Each magic user has a basic magic skill, which should be easiest to master and the first skill they learn in childhood. Eventually, they may learn a stronger skill, and a final special skill. The final skill is the most powerful, but it usually drains one's power a lot.
Not everyone will learn all three skills, some might only master one skill. Sometimes, the only skill they learn can be the final skill, or they might only learn the basic skill and master it to the point of being extremely potent.
The most common method of magic usage is convert magic essence from one's body into external power, this is called primary magic. There are basic magic skills everyone should be able to learn according to their own magic types. But if they became experts, they may find powerful abilities that they themselves can only master.
Aside from directly using your own magic essence, there are alternatives, which is secondary magic. You can extract magic from other matters or life beings, and apply it onto weapons or contain it. You can also draw magic circles to draw magic from surronding areas, although this is more time-consuming and requires more drawing skills. These can help you boost your powers or help you out if you are out of juice.
