What sorcerers call Magic is the best utilized but no less mysterious of all the emanations of the source. By the combination of a person's will channeled through specific rituals and personal sacrifice, a variety of potent effects can be manifested. However, much like a mystical iceberg, the knowledge of the magical community is but a small part of the entire spectrum of the arcane. It is very easy for magicians, though a rash action or accidental convergence of factors creates a devastating and uncontrolled magical effect.
Normally one can rely on the Rock of Eternity and its Guardian of Magic to act as a filter for arcane flows, preventing disruptions from tearing the fabric of magic asunder. However, there are times when the disruption is so great, the effect so widespread, that even the Rock has difficulty returning things to normal. When the mystic storms subside and things return to normal, will-workers find that the reformed flows have been forever altered.
It is in those times when the current Age of Magic comes to an end, and a new one dawns. Because using magic relies on specific requirements the dawning of a new Age can have disastrous consequences across the entire Universe.
Wizards may find they are unable to cast spells, while previously normal individuals are endowed with great power. The normal boons and banes of supernatural creatures can be forever altered, allowing Vampires to walk in the daylight and make Werewolves immune to silver. Even the great Sorcerer Supreme can lose their position, finding it thrust upon another often unknown individual. Worse yet, magical prisons could be wiped away, allowing horrific entities freedom to sow chaos.
When the cosmic imbalance known as the Anti-Life Equation grew in Pleasant Hills, it caused da great disturbance in the fabric of reality. All the emanations of the Source were affected and this left the Rock unable to calm of the ripples within the flows of magic. A new Age of Magic was about to dawn in with these unique circumstances, no one knew what that would bring.
Thankfully, the Avengers were able to stop the expression of the Anti-Life equation with the sacrifice of the Vision, the Reverse-Flash, Mercury, and Nate Gray. With that, the turning of the Age was averted, if only for a few centuries.
