Magic is divided into Practices: functional domains rather than spell schools. Practices are modular and flavor-agnostic. Each character chooses four Practices to define their magical capabilities.
Practices are the fundamental building blocks of magic in unGOD Magica. Unlike traditional spell schools, Practices are mechanically defined but thematically flexible — how you describe your Kinetics is up to you.

When creating your character, you'll choose four Practices to represent your magical expertise. Consider:
- Versatility vs. Specialization — Do you want a broad toolkit or deep mastery?
- Offensive vs. Defensive — Balance damage, protection, and utility
- Mundane Cover — Some Practices are easier to hide than others
- Bloodline Synergy — Your Bloodline may favor certain Practices
