Chi (or Ki) and Magic are two different things.

Chi is the Life Force that exists in all things.


 * [Senjutsu] is the generic term for the manipulation of Chi for various purposes. The Chi can be from one's own body, or from their surroundings.


 * [Touki] is releasing one's own Chi from their body, then cloaking themselves in it to enhance their phisical abilities. If one draws in Chi from the surrounding area, then fuses it with their own Chi, this can result in a much stronger [Touki].

Magic is the Spiritual Energy that exists in various forms depending on one's race.


 * Devils: [Demonic Power]


 * Angels/Fallen Angels: [Light Power]


 * Youkai: [Youjutsu]


 * Humans: Since they aren't a "supernatural" race, their Spiritual Energy is generic. While they do posses Spiritual Energy, they don't manipulate it "naturally" like the supernatural races do. Devils use their [Demonic Power] to "create" phenomena with their imagination, while Humans have to "construct" phenomena using equations and formulas.
