The world of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic presents a rich tapestry of magic, diverse races, formidable Djinn, and intricate histories. This bonus chapter delves into these elements, offering a comprehensive overview for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Magic System
Central to the Magi universe is its sophisticated magic system, which revolves around Magoi and Rukh. Magoi is the energy produced by Rukh, the fundamental particles that constitute life and the world itself. By converting Magoi into various substances, magicians can perform a myriad of magical feats. Whenever magic is invoked, an eight-pointed star symbol appears, signifying the activation of Rukh. This system allows for a wide array of magical phenomena, from elemental manipulation to complex spells.
The Eight Types of Magic
Magic in the Magi universe is categorized into eight primary types, each corresponding to a specific natural phenomenon:
Heat Magic: Manipulates thermal energy, allowing magicians to generate and control heat.
Water Magic: Enables control over water in various forms, from liquid manipulation to vapor generation.
Light Magic: Involves the manipulation of light, enabling illusions, invisibility, and light-based attacks.
Lightning Magic: Harnesses electrical energy to produce lightning bolts and electrify targets.
Wind Magic: Controls air currents, allowing for gusts of wind, flight, and even sharp air blades.
Sound Magic: Manipulates sound waves, capable of producing sonic booms or rendering targets deaf.
Strength Magic: Focuses on enhancing physical power and manipulating gravitational forces.
Life Magic: Pertains to the creation and manipulation of life forms, including healing and generating organic matter.
Magicians typically have an affinity for one type but can learn others through rigorous training and study.
The Magi System
Magi are exceptional magicians chosen by the Rukh to shape the world's fate. They possess the unique ability to summon and control Dungeons—mysterious labyrinths housing powerful Djinn. Each Magi selects individuals, known as King Vessels, to conquer these Dungeons and lead the world toward a specific destiny. Historically, three notable Magi have significantly influenced the world's trajectory:
Sheba: A devoted follower of Solomon, she played a pivotal role in the ancient world of Alma Torran.
Arba: Initially a comrade of Solomon, she later became a central figure in the establishment of the current world's order.
Ugo: A genius magician who assisted Solomon and later became the guardian of the Sacred Palace.
In the current era, Magi like Aladdin continue this legacy, guiding new King Vessels toward their destinies.

Human Races
The series showcases a variety of races, each with unique characteristics. Humans are the most prevalent, originating from Alma Torran and now inhabiting the new world created by Ugo. They were initially the weakest race until empowered by Ill Ilah. Other notable races include the Fanalis, known for their exceptional physical strength and red hair; Manticores; Ogres; Gorgons; and Hermits. These races contribute to the rich diversity of the Magi universe.
Dungeon System
Dungeons are enigmatic structures that appeared fourteen years before the current timeline. There are a total of 72 dungeons, each ruled by a Djinn. Clearing a dungeon grants individuals immense riches and the power of the residing Djinn. During the authority period of the Sacred Palace, Magi could make dungeon entrances appear and disappear at will.
Djinn and Their Abilities
Djinn are powerful beings residing within Dungeons. When a Dungeon is conquered, its Djinn forms a pact with the conqueror, residing within a Metal Vessel and granting immense power. Each Djinn possesses unique abilities corresponding to specific elements or phenomena. Notable Djinn include:
Amon: The Djinn of Decorum and Austerity grants the power of flame.
Baal: The Djinn of Wrath and Heroes bestows control over lightning.
Zagan: The Djinn of Loyalty and Purity, offers abilities related to life and plant manipulation.
The process of utilizing a Djinn's power is known as Djinn Equip, where the user transforms, embodying the Djinn's attributes and abilities.
King Candidates and Household Vessels
A King Vessel, formerly known as a King Candidate, is a dungeon capturer rewarded with a Djinn. This individual is chosen to be the next Solomon, regardless of their lineage or status. Household Vessels are objects of significance to the household members of a dungeon capturer. These vessels allow household members to harness a portion of the Djinn's power, forming a formidable support system for the King Vessel.
History and Alma Torran
Alma Torran is the original world where humans and other races coexisted. Initially, humans were oppressed by other species and lived underground until Il Ilah granted them magic, enabling them to rise and establish dominance. This led to the creation of structures like the Gunud Towers to control other species using Magoi. The events in Alma Torran set the stage for the conflicts and themes explored in the series.
