Universal Concept

Definition
Universal Concepts are philosophical mechanisms that build up the universe as we know it. Concepts are hierarchical. There are two types of concepts:

Humanoid: These are concepts that exist because of humans

Natural: These are concepts that simply are, and would remain even if humans were not there

Importance of Science & Philosophy in the Island Of Freaks
Science and Philosophy are two methods that are applied to understand the concepts of the universe. Due to the nature of Magic, the more someone understands a concept and all its details, the more powerful their magic becomes when the spell relates to that concept.

Not everyone is linked to a Universal Concept, as it requires becoming in tune with it and feeling it on a deep level. Magic is impossible without either a deep understanding of the mechanics nor being linked to a Universal Concept.
