Hero Story: You Are Special

Imagine a world where magic is real and some possess unique abilities that defy reason. But what happens when you lack both? In a world where being special is common and normal is strange. Asher Himmel is a young boy who lives only with his grandfather, in a seedy neighborhood along with other people that society has turned its back on him for having mediocre or non-existent skills. One day, while cleaning, Asher finds his grandfather's comic book collection and decides to read it out of boredom, not knowing that this would inspire him with the nobility and moral dilemmas of those subjects called 'heroes'. But that would not be the only thing that would change in the young man, as he would be visited by a being of indescribable appearance, which gives him a chance to become a 'hero'. This is the story of a young Argonaut whose ordinary dreams are transformed into something extraordinary, challenging the very notion of what it means to be a hero.

Magic

Magic is the ability to manage the principles of the universe by means of an energy called mana.

Mana is the unique energy possessed by every living being. It is created in the body of every life form in a different way and form that facilitates or hinders its use.

Magic is a tool that anyone can learn as long as they possess the aptitudes, the potential to use it and a mental image of the phenomenon to handle.

Aptitude is measured with the color scale of the visible light spectrum, red being the total absence of mana suitable for use while violet represents being blessed by mana and always being able to use it in the most efficient way as long as you have a clear mental image. Aptitude is something you are born with and is unbeatable.

Potential is measured in numbers from 0 to 9, which determine the strength and scale of the magics at your disposal. Unlike aptitude, potential improves as you train and gain experience. The speed at which you obtain higher numbers depends directly on your aptitude, with violets being those with monstrous growth speeds; greens those who grow at a normal rate; and oranges who go at the slowest rate (reds do not grow from zero potential).

Mental imagery is the process by which you create the mental postulates that will allow you to perform magic. "You can't mine gold without knowing what gold is and its properties."

One more fact to know is that all spells from level 1 to 6 are tabulated in magic books, with their respective mental image. The only spells that are not available to the general public are those that are tied to unique abilities or lineage, aside from spells level 7 and up.
