Magic and medicine

The borderline between magic and medicine is quite unclear when both pharmaceuticals and spells can cure. Obviously, magic works in the Dreamlands, but given the fluid nature of reality in the Dreamlands it does not work the same way that it does in Wakeworld.
Scholars define three types of magic, namely Magiae Naturalis, Magiae Nativus (mana), and Magiae Divinus (theurgy).

• Magiae Naturalis
  This includes Western science-based medicine, herbal healing, yoga, acupuncture, and other knowledge that works in Wakeworld. The primary factor is that none of them require innate ability, can be mastered by pretty much anyone, and are repeatable. In short, while it can be complex and difficult to master, much like many professional trades, it is mundane.
• Magiae Nativus (mana)
  This is the application of mana, which is a characteristic of the individual (although a supernatural being can increase or decrease it). In general, entities who use mana for magic of their own ability, without supernatural assistance, are called wizards. The term can apply to people (and other races) of any gender.
  Most wizards belong to some particular school of wizardry (school refers to a general discipline, and not an actual institution, although there are a number of such institutions), mastering their ability thru study. Natural born wizards may be, for example, shamans. There are a variety of schools of wizardry, some good, some evil.
• Magiae Divinus (theurgy)
  Theurgy is magic empowered by a god (traditionally this refers to angels, while goetia is used for demonic empowerment). In the Dreamlands, however, the term refers to both good and evil, because both classifications depend on what religion you you evaluate them from Usually theurgy is taught at the particular temple/shrine of that god, by a Godsworn. However, not all supernatural beings have temples/shrines, or even Godsworn.

There is a never-ending argument between practitioners of Magiae Nativus and those of Magiae Divinus, with the former group claiming their magic is driven solely by the innate ability of the practitioner, and the latter group insisting that they are actually drawing on the power of a God, albeit unconsciously.
