Magic

Magical Strength and Talent
While all races in The Last Sovereign have magic inside them, not everybody is born with equal amounts. Those born with greater amounts of magic can become powerful with training and dedication. Although the members of your party have strong internal magic, the average person is weak compared to them. An example is the worshipers of the Goddess of Magic in the slums of Yhilin, who have the magical talent to be mages, but lack power to do extensive rituals, relying on the summoning of weak demons and then destroying them to harvest their magical energy.

It also appears that not everybody has the inborn talent to be a mage, though judging by how Robin questions Simon on why he doesn't try to learn how to be a mage it is more a matter of magical power and education. A strong warrior could be a strong mage, but they might not be suited to learning arcane magic due to the highly technical nature that goes into it. Simon for example is noted as being intelligent and with good magical power, enough to be a strong arcane mage, but his training has consisted of martial disciplines and re-training himself totally at this point in his life would most likely be difficult and a severe time investment.

Arcane

 * Arcane magic is studied at various thaumaturgical institutions. It has a lot of disciplines: Potions, Alchemy, Invocation and Enchantment are only some of the subjects that can be learned. Robin, Altina, Trin, Uyae, Wynn, Sho and Riala all use arcane magic.

Sexual

 * Sexual magic is practiced by all succubi, and it seems that other races can learn some form of it. The Incubus Kings as a whole use an extremely powerful form of sexual magic. Yarra, Qum, Nalili, Riala, Trin and Simon all use sexual magic.

Divine

 * Divine magic is practiced by adherents of religions. It seems to require religious practices, rituals and a strong faith in a divine figure. The various Chosen, Carina and Vhala all use divine magic.

Martial

 * This type of magic is what is used by most warriors. It is not technically a form of magic, seemingly to be physical actions strengthened by a person's internal magic. The techniques they "cast" are not typically categorized into arcane, sexual, or divine, but instead seem to rely on the raw magic of the person casting them. Any race seems to be able to use martial magic, using either mana or lust as a power source. The various techniques that are used seem to amplify the natural strength, durability and agility of the user and allies or inflict harmful conditions onto enemies. Some techniques, like Varia's, seem to drain vitality from the user when activatedm. Aka, Hilstara, Vhala, Varia, Uyae, Antarion, Nalili and Simon all use special abilities that use martial magic.

Humans

 * Humans in the world generally use martial, arcane, and divine magic, with the rare exception of specialists like Trin who have acquired a special power. There also seems to be some humans who utilize sexual magic, like the Aram fertility mage that is met in Eustrin.

Succubi

 * Succubi in the world are typically limited to sexual, martial and arcane magic. All succubi are born with some form of sexual magic, but must learn how to refine that power. Nalili shows that succubi can channel lust into martial magics, but presumably it is not as popular as sexual magic. They can also learn to cast arcane magic through study, in the case of Riala. Succubi have no access to divine magic, exactly why is unknown, but the appearance of Unsuccubi, who are totally immune to divine magic due to the removal of the sexual parts of their soul, seems to imply a divine connection.

Halfings

 * Halflings in the world are similar to humans in their usage of magics.

Zirantians

 * Zirantians in the world can use arcane, martial and past civilizations of theirs have even harnessed their own form of sexual magic. The Divine Claw seems to train its disciples in a balanced fighting style of arcane and martial magic from a young age.

Dwarves

 * Dwarves in the world have been seen to use arcane magic, but not sexual or divine. It is possible that in the past that there were divine mages among the dwarves, but the worship or lack thereof of Tertia seems to imply there haven't been any for a good while. Dwarves are noted to be among the most resistant to sexual magic among the races.

Elves

 * Elves in the world presumably use martial magic and have been seen to use arcane mage. They do not draw their divine magic from Ivala but from their patron goddess The Mother instead. The presence of Lynine gives the idea that elves could use sexual magic, but she might just study it theoretically instead. Elves are also shown to be incredibly susceptible to sexual magic, which some claiming because they are the most "pure" of the races, but others like Orilise and Lynine disagree on that point.

Orcs

 * Orcs in the world are an interesting anomaly. While they cannot actively use sexual energy, they seem to be able to store it and grow larger, eventually transforming into ogres. Orcs seem to be able to use both martial and arcane magic, but they also don't seem to use mana or lust to use them. Neither Orcent nor Grubbak have any costs to their special abilities, but orcs do take more damage from any attack that hits them.

Disciplines of magic

 * Invocation is magic brought into the world for destruction purposes.
 * Enchantment is binding power to an object regardless of the source.
 * Embodied magic is the study of how magical auras are generated by physical creatures and the subsequent interactions.
 * Necromancy
 * Summoning
 * Teleportation
 * Warding
 * Illusion

Magical Equipment
Magical equipment is made to enhance the attributes of those who use it. It can be anything from swords to pins to rocks.

Magical equipment is made separately for mages and warriors. Mage's equipment is then separated into arcane, sexual and divine. A mage generally cannot use equipment from another class of magic, but succubi mages like Yarra can learn to utilize arcane equipment. Saner Altina or as a cockwhore can use sexual equipment, possibly due to her ordeal at Withered Tower. If Varia was chosen to be dominated she can use sexual equipment, but if she was reshaped she can use divine oriented equipment, like the Crusader sword.

Weird Magic
In the course of the game Simon is able to encounter several strange varieties of magic and magic users in the world.
 * The Chosen - With the exception of one, The Chosen are greedy, selfish, arrogant, moronic and sexually degenerate. They also share the same general age, same features and the same powers. Able to gain power incredibly quickly by slaying insignificant creatures like rats thanks to the blessing of Ivala, they are only held in check by the fact that their own natures lead to their demises before they grow strong enough to challenge The Incubus King. Questions surround where exactly they come from, and other oddities about exactly what they are have cropped up in recent times.


 * Qum - Qum Dumpe is a outright odd succubus with the ability to see all forms of magic. This ability allows her to be incredibly useful when dealing with magic and a magical savant.
 * Trin - Trin is a slave mage with an unusual and powerful ability, the power to break off pieces of weak-willed targets' souls and make physical copies of them which she can control.
 * Varia - Varia's magical ability is strange in that she has no concious control over it. In cases where there's any chance that she could not be harmed by a dangerous event, she will be totally unharmed. Even when she has no chance to escape harm, she will be miraculously less harmed than she should be. However, this incredible luck is almost always followed by the deaths of those whom surround her.
 * Ginasta - An extremely powerful warrior, Ginasta has powerful magic that is seemingly able to break the laws of magic. She also appears to be immune to magic that attempts to tamper with her soul, even that on the level of an Incubus King.
 * Stark - An orc who is met as a severed head, and despite the visual evidence to the contrary, he is not dead due to his overwhelming life force. It's unknown how long Stark was only a head before he was discovered, but it doesn't seem like he can regenerate the rest of his body. He can also talk despite having no lungs, presumably thanks to magic.
 * Alonon - The King of Ardoheim is an enigma. He can see through magical deceptions, even strong ones like the magic that hides Simon's essence, and can seemingly teleport people without leaving any magical traces. His powers can be assumed to originate from the the mysterious Tower he encountered.

Magical Phenomena
The types of magic do not always remain distinct in the case of "superreal phenomena":
