The fact that Styx can use magic was a little underplayed even in Volume One, something I hope to deal with better in Garanos II. Magic itself plays an understated part in this universe, so much that at times I've wondered whether it was entirely necessary at all. I've tried to keep the magic visually unique and simple instead of reverting to manga-like magic (such as in the works of CLAMP) to drive the point home that the magic present in this world isn't so flashy and dramatic. It mostly manifests itself in bright balls of light and the occasional glowing object.
