Magic

Magic, known as the Aura by the Oocca, known as the Light Force by Picori and Blood of the Gods by Akkalans is the manifestation of intent in the universe of Hyrule Conquest, serving as the metaphysical blood of the world and the source of magic. Magic can be used to manipulate the fabric of reality and bring life to that which has none.

Background
In simplest terms, Magic is potential, thought, and intent, a force of pure energy. It is analogous to a bloodstream in the greater cosmology of Hyrule, with Spirits serving as "red blood cells," and the First Sages and their creations intended to serve as "white blood cells," preventing the corruptions of the Druthulidi and other elements. Many of the Firstborn mortals of Hyrule had a much stronger connection to the Aura, such as the Akkalans, whom could tap into it through their very blood. By tapping into Magic, through their intent, mortals gain the ability to reshape the fabric of the world, be it conjuring a fireball or animating the dead.
