Your former master have probably rotted away in their graves.
Ok so from what you were able to understand magic in this world is unatural, no one can naturally cast magic. magic is nothing but un-natural and outworldy energies altering how this reality works to match their own.
A magic user uses a Power source (most often their soul) to open a whole in reality and welcome these energies in this realm.
Magic and technology are unable to co-exist, since technology depends on reality working according to the laws of physics or somethings, also magic works on symbols and symbology and there is an inherent conflict in their symbols.
The energies of the other realms that are trying to invade our reality and mage use on their goals are:
-Elemental energies.
-Eldritch energies.
-Symbolic energies.
Elemental energies are stuff that is part of world but got so symbolic charged that a new realm pop-up outside our reality and now it seeks to consume us.
Eldritch energy is energy from the corpse of some eldritch creatures a group of mages killed a while ago, they are color coded and seem safe since the powerful creatures are dead, but whispers of their conscious can cause the users to go mad.
Symbolic magic is energy form planes made of ideas such as war, death, blood, chaos order etc...
Each type of magic seems to take around one year to learn and three years to create a spell.
But there is an easy way, you could summon a creature a make a pact, that way you learn a spell for free but need to do a favor for the creature.
You are tired of learning and walls of text.
