How do I catagorize magic then? Mana blade, mana as an energy source? If yes, what is psionic then?
Elemental magic? Cuz pulling fire and lightning out of the plasma class ie energy class or struggling to classify thin jets of water as either physical or energy?
I wouldn't say magic is mental, but rather supernatural as it doesn't follow the physical laws of the material world.
A jet of water i would say is physical more than energy, depends on def of energy.
I think we are coming from two different frameworks.
