. Knowing the reactivity is essential in balancing spellcasting and the energy required to maintain them.
