Magus Of Possibilities

A Mystic Code is a support weapon that a magus carries as a magical artifact. Top tier Mystic Codes are said to have the equivalent power to a missile.

A Spiritual Item is a special tool which is used by Magus to aid in the use of Magecraft

Both are essentially the same thing only called differently

Principles:

When magi carry out precise ceremonies and spells, they often use specialized tools which correspond to the symbols and requirements for the spell in question, allowing it to be executed more efficiently and conveniently.

An example of this would be using a spear when using magecraft based on a story involving a legendary spear - the spear is not absolutely necessary, and certain items with the same shape and function can be used in its place (such as an umbrella), but details being closer to that of the intended item decrease the odds of the spell failing and makes it more effective following the idol theory.

Spiritual items are mostly nothing more than tools, with a few exceptions. When a the user holds a spiritual item, it becomes a part of their body and part of the magic power/prana flowing through their blood vessel will circulate through it, enabling them to function this is especially true to certain supernatural creatures and lineages. This power can also be provided remotely and for some items, magic power will continue to circulate for a little while after the magician lets go of it.

In the past, destruction of a spiritual item would sever the circulation of magic power and damage the magician. Nowadays, safety devices are incorporated into them to prevent this

Types:

Symbolic Weapons are a representative example of spiritual items - produced, consecrated and only touched by the user, lest the circulation be interfered with and rendered incomplete. This may range from a conceptual weapon to a noble phantasm

Amplifier Mystic Code is the first type and functions as an amplifier for Magecraft. They are an orthodox Mystic Code for support, that can be used for magical energy amplification or storage, prepared to strengthen a spell.

Specialised Mystic Code is the other type that have a predetermined usage. They are activated with the magus's magical energy and can perform a given mystery as long as it is supplied with energy. It becomes a spell in itself.

Supreme Mystic Code is a Mystic Code of sufficient to be called symbolic of a family of similar level to one of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower.

Miscellaneous Mystic Code Amongst Mystic Codes there are several which are unique enough even amongst Magi to warrant interest
