Expression is the only human magic to remain to date.
There are quite a few common beliefs.
'Art' dominates expression, includes written, visual and audible sectors. Sided by skill 'connect'.
Sound dominates. It has maybe the widest of systematic tables. It wields enormous power since its connection has the capability to become bidirectional even accidentally. Requires the feat of divine attune. Huge differences in natural resistance/vulnerability. Mass amplification through attainment.
Visual art is more powerful than writing to the maker. Touch magic, the effect is entwined in the casting. Non-target. Even low-level casters are seen as a mystic force, even if they had no real effect. Most of the power is illusionary and suggestive.
Writing is more powerful than speech. Writing is the most reliable solution. Touch magic, target self. High skill requirements for non-self targets. Writing is fettered by lingua - perhaps the most limited true possibilities for development.
Speech is more powerful than thought. Enables basic connect. Defines lingual properties. Employed as a tool for other fields. One day we will be free.
Thought is more powerful than instinct [sic]. Thought produces the most intensive expression. All expression is thought.
Instinct is an underlying force, surpasses thought. Instinctive expression is for some unknown reason seen as valuable and "pure" - even in cases artificially stimulated. Instinctive acts feel real. "Natural" magic.
Bullshitting is the basic force behind everything. Big conspiracy. Powered by half a dozen oxen. Produces what appears as expression, speech, thought and writing. Sometimes even a dominating power. Take this business seriously[sic].
Connecting is channelling. Skill of targeting. Connecting can amplify anything, works ubiquitously.
