There are two kinds of magick in Zion, Hermetic and Shamanic. With these, there are four elements; Earth/Nature, Air/Lightning, Fire and Water/Ice. Hermetic tends more towards the elements of Air and Fire, while Shamanism tends more towards Earth and Water. Below are further explainations of both.

Hermetic Magick

Hermetic magick tends more towards destruction. Spells of this nature are Fireballs, Ice shards, etc. Also it houses many spells that don't damage, but cause undesirable effects towards their targets, such as polymorph spells.

Shamanism Magick

Shamanism tends more towards beneficial effects, such as curing sickness, or healing powers. It is the magic of the spirit, and thus is also highly effective against beings of darkness.

While some scholars of magick consider this to be blasphemy, Psionics is sometimes considered apart of magick, though unlike using the power around themselves (such as Hermetic magick), or within their soul (such as Shamanism), Psionics affect the world around them with their minds, moving things from a distance, speaking into the minds of others, transporting themselves across great distances with just a thought... this gift is unteachable, and very rare, having just started appearing within Deviant groups. The reason this has been looped in with magick is because it is also affected by anti-magick fields.
